Only in Japan?! The night before the JLPT test, I ventured to the convenience store to buy some back-up pencils, in case the husband’s mechanical pencil got jammed. It didn’t, but you can never be too prepared. I was so entertained to learn that Mitsubishi, one of Japan’s largest corporations, the manufacturer of nuke plants, weapons, and elevators, also makes pencils. I guess the world will always need pencils.

Good luck with the test. What level are you doing?
Btw your writing is very neat š
Thanks, Kathryn. I took Level 3, which in the new system is mid-level. It was a challenge for me, so I am not sure if I can pass. Will keep studying because I really want to speak better and be able to read and write some basic stuff.
Good luck with that!!! š
I love how you always seem to find such nichey things as this.
I also took a test in Taiwan and failed it.
Better luck next time I suppose.
Oh, and I just wrote a little bit about the anthropology conference. It might be of interest to you but don’t expect too much from my post… it’s more just like my own opinions and such, not really helpful.
Thanks, Marius. I hope you enjoy the summer. You have a lot to look forward to this fall. You will love it, I am sure!
