CHAT WITH SHIGAKUKAN
H.S. IN JAPAN
September 22nd, 2000
September 22nd was "BUNKA-SAI
(a cultural festival)" for one of our corresponding schools,
Shigakukan High School in Japan.
As a part of the kick-off
ceremony of their "BUNKA-SAI," Japanese 1 of Natrona
County H.S. and volunteers from Shigakukan enjoyed chatting in
both Japanese and English for 40 minutes across the Pacific.
The distance between Casper
and Kagoshima where Shigakukan High School is located is more
than 6000 miles; but thanks to technology, we can communicate
real-time through a chat progam developed by Mr. Kajihara (a teacher
at Shigakukan H.S).
