 Kyoto's First Webcam Activity with Seoul

5_2.jpg Long awaited Webcam Activity was held on Saturday, June 6th in Kyoto. Children all waited for this day, and they seem to be a bit nervous at the beginning. We practiced with Cho san how to greet with Korean, as Korean children practiced in Japanese. Once we've met on Webcam, and played Koetsuna, things started to warm up. My favorite thing quiz was a big hit, as both sides were able to find someone to figure out from three hints what the person's favorite thing is. Everyone was able to greet with foreign langugage, and when they greet and announce their names one by one, friends in other side of Webcam all answered with their greeting with your name. Children's faces flash up with big smiles. They used Giant Pictons effectively, and had a great fun. Things got very excited, and at the end of session, they were all waving their hands to their friends. Moment of happiness......... For many staffs it was their first time experiencing Webcam. They now see the whole picutre how Pangaea is trying to bring a universal playground around the world.
