The first place that we went on Ie Shima was to the community center where Valerie's Okinawan friend, Atsuko, teaches English to small children every Saturday morning. That day she incorporated the three of us into her learning program - and we each got to "interview" the children as a prelude to their being allowed into the learning area. At the end of the interview, each child had to ask, "May I please come in." It was great fun, and the kids seemed to enjoy it almost as much as we did!
