JLPT Level 3

まさか！３級を合格した。。。66％。だけ、でもびっくりした！

I really don't believe it! I passed JLPT 3! Only 66%, but I'm still surprised! I really didn't expect to pass this one because I wasn't ready for it.

Unseasonally warm!

Rather warm today (23C)...! Top temperatures due to come down to a more usual 8C with a minimum of 1C by Tuesday. They were talking about it being like June/July weather in many parts of Japan. But without the humidity, so it's nice!

Shame I had to work!

越谷レークタウン Koshigaya Laketown

今日、寒いが晴天だ。越谷レークタウンでウインドーショッピングに行くと決めた。あのショッピングモールがすごく大きい。富士山を全く明らかに見えた。

It was a beautiful but cold day today and I decided to go window shopping at the new Koshigaya Laketown Mall. If you zoom in on the photo, you'll see that I could see Mount Fuji clearly.
