  More tales of telephone woe

  We get a lot of cold calls at our house here in Japan. Far more anyway than I ever did in England. On our phone, we can see what the number is and if we don’t recognise it or it’s a local number, Reiko will tell me to answer it. I”ve covered this theme before [...]

  I`m applying for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test which takes place in December 3rd. I`m going for level 3 out of 4 which is advanced Beginner. After 2 years in Japan, you`d think I`d be better than that by now but I am naturally lazy. It`s the level that one smug man who passed the [...]
