Kevin Sword Intro

You can see my name in the title, so I won't bother telling you it. I live in Bristol, Vermont and love skiing. I also like any sort of exercise such as biking, swimming, walking, running, et cetera. I love working with and fixing computers. I also like playing and singing music with my trombone and piano. I have two Welsh Corgis, small dogs with lots of energy. I love local, healthy food and am looking forward to hosting.



This is a beautiful panorama shot of the top of Mt. Ellen (Sugarbush North) to show my love of skiing/riding.

Hello everyone-

This is Peter Lynch, Director of Green Across the Pacific.

I am really excited to welcome you to this year's exchange. After you introduce yourselves to each other, we will begin focusing on food and food systems. Please post photographs with brief description of a breakfast, lunch and dinner that you have enjoyed recently with your brief explanations and comments.

During the next several weeks, you will engage in a dialogue about food, food sources and culture through this blog. Here are some prompts that you can respond to to begin the conversation.

-Make a list of 8-10 different food items that are grown or produced within your state or prefecture.
-Are there any foods that your state or prefecture is famous for? What are they?
-What is your favorite locally produced food?
-Describe a meal from your state or prefecture that has cultural, historical, community or family significance to it.
-What are some food crops that are grown within your state or prefecture?
-What are some fish and animal products from your state or prefecture?
-Is there a food item that is not produced locally that you would like to see grown or produced in your state or prefecture?
-Is there a food item that you like that cannot be produced in your state or prefecture? Where does it come from and how is it transported to your state or prefecture?

Self Introduction -- Hiraga Katsumi

Hello, I'm Hiraga Katsumi in Tottori.
I'll participate in the Tottori-Vermont Exchange in March, 2012.
I hope to see you soon.

I'm a 17 year-old boy.  I have interests for many things.
My school is Yonago National College of Technology.  I'm in the 11th grade of my school.
I live in the dormitory of my sxhool, so I'll show you not only Japanese lives, but also a DORMITORY life.

This is the first time I go abroad, so I'm very excited to see foreign lives.
Soon I'll upload my photo onto this blog, so please be patient!

I'm sorry that I am able to access the Internet on only Thursdays and Sundays, not everyday.
I may be able to post only few times.  When I can, I'd like to post as much as I can.

Thank you in advance!  Let's enjoy it together!
