Living in amazing Thailand I've got a couple to share:

1) Blackout ... it was a closed dojo, it turned pitch black so we really couldnt hit each other, as one could've guessed. Except for one bugger who had a field day running around tsuki-ing everyone lol still haven't found out who it was til this day, although we suspect it was our beloved sensei lol (he's a playful bloke)

2) Conflict with swim meet, of all things. They said they reserved the dojo a year in advance, and needed the gym for 'resting area' of athletes ... we were obviously not amused. The worst bit was we had THREE hachi-dan visiting from Japan that very day. We were forced to practise in the outdoor gym (remember 30C Thai weather) T'was an embarassing day for Thailand Kendo, however we made it up the day after.

3) Our gym flooded. Very rainy day + air-conditioner broke down letting flow some more water to the floor. Needless to say we decided against a water kendo session, although I would've liked to try

it seemed pretty fun ...
