(Tokyo, Japan) This man was entertaining students in the park with his anime-ish antics.

I followed Linda to attend an anime club today to take a break from the intense routine of 7am to 12 midnight 7 days a week work schedule which I set for myself. (Note however that work is a misnomer since aside from the clubs and research that I am involved in, I have a lot of dinner meetings with friends and attend a lot of enrichment talks such as the one on Contemporary North Korea.)

Initially, I had my misgivings about attending the meet, considering that my only anime exposure was through Pin (who is not so far away at Columbia). Well, the people were as expected really into anime. The number of anime puns flying around was crazy (with me and even Linda being unable to understand most of them). However, I was glad I went as the geek culture is fun to indulge in at times. The people were innocent in their interests. No positions to jockey for. Just food, interesting anime and friendly banter! I will be going back for more…

Oh, and did I mentioned the bashful admission by three guys at the meet that their favorite anime was Sailormoon?
