Name: Inque987 irl: Marie/Nikkee
Location: East Coast (USA)
Why do you love Japan: Ever since I was 5, when I started watching anime, I was just completely fascinated. At first it was the whole anime thing, but when I got a hold of a computer I just looked up anything and everything about Japan. Their history is amazing and even moreso that Japanese people still have their old traditions that they follow.
Ever been to Japan, if so where: No, not yet, at least.
Interests: I definitely like anime, but I also like reading, learning new languages (ish also currently learning Hebrew and Greek whee ), old ways of fighting techniques. I'm fascinated with weapons, which is why I'm currently trying to get a job, however, I do have a sai, double-bladed sword and a dagger. I also like sleeping and my peace and quiet. I'm also obsessed with history, more specifically mythology and the ways back then. And...I love the Matrix Trilogy sweatdrop
Other Gaian Hang Outs: Welcome to Gaia, Entertainment Discussion, GD, Books subforum
Other Online Hang Outs: Xanga, fanfiction.net, neopets
Personality: Most of the time I'm a cynicla, cold-hearted, sarcastic biznatch, but I really don't care. However, there are times that I'm all...err, normal? I guess you could say. Uhh...I don't know what else to say about my personality sweatdrop
Any other Additional Info: I'm in the marching band colorguard and will be leaving my parents house when I turn 18... 3nodding

Name: Tina
Location: Laval, Quebec, Canada
Why do you love Japan: I love the culture and many other things about Japan. I did many projects on these countries and I learned a lot, like their principle dishes to tourist attractions. I'd like to visit this country and gain a new experience. And I really want to see the fashion they have there at Japan. I'll go on a shopping spree. ^_^
Ever been to Japan, if so where: Hmm... Never set foot out of Canada. sweatdrop
Interests: bubble tea, chinatown, anime/manga, shopping, drawing, learning more about other languages, arcades, RPG games, air hockey, DDR, soccer table, traveling
Other Gaian Hang Outs: French guild, Canadian guild, asian guild, filipino guild, Gaian artist guild, kool kitsune guild, La guilde des habs (Quebec)
Other Online Hang Outs: fanfiction.net
Personality: From a stranger's point of view, I'd look shy. (I try not to be) But once I warm up around a person I don't know I can be very sociable and annoy the hell out of the person. I'm usually demanding but only towards my brother. Even so, I believe that I have good morals. I'm sensitive and can cry easily, but not too easily. I enjoy a good romantic movie or manga. My greatest flaw is that I'm lazy xp My friends always comes to me for advice which I find perfectly normal.
Any other Additional Info: I can speak french! blaugh But not so well since my parents came to Canada as immigrants and couldn't speak French to save their lives. When I was younger about like a few months ago, I wanted to become a manga artist. But now I have a new ambition, I'd like to become a fashion designer. This I am taking seriously. :3 Anyways, I think that's all.
