THE NATIONAL DIET


We visited the National Diet building in Tokyo and had a tour of the House of Representatives. We met a member of the House, Kousuke Ito, who was thrilled to meet so many Americans. When he saw us, he pumped his fist in the air and said "Go Obama!"

I loved hearing about the "pumping of the fist!!" It seems as though the whole world is eager for change in America! Anyway, I am so envious of your tenacity and sense of adventure! Sounds like a great time! Looking forward to hearing about your firsthand experiences and impressions about Japan's education system. Facinating! Move over Samantha Brown, here comes Caroline Calhoun!
