Tokyo CGM 6: At Office COSPA

CGM Night 6  001

This time around, CGM (Consumer Generated Media) Night was held over at COSPA‘s headquarters in Shibuya. COSPA’s the number 1 Japanese manufacturer and brand to go to for cosplay necessities. Except for the occasional tux and some particular t-shirts, I don’t cosplay at all. ^^.

Do you? If you don’t and would like to get into character once just for the experience, who would you be? Optimus Prime?

My PhD Graduation

phd grad 1

Was a little late for the general ceremony in the main hall. The President of the University gave us all an inspiring commencement address before we were all sent to our respective graduation ceremonies.

Graduations for every school within the university are held on a single day in Japan. Back in UNSW where I did my bachelors, different schools held their graduations on different days. What is it like for you?

Tokyo CGM 5: 5 shots

CGM Night Episode 5 - 034

Episode 5. So, there’s only going to be 5 photos about episode 5. If you didn’t already know, the super saiya over there next to dark Jedi Danny is Patrick Galbraith who authored the Otaku Encyclopedia. Really like his nickname. GaiGokuJin (外悟空人). Really smart play of words… or kanji.

This was also the first event where I finally felt up both G1 and G2 android phones. ^^.
