Awesome Travelers Say Thanks to Panasonic


********************************On September 22 the travelers gathered at the Panasonic headquarters to share a big thank you with the Panasonic managers and staff. We all agreed that traveling the world was more exciting than attending class or studying for tests. Everyone in the group spoke eloquently about our experiences in Japan. Certainly a highlight was Rylan's repeated use of the descriptive term "slimey". After our meeting with the Panasonic staff we spent some time catching up and planning for our next reunion.
