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

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.

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.

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."

In other words you won't see three faker ass geisha that speak Engrish with Chinese accents.....

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

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

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.


*Must breed with Japanese girls to have blue eyed kids*
