I know some of you heard about last night's earthquake in Kumamoto, Japan. This city is on an island far south of where we are and we have not felt any aftershocks or been impacted by this earthquake at all. We are all safe and enjoying the mountain scenery today. Tonight, we travel to Kyoto to stay with our host families and sister school. Feel free to reach out with any questions but I just wanted to confirm that we are all fine.
