Just returned from fruitful trip to Europe, and I am back in Japan where it is quite humid and hot.. Except for London, it was very hot especially in Italy. After walking about an hour to visit for the presentation, I got a sun tan. In Paris, I visited UNESCO HQ and met many wonderful people who expressed the strong interests to our project. Our direction to seek a way to come to appreciations of cultural diversities very much is in the same direction with UNESCO, and therefore, they understand our project instantly. We will visit Kenya UNESCO at the end of this month, and visit one of Community Multimedia Center. There was another organization I have met who has similar concepts community centers in Addis, Sierra Leone, Palestine, India and now planning more in South Africa. They were also very interested and we will seek funds together to start Pangaea in their centers. I was very thankful with those who had been so nice to wait for us and making this all happen. Especially Greg who is in London, booked me with many appointments and also giving me advices. Then Marion who is very busy with her own project helped me to meet with UNESCO, and Simon who always very understanding to our project since we told him about Pangaea as he was heading Media Lab Europe in Dublin. I will see them again very soon in September to really now start pushing to open more locations. Well, I'd better go to sleep as it is 4 AM and I have a terrible jet lag.... Good night.
