edit: maybe Jin will show up with his 14 yr girlfriend since it's in L.A. :hehe:

If he does, he'll be mobbed by lots of fangirls. Maybe one of them can do us a favor and put super glue in his green tea.

I wish they would put something like this on in Australia :( :(

maybe on the west coast.. like perth, i heard theres a good size asian population :fingerscrossed:

Might as well be in the USA...... that's the other side of Australia from me :(

I'll have to keep an eye out........ they had Animania in Sydney recently, but I missed it... http://animania.net.au/sydneyoct

it's only today and tomorrow...i'm thinking of maybe going tomorrow...today i went to see this japanese documentary which was being shown at a different location not at the Los Angeles Convention Center where the expo is being held.

I see. It must have been nice to see a Geisha movie with Japaneses in it. :P

i love this excerpt from the Japan Expo 06 website:

"[DANCE Real-life Geisha]
Speaking of real Japan, there was a movie about Geisha called "Sayuri" or "Memoirs of Geisha" last spring from Hollywood which created some controversies about what and how Geisha really is.

At Japan Expo 2006, we are going to show you a real "Geisha" we support and is show casing a documentary movie call "Hannari, Geisha-modern" Directed and Produced by Miyuki Sohara."

yeah they said that half the young women that start out, even after a year or more of apprenticeship, end up dropping out for various reasons.

LOL

dood.....seriously...they were showing "Memoirs of Mao Zedong" on cable tv a while back...i stopped to watch a little...i could only hack it for about 2 to 3 minutes....among other things, i couldn't believe they had Zhang's character Sayuri with BLUE contacts....i was like WTF???????

yeah because there used to be lots of women in Japan with blue eyes

:rofl:

The only ones I know of were Ainu, gaijins or kogals with contacts. :hehe:

so that's where the kogals got idea from...it harkens back to ancient times as they pay tribute to traditional japanese culture......i'm sure that's exactly how they're portrayed at the Japan Expo.

1) Japanese cultural fact: Japanese women have blue eyes. That's how Scandanavians got blue eyes...by interbreeding with the Nihonjin. Take notes, kids.

I will.
