If you participated with others, what were their thoughts about the Nagomi Visit?

We visited with my family of six. Two adults and four teenagers. We all enjoyed the experience. My oldest enjoyed connecting with the two oldest daughters while my son and younger daughters enjoyed playing Nintendo with the son.

What was your most memorable moment?

I have two. After dinner, we sat around and talked and I really appreciated the level of comfort that we had developed in a short amount of time. My second was watching the younger children connect through Nintendo. Play transcends language barriers.
