Introduce Yourself!

[kudo]

ah, it seems we're lacking an actual thread to put intros, so in order to do one myself, i attempted to make one.

Name: Kudo
Coming to you from: Canada
First Breath: July/4/198x (T_T i'm so old...[tear])
intentions and whatnot: i dunno. was randomly surfing the webs and came about here. looks cool. we'll see how things rock around. i intend to go to japan within the next year, so i'll see what i can rack up before then. ^_^ um, i'm a student right now, so i'll be going there and back periodicly when time permits. don't really have any japanese friends. the only one i know in real life...well, he coudln't say a japanese word to save my life. nevermind his. lol
why do you want to go to japan: Washing away all the anime fandom and j-pop invasion, i fell in love with this country back when i was in grade 1, oh so many years ago. then i discovered anime. lol. and had another reason to go. (honestly, i think Anime was jus made in the first place as a tourist incentive to go to japan. lol, wouldn't doubt it for a second. smart japanese. -_-; ) and my martial arts instincts are urging me to get my butt over there asap for some reason. lol. honestly, when it comes down to it, i jus feel the need to go there. when i find the real reason behind it, i'll let you in on it.
ANYways...have any questions or stuff, feel free to ask. and now...for YOUR introductions!!!!

[Shuu]

We introduce ourselves here?
Name: Shuu
Coming to you from: Australia
First Breath: May 18th, 199? (I'm not telling you the exact year.)
Intentions and whatnot: I just want to learn more about Japan, maybe makes some more Japanese friends. The only "friend" from Japan I have is a 25 year old manga artist. xD
Why do you want to go to Japan: I fell in love with this country the moment I learnt about it. In my school we were learning Japanese in Year 1, and I was inspired by the colourful and complicated language.
Then I found anime and manga.
Shuu would never be the same! So basically, I want to go to Japan to make more friends, and get a job as a manga-ka.
Favourite Manga/Anime: ...Oh no. The question of doom. I like so many anime, I couldn't possibly list them all, but my some of my firm favourites are Shaman King, Fullmetal Alchemist, Elfen Lied, Shakugan no Shana, Loveless, Jigoku Shoujo, Naruto, One Piece, Samurai Champloo, Mahou Sensei Negima, Fruits Basket, Death Note, Bleach, Karin, Black cat, and...I'll stop now.

See how boring I am? o:

My Name: Ryan

Interests: Traveling, learning new languages, studying other cultures

Hi i'm Ryan and I so happened to accidentally come across this cool looking site. I figured I could chat with people who can teach me some japanese. I know German so far, but I want to learn more languages. Japanese has always drawn a spark of interest for me, and the people are awsome. Hey hit me up and maybe I can teach you a thing or two in German.

Erm... I'm from Malaysia I like japan and i would like to learn some japanese.... and hope to meet more friends
