Long distance interaction

We visited Japan recently (from Australia) to introduce our son to his grandparents. Ojiichan & Obaachan (grandfather and grandmother) were over the moon to spend time with their grandchild, but 3 weeks was all of the time that we could afford. Regular visits to Japan are not only prohibatively expensive, but have a massive impact on the environment. I set up a video camera and microphone for the grandparents so that our son could still interact with his extended family without the huge costs involved. Richard Telford
