2011 Keizai Koho Center Japan Fellowship - Day 1

Hello.  For the next nine days I will be visting Japan as a member of the 2011 Keizai Koho Fellowship program.  The fellows for this year consist of 10 social studies teachers from the United States.  We will be visting schools, factories, businesses and historical locations in Japan in order to better understand Japan and the Japanese culture.

I will be posting some reflections and thoughts from this experience a little later but while I had a little time tonight I wanted to post a couple pictures from our experiences today.
