and my fondness (maybe too much) for anime/manga people in all their unrealistic glory. what a dork i am.....
honestly, who DOESNT think thats cute? かわいいですねえ〜！はじめまして。
in general, わたしわ日本ごがすきです
but the academic/career reason would be because わたしのせんもんわかんこくと日本art history(れいしゃい）。Interestingly enough I got into art history at my old college but I didnt want to pursue Korean and Japanese art history till I studied abroad in Korea last year. I then cultivated an (re)interest in korean pop culture and japanese pop culture. exciting no? and I have the basis for korean (i just need to polish it) but I thought it might be a good idea to learn the language of the country I might go for art and such....
and so, I actually am an avid reader of manga (I know, what a dork!) but ever since I first watched anime such as Evangelion and (god forbid) Sailormoon I fell in love with the Japanese pop culture and language. Since then, I have a passion for japan in general. it also helps that I have friends who I met while in korea who are japanese. ^.^ 日本ごがすきです！so hopefully I will end up in Japan or Korea after I graduate from Smith. who knows.....
