The results for the 日本語能力試験, more commonly known as JLPT 2008, should be getting in everyone's mailbox in the imminently and it shows:

big jump in stats

Visits to my blog post of receiving the results last year have been spiking in the past week.

Good news: a colleague of mine got it in the mail this morning before coming to work, so most people in Japan should have it tonight or tomorrow.

Bad news: the people at the JLPT organization are mail nazis (not delivering the papers if your name is not on your mailbox, imposing crazy processes to let them know you changed address) and since I moved just before taking the test there is a pretty good chance that I will never receive the damn results.

Surf or Study

Sunday December 2nd is for many of us in Japan the dreaded day of 日本語能力試験 - also known as JLPT or Japanese Language Proficiency Test. But this weekend is also the start of what looks like the best ski season I've seen since I've come to Japan.

Kagura ski resort or Kanji?

Trying out my new snowboard gear on 130cm of snow in Kagura or studying for the ２級. It's a tough call...
