London
Next week I will be in London after 5 years of absence. Will be interesting to see how Ol' Blighty has changed over the years. Looking forward to some savaloy n chips, Tescos biscuits and crumpets with hot butter.
Will be spending a lot of time at dads studio making stuff. While I did leave the fashion business to pursue my real passion in Japan, I'm still interested in the fashion biz and have maintained my shoe and accessory design and manufacture skills.
On the 13th of April 2010 from 18:00, I will be presenting at the University of London. The title of the talk is "Creative Industries in Japan: an audience with Danny Choo" - full details at the SOAS page.
I will be talking with an audience of staff and students followed by a QA session. If you want to know about working in IT/anime/figure or publishing business then you may want to come along. During the networking session, I can also answer your questions about living in Japan / looking for a job / buying or renting properties / setting up a business and so on.
You will also get to meet other like minded folks and you may even discover some interesting opportunities - bring a name card!
Light snacks and drinks will be provided for consumption during the networking session from 20:00 - 21:00.

Paris
Before my trip to London, I will be visiting the offices of Parrot - the folks who make the AR Drone. We plan to have a meetup for dannychoo.com readers on the night of the 7th which is next Wednesday. Unfortunately I don't know the location until we know how many people are coming along - need numbers to book a place.
Register here if you can make it and I'll update you through my Twitter or Facebook - will also send mail to the email address that you register.
