I've heard of Akihabara! It would be awesome to go to Japan (one day I hope!)

Those are pins in the pic right? They're cool, even if no one else where they are from.

That's why the internet is so great, you know. No one I know are anime/manga fans in my area, but I know quite a few people from all over the world with the same interests thanks to the internet. ^_^

i've been to akihabara once but it seem more male otaku oriented x_x there were a few things for female fans too but my friend said that ikebukuro has more female oriented manga/anime stuff. I really want to go to ikebukuro when I get to Japan this summer ^^
btw I'm so excited to have friended you. I've been looking for Japanese penpal for awhile. Like I mentioned before I'm learning japanese mainly on my own with some online classes.
^^ Hope we can chat and exchange emails or something like that :D

Why don't we chat when you have time?
I chat with Ku-san every weedend and we always have fun!

There is a street called "Otome(means girls) Road" in Ikebukuro.
Actually I don't like Ikebukuro because there are too many people and a bit dangerous compared to Akihabara.

Pls let me know your plans and schedule for the trip to Japan.
I can meet you and talk with you if you want.

If I can meet your schedule, I will be your guide and interpreter when you go to "Comic Market", the biggest Dojinshi Market in Japan.
You'll be surprised to see lots of people there.

I hope we can meet online soon!

wai! awesome ^_^
i know the time difference in japan very well since i have to work around it with my online japanese teacher ^^;
well I'm free from now till august 26 :D
I'm leaving for japan with my friend belinda on july 25 and we'll be in kyoto and osaka for a week then we return to asakusa/tokyo area for the rest of our stay . we'll leave to go back home on august 26.

According to wikipedia comiket 2007 (summer) is august 17-20.
The current convention location is the Tokyo Big Sight convention center near Ariake, Tokyo. The doors open to attendees at around 10:00 AM. Because there are large crowds, the actual time of entry into the event will more than likely be delayed. According to the event website, the next Comiket (72) will open its doors on August 17th, 2007.If you have free time we'd love for you to be our guide. can you email me your keitai(cell phone) number with area code ? I'll rent a cellphone while in japan ( ... )

I got your comment right after I replied to your comments!

I'm going to bed shortly since it's midnight in Japan.

It will be hard to take a day off on weekdays, I think I can meet and guide you on weekends after you come back from Kyoto and Osaka.
Let me check the schedule of Comiket 72. We probably need to buy a very thick and heavy catalogs for admission fee.

Sorry, I don't have a headset and microphone, so I can chat with you by text. I don't have MSN but I have AIM which was introduced by Ku-san. You can find my AIM ID in my profile page.

Mona-chan,

I'll be signing in AIM on Saturday morning around 10:00 to 11:00 in Japan time.
Please join me if you have time. Ku-san might be online, too.

I'm looking forward to meeting you, again.
