Sorry! Actually I already posted in the Japan forum and forgot about my introduction, so here it is!
I'm Australian, but I've had an interest in Japanese culture ever since I can remember... I guess it's the influence of living in such a multicultural country (and I attended a primary school that expat children also attended, many from Japan). I've been learning Japanese for a while too, and now I study it at uni... with the hope of becoming an interpreter one day. I like or have had a previous interest in many aspects of Japan...
When I was around 14, 15, I loved anime and manga, although I've now lost my interest in it for the most part... I also used to play video games, particularly final fantasy... and I still would except now I don't have a TV, so it's become a little impossible!
Now my daily interests include stuff like J-pop and J-rock... and I chat with my Japanese friends online, which helps my kanji (they all went back to Japan ) and I sometimes watch Japanese dramas and movies... and of course I love Japanese food, especially an pan and melon pan! Soooo yummy!! Also curry rice!! Currently the only thing I can eat though is melon pan because I can't afford anything else such is the life of a student... Once a week I splurge on takoyaki even though it costs $7AUD. my food budget is $6 a day so I have to save up beforehand hehe I could buy much more food if I wanted, but I'm saving up for Japan... Must save!!!! Anyway, nice to meet you all! I hope we can all get along well
