My name is Mark Ohara, and I am the Coordinator for International Relations in Katsuyama City.
(Me at Kinkakuji in Kyoto)
I just wanted to say thank you very much for allowing us to visit your school next spring, and I'm really looking forward to introducing you to some students from Katsuyama!
I have already taught two workshops to familiarize the students to Hawaii, and the first of those was a cooking class where we all made mochiko chicken. Here are some pictures from the event:

I will ask the students to begin posting on this blog so that you can get a sense of who we are and what kind of place Katsuyama City is. I think it's a really interesting place with a lot of unique activities (including Japan's largest dinosaur fossil museum and a world-class skiing and snowboarding resort) so I definitely want to share it with all of you! I hope we are all able to post some interesting information and have fun corresponding with each other all the way until our trip in March.
Mahalo, and have a great day!
