Simon and Martina recently encountered a real life Aegyo (a really cute, and shy girl) in Japan. It got them thinking about how media changes people's idea of certain cultures. The girl reminded them of chracters in Anime, and they don't know if it's real-life Aegyo that comes first, or the media representing that character and then people act like what they see on TV shows. A chicken and egg scenario - what comes first. What. Is. Real!? It happens with all cultures; like thinking people from America are cheerleaders, or wear cowboy boots because of what is portrayed in the movies.
