I work in a high school and want to set up an International Multimedia Penpal Program. We'd use video feeds, email and tradtional letters to have the students introduce culture and everyday living to one another. Japanese culture has a broad range of tradtion and pop culture and figured American students could be introduced to new worlds. If there are any teachers currently teaching English in Japan and would be interested please respond to this. Million thanks.

I only wish I was in Japan teaching english. I am a mother of two who would live to take my children to Japan simply for all the traditions and culture they have to offer. I just wanted to tell you that I think you are wonderful for trying to get our children to learn about things that are not a requirement, but something well worth learning about. If you by chance find someone to be a penpal or need one that isn't a student I would be more than willing. I just wish there were more people like you.

Good luck!!!
