Fluent in Japanese.

Roadblock: Day has 24 hours. Need 27.

I blew past the JLPT 2 last year, so this year it's just a matter of finding the time to work on it every day.

Would list my marathon training, but that's too popular as-is. ;p Farthest run has been ten miles so far; I'll get there...



It's time to move to Japan, if you don't live there already. It's the closest you'll get to studying 27 hours a day, and the only sure path to fluency, given the level you're at.


I'm writing this from my tiny apartment in Saitama. :)


Speaking of which, I'm hoping to visit my friend in Singapore in Sept or October, mind if I swing by and crash in your hallway or something? (or meet in Tokyo and show me around? :)


My apartment does have a hallway, in addition to a bedroom and a kitchen. Unfortunately, they're all the same room.

I'd have more space if this place said 'Adidas' on the side.

That said, of course I'll meet you up in Tokyo and show you the city! As long as I'm in-country, of course; I'll be back in the US for August, and I'm not sure where I'll be for October and December.


Oh man if you're going to be in town in August, why don't you plan on crashing at my place for a weekend? I think you'd get along well with my new roommate, and if the timing is right a few other engineers will be in town hanging out as well.
