Hello Tsutomu!
Hello Honami, Saki, Airi and Ruru!

Welcome to the "Who am I?" project.

Do you know a group called Kiroro? One of our friends in Amsterdam told us they were good;)

Next week we will be talking about "What do I want to be when I'm older?". I hope you have plenty of ideas!

We were all sorry to hear about the explosion in Japan today. We hope you and your families are safe. We had the same thing in Europe some years ago (Chernobyl) and we send you our best wishes.

"Arigato" (I only know 1 word in Japanese!)

best wishes,

Hi Shawn, Autumn, Susan, Erin, Halimah and Trey,

Thank you for writing to our Japanese friends. I'm sure they'll write back when they can, but they don't get to the lab every day so it might take them a while.

Meanwhile, did you see their photo? It's here:
