JAPAN - Today, after school, we made our first visit to Gaku, a school child-care center. The children, who range from 1st to 4th grade, not only greeted us warmly, but also seemed to get to know each other quickly and played recreational games for two hours. We had a good time with each other. We are looking forward to the future.
