The story is bottom of this page and it's the worth to take a look at.

Six students at Punahou School in Honolulu, Hawaii will visit our school in June and three of them want to get experience of Japanese family life. So Homestay for them  come true. Then Both of students want to meet and get to know each other as the first step for sharing culture and we had this video conference (VC). This started from self-introduction, and they really enjoyed talking about family, favorite food, hobby and so on. 30 minutes went away so fast and they promised to meet again with waving SAYONARA, and then both of them went to their class. On technical side, in fact Audio was always behind Video for 3 seconds at the last VC on May 13/14,  we used Skype for Audio, which is famous IP phone software, of course we set up two PCs for VC.
