Hello!  Well, last week Friday, as many of you may already know, I was interviewed by a local Hawaii TV news station.  There were 2 crews, actually.  One crew was from Hawaii, and the other crew was from a Japanese movie company.  Basically, I was interviewed about the JET Program (the program that I am on).  The news reporter from Hawaii was a former JET about 10 years ago.  She lived in Hitachiota city in Ibaraki prefecture for 2 years.  Now she is the TV news anchor for KGMB Channel 9 news in Hawaii.  It is a broadcast station, kind of like NHK, Fuji TV, or TV Asahi.  Anyway, the news reporter wanted to take video of a typical English O.C class.  I was so nervous!!!!!  The students didn't seem to be nervous about the camera, though.  After class was finished, the news reporter interviewed me in the teachers room, and she asked me many questions like 'Why did you come to Japan?' 'What are interesting things about Japanese culture?'  'What kind of difficulties are you experiencing in Japan?' and so on.  I was so nervous, but I hope I answered all of the questions well. 

My family and friends are excited because maybe they will see me on TV in Hawaii!!!!  Also, people around the world can watch it, too, on the Internet.  So when I find out when the story will be broadcast, I will let you know, and you can enjoy it!!!!  Until then, Aloha!!!
