Ski……Japan

Sunday, December 31st, 2006

So i’m in Niseko working for Ski Japan.

Trying to come to terms with the ozness of Niseko. Slowly re acclimatising.

Some days im up at 6:30 am and work until 1 the next morning. It’s full on, but an awesome experience to work in a ski town. Yesterday for about the second time it dumped snow and today I spent a great day on the mountain up to my knees in powder.

And in other news, I may have my next web client……maybe..

JLPT 3

Sunday, December 3rd, 2006

This morning I woke around 6 pm. Showered, snacked, got my things together and headed to Hokkaido University to sit the Japanese Language Proficiency Test. It had been dumping snow all night. I was up to my ankles in it. Chilly. As I emerged from the subway there were guides directing people through the university to the test site. I sat the level 3 test, advanced beginner level. The test site was full of all kinds of people living and studying in Japan.

Pass or Fail? Pass or Fail? Not sure yet. Maybe Ill just scrape through on the lower end of things. Wasn’t to bad. Strong in some parts, a little weak on the Kanji?s. Awesome experience, Level 2 next year? Hmmmmmm?no thanks.
