 Back to Japan

I came back to Kyoto two days ago, then we had an activity in Kyoto yesterday. I reported children and staffs about my trip to Seoul, Dubai, and Nairobi with photos. Also we have got some keyholders from Kenya for little souvenirs. I got Kenyan dress, and was going to wear it, but when I wore it, it didn't look, or I should say, I didn't look right. It looked nice when I tried in Kenya... Maybe eating too much in Kenya. Toshi and I both love Kenyan food, also Korean food. So being busy and always traveling, we should be loosing some weights, but instead, we gain when we go on travel.... Now back to Japan, as soon as I turned my PC on, UK skyped me and we engaged about an hour for information. Well, that was fun! This morning, I get email from Seoul about coming trip. In between, we are preparing new facilitator training program. We have done this over 10 times, and

we now see what need to be added, and what needs to be dropped. Thinking of program with least text messages, and more hands-on, more graphic information are demanded. But this has put us in the situations to come up with quite wonderful program. Well, we plan to have another web cam with Kyoto and Seoul next month. Each time, it is getting better. Volunteers who are college students mostly give us the good news that they got their employments promise from company after their graduation. Oh, by the way, my friend from MIT Media Lab Europe now back in US emailed me recently and we started to correspond again. It is nice to know those who remember me and Pangaea and wish the success of our project. Thanks, Carol!
