Forgot to thank you for this Sonoshee!

I really appreciate the help.

judging by the thanks and approval that your post has acquired, it seems pretty clear that the shenmue community is behind you in this endeavor. However until you speak with Yu Suzuki directly its difficult to know the shape of the future and how all this will all turn out. My personal opinion is t...

Thank you everyone for the kind words. We have received an unimaginable amount of press over this. Most good, some bad. There are some places that seem to think we took food from the mouths of the kids and gave the money instead to the game. http://n4g.com/news/1754367/chinese-school-for-underprivil...

Thanks everyone. It would be great to see a small school in one of the villages but I'm not having any expectations for what Yu would do. I don't want to make an assumption that we deserve special treatment simply because we gave money.. I'll ask him for these favors and if he says no that will be t...

http://i.imgur.com/PZDaNhg.jpg Hey everyone, my brother and I decided to contribute $20,000 for the making of Shenmue III. We spent many hours thinking about whether this is a good or bad decision. We spent $10,000 in 2012 to get our school off the ground and that went a long way. Because of our in...

Really happy for you Peter. I'm disappointed you won't be joining us in Japan though. It would have been fun to visit Yokosuka bars together and pick fights with sailors. I'm not sure how LanDC feels but I have a little bit of a bittersweet feeling of once having an exclusive dinner with Yu to now b...

Cedric Biscay replied to me on Twitter and is going to check if an extra space can be made for me! He also retweeted the message! Fingers crossed, the dream still has hope! Peter, I think we need to make it clear to them that the other 3 donators want you there. They may worry legally that if they ...

We have been getting some backlash in China. Somebody here has published my post and it got sent to China and in the translation it was written that we were implying that local kids in Yangshuo are poor. We teach children from all over China and not all of them are impoverished. Yangshuo is not a po...

This is also an investment. My brother and I are 2nd in command at this school and we are getting larger every year. The owner is getting older and we plan to take over the school full time. We would love to design it around Shenmue and have members of the Dojo come teach English and live our their...

I feel guilty now, Peter... I feel like I need to explain who I am now.. I'm not a casual Shenmue fan. My brother and I are 35. We are identical twins and we help lead a school just outside Guilin in Yangshou where we teach poor kids English in helping them get scholarships to achieve better educati...

GUESS WHAT!!!

Done. $6 donation, Yu. Don't spend it all in one place! Kidding. Only $6 :king: ? Haha, shame you missed the 10k again dude, it opened for about 2 minutes. Nah, I put in more than that but if there is a $1000 or $2000 option that comes up I may take it. I'm not rich but I'm willing to give to this ...

I was about to take the 10k prize..... ahhh So close. #-o At least I won't have to live on bread and water for the next 5 years. \:D/ Pledge the $10,000 anyway? ;-) :king: I haven't put up any money yet. I'm waiting for possible better rewards. You can always change your pledge, it takes literally ...
