How are they “never ending” There are only 6 real anime conventions in Australia, and most of them are in the second half of the year. Just go get a job somewhere, work your ass off for the first 6 months of the year and you’ll have more then enough to go to all the conventions.

If you think Australia has a "never ending cycle of anime conventions", then just go spend a month in the US. They have more conventions over there in 2 weeks then we have all year.
