Here
is the explanation for the banner and group photo - from Hazukashii .
I was hashing in Brazil a couple weeks ago, on an away weekend much like this
one.
They had made this banner especially for that weekend.
After we returned, the GM asked me to deliver it to the Hash Museum in Kuala
Lumpur.
So, I am taking it along on my journey around the world, and getting photos
to share with the Brasilia H3 back in Brazil.
They send good hash cheer to the Athens H3 for the photo.
Hashers love group photos
