Japanese is taking over my life.

We have been spending all of our free time these past three weeks studying. Yesterday was the JLPT test. It's the most well known and recognized test of Japanese Language Proficiency. It's only offered once a year so we wanted to spend tons of time preparing and getting ready. All of it paid off because we both got passing scores with a pretty big margin on the practice test.

Unfortunately, we won't know if we could have passed the test because we didn't take this years test. We got the test location wrong and then spent the next hour running through Nagoya, racing to catch trains to get to the test site. But it was all in vain. We didn't have enough time to get there before it started. And we couldn't pass the test without taking the first section.

But we did do a bit of sightseeing in Nagoya. Rob took tons of pictures with our new camera. We'll try and get those posted this week.
