Hello hashers,
Happy New Year to all, except those on the Chinese Calendar, then we'll get back to you next month. :O)
Several messages to pass on from the world of hashing . . .
AFRICA HASH 2015: CANCELLED! We regret to finally announce that the Pan Africa Hash 2015 in Freetown, Sierra Leone, has fallen victim to the Ebola Virus Disease Pandemic in Wet Africa. After monitoring the situation over the last few months, we have come to the conclusion that it will not be possible to host the PAH in 2015. While there are hopeful signs of getting the EVD under control in some of the worst hit districts in the country the situation in Freetown proper and the surrounding Western Area and a few other districts are still not safe.

INTERHASH 2016: Currently we are having problem with our website. Our domain is still marked as expired even after we've renewed it, perhaps due to some glitch in our registrar's system. Due to this problem, our website will temporarily down. We are currently trying to solve this problem with our registrar. Hopefully our website will up and running again shortly. Unfortunately, this email account also stops working and cannot receive any email. As a temporary workaround, we've setup an alternate email address baliinte...@gmail.com . . . Please contact us using that email until we resolve this problem. Please do not reply this email, use the new email address above.
EUROHASH 2015: SOLD OUT! See the details at http://eurohash.org/
INTERAM 2015: SOLD OUT! See the details at http://www.interamoregon.com/
PANASIA 2015: Rego still open . . . http://www.panasiapondy.com/
INTERSCANDI 2015: Rego still open . . . http://www.interscandi.org/

In the Spotlight - Tokyo
The World Atlas lists Tokyo as the largest city in the world at over 37 million people. In a city of this size, it is not hard to imagine a robust hashing community, with an amazing countryside with extensive trails to make any hasher happy. There are currently 5 weekly hash clubs (Monday = Tokyo Men's Hash; Wednesday = Tokyo Ladies H3; Friday = Finally Friday Fukov H3; Saturday = Samurai H3; Sunday = Sumo H3) running in and around Tokyo. The Tokyo H3 is the oldest hash in Japan, and was founded on 14 June 1976 by Patrick 'Dunafew' Donoghue, who brought the sport over from Hong Kong. While still bearing the name, the Tokyo Men's H3 is now a mixed club and runs on Monday evenings, and is due to complete their 2000th Hash in March of 2015. Not satisfied with just a Men's Hash in Tokyo, Marion Gosshalk founded the Tokyo Ladies Hash in November 1983. Also now a mixed club, the TLH3 runs on Wednesday evenings in the central Tokyo area and has completed well over 1600 hash trails. The largest hash in the greater Tokyo area is the Samurai H3, founded by Milt 'Uncle Milty' Halloran on 5 May 1984. Due to an amazingly efficient train system, the Samurai H3 can boast what is probably the largest area that a weekly hash can reasonably be expected to occur. Realistically, within 90 minutes you can find the Samurai H3 at any one of the 2000 plus train stations throughout a 50,000 square kilometer area in and around the Kanto Plain. Running weekly on Saturday, a once a month family trail and various other events, the Samurai H3 will be celebrating their 2000th trail towards the end of 2015. During the 80s and 90s, various hash clubs came and went throughout Tokyo, and the next weekly hash club still running is the Sumo H3. Founded by Ed "Hazukashii" Howell on 6 Jan 2002, the Sumo H3 runs on Sunday afternoons and also takes advantage of the vast train system and can be found setting trail over a significant portion of the Kanto Plain, and will be enjoying their 500th hash later in 2015. It is common for all the Tokyo based hash clubs to start at or near a train station, and host an on-on-on at a local restaurant. The Men's and Ladies hash clubs often actually hold the circle inside the restaurant, which surprisingly is well received by the other patrons. As you might expect, Tokyo has a fairly expensive cost of living, and normal hash can cost about US$10, with dinner/circle costing around US$30. For those of us that ran multiple hash trails a week, this could get expensive, and spawned the Finally Friday Fukov H3 founded by John "Old Sock" Antweiler on 9 July 2004 that skipped the formality of dinner, with a quick circle after the trail and the hashers heading off for further activities on their own. Tokyo also hosts two significant monthly hash clubs, the Rising Moon H3 founded in 1992 by Francis "Dirty Dingus" Turner . . . and the Kanto Katch the Hare H3 founded by Toshiyuki "Bancock" Ichimura on 22 Jan 1995. There are also a few other hash clubs running at various intervals in the greater Tokyo area, and the details can be found at http://gotothehash.net/japan/h3injpn.html as well as hashing through Japan.

Now for something completely different . . . Random Thoughts
- Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
- I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.
- There is a great need for a sarcasm font.
- Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what was going on when I first saw it.
- I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.
- I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.
- The only time I look forward to a red light is when I'm trying to finish a text.
- Was learning cursive really necessary?
- I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
- How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear what they said?
- I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers!
- Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
- Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.
- I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.
- Bad decisions and bad experiences make good stories.
- You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you've made up your mind that you just aren't doing anything productive for the rest of the day.
- There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.
- I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.
- I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.
- As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate motorcyclists.
- Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
- I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
