PechaKucha 20x20 is a simple presentation format where you show 20 images, each for 20 seconds. The images advance automatically and you talk along to the images. The presentation format was devised by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham of Klein Dytham architecture. The first PechaKucha Night was held in Tokyo in their gallery/lounge/bar/club/creative kitchen, SuperDeluxe, in February, 2003. Klein Dytham architecture still organize and support the global PechaKucha Night network and organize PechaKucha Night Tokyo.

Preparing the Pecha Kucha presentation was a good expierience, espacially due to the fact that I have never done it before. The construction of the presentation and timing was essential, not only because it helped my presentation flow but also to organize the information that i have prepared in a clear stucture.
I have not only developed my presenting skills, but also I have done a proper research to get to know my subject as best as I can. My self confidence was bulit on my reasearch knowledge and my own expierience. It was really interesting to become a part od this social network and see how other people leave, react and deal with their problems. I became a user because I wanted to see from inside how this application works, that is why from the very beginning I was scepticall.
I realize that for some people, being supported by other annonymous user is extremly helpful and they treat MoodPanda as some kind of psychotherapy.
For some reasons I think that a lonley people can find themselfs in a society where they can strip out of theirs problems without getting judged by anybody from 'outside'.
My presentation was a co-operation with my friend Melina Ioannou, so her part of the presentation you can find on her blog.
