And how many of us live in Penang and give a flying fu-k again?
I really feel sorry for Japan where 99% of the foriengers will pay attention to its traditional culture and traditions ONLY after being exposed to its pop culture. Poor Japanese.

And dressing up as your favorite anime/manga/videogame character is definite proof you have mental issues.
Bye.

isn't penang somewhere in SEAsia?

Yeah, just looked it up on Wikipedia, its a state in Malaysia.

oh joy, a gathering of japanophiles

^Took the words right out of my mouth.

This is merely a fu-king spam thread, how about closing it?

There seems to be a lot these kinda events around SE Asia.

You betcha.....
Oh just admit it, lots of SE Asian love Japan. But in recent years we start to love Korea too.
Two years ago there's a big Jakarta Matsuri celebration in Jakarta, Indonesia.
The event almost the same as the one that Penang have.

Japanese and Indonesian helding Jakarta's Omikoshi (portable wooden temple) along the field in Senayan and later in National Monument.
Japanese food fest: onigiri, sushi, and takkoyaki.
Taiko (Japanese drum) performance, Japanese Anime and Manga exhibition.
Manga drawing class, Cosplay, Ikebana, Paper doll, etc.
Japanophile everywhere....
Oh yes...., most of Indonesian are not that vengeful over WWII issue.
