Before heading there, I first attended the morning meeting at Rumoi High School since the bus to Shosanbetsu is still 9:24. For this trip, I will be using my 2-day Moekko Free Ticket

I double-checked the information in the speech contest kit 

I arrived at the Shosanbetsu bus stop at around 11:20AM and was picked up by staff from the bus stop. Okumura-sensei my JTE from Haboro High School was already there when I arrived. A little after that, Sasaki-sensei my JTE from Embetsu Agricultural High School. We were welcomed by the Shosanbetsu Junior High School principal before being ushered to the library, which served as our deliberation room.
