I am with Ninnin now, a work-in-progress robot that has a lot of practice applications. I’ll be using it as a translator assistant for travel but this little Ninja can also help those with hearing, visual and speech impairments. I wanted to live stream FROM the robot but I think the camera isn’t HD and ready for the yet. What’s also cool is that we will be in INO, KOCHI, a beautiful small town in Shikoku. See you at 11:00am JST ^_^ -John

OMG! What a fun way of learning about the small town of Shikoku! From the absolutely adorable ninja Ninnin perched on John’s shoulder and voiced by Paul, to your amazing street guide. Not only was this fun to watch, but educational as well as entertaining. Thank you John for sharing this with us!
