Hmm i'm not that confident about my French as to make a phone call. I mean i'd be really nervous and such. But i think that one of my friends would help me since she speaks perfect French (she stayed in Belgium for like 10 years).

But it's there only one phone call needed?

I have no idea. These people won't reply to our emails, so the only solution left is to call them. Maybe let them know this person is interested in exhibit space, and ask them if they can write back to a certain email address if they can't give an answer immediately. Though chances are they'll give a negative reply right away, since the convention is on Feb 7th.

Sounds a bit complicated. What if they ask like thousands of stuff.
When did you mail them?

I find it weird that they won't reply to your e-mails. I mean if it's too late they can at least say it.

And do they accept sellers who aren't from France? Is it something international?

This seller sent them 2 emails before me, then I sent an email in early december, then again a few days ago. I have no idea why they aren't answering.

Yeah, I know the possibility might be there, and I myself wouldn't be able to tell them much. Only what little I know of this seller.

I don't know if they accept sellers from outside Japan. This is a point I never considered. I took it for granted they did, seeing as it's a manga/anime thing ^_^;; I guess I should check the site.

They say they still have available stands.
But i'm not really sure they accept foreigners. Others than the Japanese artists. Coz i suppose that the booksellers and such are French.

There's also that "bulletin d'inscription". Maybe you should try and send that out? It would take 3 days to arrive if you were to send it by fast mail.

wow you checked the website !!! m(_ _)m

I've only been to the convention near my town, and they always have so many foreigner sellers, that I took it for granted. I'll try to see that application thing. Thanks ^__^

More like i took a glimpse of the website ^^;;

The only conventions around here are made by dedicated... fans (who try their best to get the sponsors though!) for fans. LOL. X___X

Really? So weird. I thought it was easier for things like this to take place over there... I don't know why I had this image. Isn't Japanese culture widespread in Romania?

But it's pretty awesome of fans to do that ^__^

Hmmm it's not widespread at all in my opinion. But then again i don't know how it is in other countries others than France or Germany.

The things that take place here, Japan related, are all thanks to the Embassy, to the few Japanese people that are in Romania and are trying to spread the Japanese culture and.. all thanks to the fans like i said above.

Well i believe that years ago it was a tragedy lol. Now at least there's something going on into the right direction.
But still these people focus on anime and manga and j-rock.
