			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Saturday, I went to Animania, an Australian festival celebrating Japanese pop culture.</p>
<p>It was held in one of the big hotels in Melbourne.  There were lots of people dressed up in costumes from Japanese animation and computer games.</p>
<p>They had a quiz on anime, there was a chess game where people in costume were used as the chess pieces and a room to play computer games.</p>
<p>The festival wasn&#8217;t nearly as big as some of the events I went to in Japan, such as the Tokyo Computer Game Show, but it was still interesting to see that lots of people in Australia are interested in Japanese popular culture.</p>
