[Mail from Corona teachers after the session]
Satoshi Sensei,
We are so excited!! We thought the video conference went very well!! We were very pleased. I hope that your principal and students were pleased, too. I thought there were several funny moments. It is now 4:45 and I am still at school.
Domo arigato. I wish you and your students well. Can we do this again later in the year? Am I being too presumptuous? I hope not.
I am very tired, yet very excited. Thank you again. I am anxious to hear your thoughts on the v.c. Please write soon. Although, I know you will be busy with graduation in the coming days.
Thank you students again.
By the way, did you notice our sign. We tried to write in Japanese and I think I may have written it upside down. We also wrote congratulations in English and in Spanish.
Everyone in your school deserves a big round of applause.
Good bye. Have a nice day.

Congratulations on a very successful video conference. You did not have to worry after all because the students did very well. I especially enjoyed their songs and questions. Tell your students that I am impressed with their English pronunciation--it is very good. I also enjoyed their laughter and humor. My daughters were very interested in the v.c. and they enjoyed the song also. I hope that we continue our e-mail and v.c. friendship.
Sayonara,
