Forget the Past

So Japan has officially switched over to digital TV completely making my current tiny box in my apartment a giant heavy paper-weight.

My company has refused to upgrade or buy a set-top box for us so the only option I have will require me to fork out money from my own personal pocket *boo*

On the plus Japan does come up with the cutest mascots to promote everything.
This is the one for digital TV:



So far it doing fine - but everytime I think about it it reminds me of a particular episode of the simpsons.



It's alright I still have alcohol so I wont be at the "Homer" stage!

JLPT

So just a quick run-down! The exam was very straight-forward with not too many surprises. I guess my biggest shock was the 7 other people sitting in the room with me - I thought there would have been more judging from the large number of people gathered at the exam site!

They are very on time - no delays and watches synced together. Be sure to pack food - I made a bento (box lunch) and had fruits all ready in my bag with plenty of fluids.

Time went so fast for me in the grammar section (which was my weakest point) but in order to pass the exam, you have to pass each section as well. Fingers crossed!

Results should be made available in September!

Time to start on N4~

Nagano

Big gaps in my blog posts - but went into lockdown for my JLPT then catching up on life right after haha

Well a week before the exam I was invited to join our company's sales team on their annual retreat. This year they drove up to Nagano. It was on of the best experiences I had so far and was able to meet the people responsible for all my upcoming new classes.

The weather was beautiful - the heat without the humidity and was able to fish, cook for the masses, drink and play with fireworks!











I felt very grateful to have been invited along and gained an insight into the sales team!
