 The U.S. and Japan form a strong bond, but maintaining relationships is an extensive process. I think building relationships begins with our youth, so to keep a nice positive relationship between the United States and Japan, I think it's essential that kids are added to the mix and that they're taught from an early age to be tolerant and respectful of one another and to see one another as friends. I think this event does this perfectly. Cultural barriers may appear difficult to an outsider, but children always seem to find a way. I just really enjoyed playing with them because they're just so, so friendly. Yeah, they are really friendly. They're really fun to play with and they're easy to make friends with. Friendships made here could one day shape the future of our two nations.
