Three weeks in Japan? What the heck an I going to do?

Taiga · Post by **Taiga** » Sun Feb 24, 2008 2:30 pm

Ok, my dad said he'd take me to Japan for a while... but it depends on money. He's set me a task for now.

I need to make an itinerary of what I want to do while I'm there... and when.

-Akihabara
-Comiket

Those two are what I have so far... but i need to spread out a plan for a two-week trip and a three week one. This way I have plans for whatever comes up. It's decided that Comiket should be late in the time so that I can get the catalogue and see compare what I want from Comiket to what I want from shops (and how much money to save).

I also need to find a job.

I want your help for the first part... and possibly advice on the second.

Try the food, visit a hyaku-en, and learn how hideously boring Japanese daytime television is. And notice how (unless you look Japanese) nobody will ever EVER sit next to you on the trains.

Interviews with staff and cast of:

Haruhi
Lucky Star

Just for openers...

Heh... I doubt I'll get to visit Kyoto Animation HQ to be honest. Even if I did... my Japanese is terrible. I may get to visit the Lucky Star setting though; depends if i can persuade my friend Takashi to take me (Surely he'd be welcome visiting his old school).

Lucky! When do u start going. I'll start going around Summer

And look for a suitable job to do in the future. My goal is Production IG or Kyoto animation

Taiga · Post by **Taiga** » Wed Feb 27, 2008 1:04 pm

Dude... you done any animation before now? ...at all?

I hope to work with Kyoto Animations, myself. I have done a few simple animations before now and I plan on doing an animation course (To teach as an English teacher abroad you need a degree in ANY subject [and TEFL in most places]. I hope to do animation as a degree.) In the future.

There is lots of different job u know? not just animation

Taiga · Post by **Taiga** » Wed Feb 27, 2008 1:15 pm

So exactly what do you intend to do there? Character design? It's likely that the jobs there overlap largely.

After i take proper class first. Right now i can not even draw a good human body. So pathetic of me

Taiga · Post by **Taiga** » Wed Feb 27, 2008 3:41 pm

Heh... go look for tutorials. That'sn how I'm learning (I still have lots to improve on).

*Heaves thread back on topic*
When are you departing? I can help with a crash course in survival Japanese if you've got time.

Taiga · Post by **Taiga** » Fri Feb 29, 2008 4:11 am

If we DO go it'd be likely be a week before comiket. If we don't go in summer, we'd go for December comiket.

Please do =3

How far along are you in your study of Japanese?

Taiga · Post by **Taiga** » Fri Feb 29, 2008 5:25 pm

I can read hiragana and form some sentances. This would be much easier if my dictionary would arrive -.-

Go see the Godzilla statue. When I was over there for a few days that was pretty much my only aim outside of the YGO world championship.

Taiga · Post by **Taiga** » Tue Mar 04, 2008 6:10 am

Where is it? That would help.

Xagor · Post by **Xagor** » Tue Mar 04, 2008 8:03 am

I don't remember... You'd need to look it up. It's also not signposted at all anywhere.

Taiga · Post by **Taiga** » Tue Mar 04, 2008 8:31 am

-.-

Well that's useful of you.

Post by **Shamisen** » Thu Mar 06, 2008 7:14 pm
