Saturday got off to a meh start. When Ravil showed up to help me with my suitcases, we realized that the big ones were much too heavy. So we just took the little one to th post office put and sent that ones. Four forms! She packed the suitcase in a box. Did I want it to go by land or air? What’s the difference in delivery time? None. What’s the difference in price? Land is cheaper. We’re going with land. And, to u know what? They’ll probably stick it on an airplane anyway. So, now I’ll have to repack the big suitcases and put some of the stuff in a box. The suitcases have to be put in sacks that are used to dispose of construction rubble. Yup!
Ok, we got that taken care of and Paul met us there. Then we walked down to the restaurant where Claudia, Kirsten, Anna and Sonia met us. It was a good meal and lots of fun to have a big group together.
After lunch Sonia headed off to a flamenco performance and I went with Claudia and Kirsten to the anime convention. The daughter of Claudia’s friend Kathrin participated in these conventions. When we got there, the first thing I associated with it was the guys on The Big Bang Theory going to Comicon. Here were a bunch of 20-30 year-olds dressed up as their favorite anime characters. I don’t know much about anime, but I did recognize the name Sailor Moon. It is group structured and everyone in the group has a specific anime role. The groups performed on stage and otherwise just walked around and took pictures with other anime characters. They also had a room where people were playing video games and some people were dressed in those characters.
It’s not something I would attend regularly, but it was really interesting to see how these things work and how people become socialized in the system.
