Multiple children in Tokyo answered that they "do not know" about Korea so well before the activity, however, after the activity, participants commented: "Their reactions are very funny", "They pay attention to us", "We can communicate by drawings without words", "I liked their Japanese pronunciations", "There are people like us in the other country", "I discovered there are many Koreans who laugh", "I found their names interesting. There are many funny kids, just like Japan", "It was good that we could do Pangaea together", "Koreans laughs often. They speak fast", "Japan and Korea are not very different", "I would like to play with Korean kids more", "They were kind to us despite difference of country". Children at two sites had a good time communicating with each other while looking at each other's faces through webcam.
