Cyber Buddies

I opened my email this morning to discover 62 of my new best friends! All of the participants received access to each other's emails and it is as if the flood gates have burst open! Everyone is just as excited as I am. Just as I was trying to reply to one person, I got four more emails.



The other teachers going to Japan are from every corner of the country. It is quite fascinating to see this diverse group of Americans converging for a life changing experience. I am sure we will get to know each other via email and blogs like this one over the next three weeks leading up to our departure. I have never experienced getting to know someone over the Internet before meeting them in person. I now know what it is like to have cyber buddies!
