Can someone send me the audio and the answers of the listenings of 2007 and 2008?
Onegaishimasu H___H
I was wondering if someone is going to take JLPT4 this december?
I can't go to classes, so my only way is to study at home...
Anyone knows where I can find JLPT4 exams with the answers? ^^;
I found some samples of exams, but I don't have the answers T.T
Or the transcript of the listening?
Is someone studying with this Minna no Nihongo books?
I am doing exercices with this book, but I want to check if my exercices are correct.
I am not sure if this book has the solutions, or it's in another book of Minna collection...
But I really need to check if I am doing well... Self study is hard T.T
After a break in our 5 days in Kyoto going to Nara and Fushimi-Inari, we went to the North-East of Kyoto and we enjoyed our first Japanese Matsuri: Daimonji ^_^

( Shimogamo Shrine, Ginkaku-ji,... )
◇ Check my Archive Index of my Japan Trip
Shimogamo shrine
Shimogamo Shrine is one of the oldest shrines in Japan and is a World Heritage too. Shimogamo Shrine is half of a pair of shrines. The other half is Kamigamo Shrine. It's a Shinto sanctuary complex near the Kamo River in the northeast of Kyoto.
You can see that it was so huge, the sun was killing us, there was any shadow! xD



We arrived at Nara at +9am and we went to the tourist office, we asked for a map and we were surprised that they gave the map in our language! The station is close to the Nara Park, and we started our visit to Nara there ^__^

Nara Park
In Nara you can find a lot of Sika deers with a diet based on biscuits and maps. You can see how there are many people behind some deer because the beer is gobbled down their map xD


Tōdai-ji (東大寺)
All the surroundings of the temple was full of Sika deer free that mingled with the people who were going to visit the temple. The building was huge, it's the largest wooden building in the world and it houses the world's largest statue of Buddha. This temple is also listed in UNESO World Heritage.

2nd day in Kyoto we visited the Northwest of Kyoto.
Morning: We were going to visit Kinkaku-ji, Ryoan-ji, Ninna-ji
Afternoon: We were going to Arashiyama for Tenryuji Temple and the Kyoto J-shop.

We got up little bit more late because we didn't had to take a shinkansen. We took the bus to go to the Northwest of Kyoto ^_^ It was a cloudy day, but it was still so hot...
Kinkaku-ji 「金閣寺」
Kinkaku-ji, the Golden Pavilion. You only can visit the garden, but the main point is the pavilion and its reflection on the lake ^_^
( what one has is all one needs )
Keep reading in livejournal, the post is too large to post because I posted photos ^^;
Hi minna,
I never could find the time to finish to write about my trip to Japan.
I am thinking to start posting about Japan again ^__^
This will be an archive about the entries I wrote already.
It's only an introduction and the first 2 days.
But everyday there was so special.
Today, it makes 2 years of my first day in Japan... T__T

7th July, today is Tanabata, the japanese star festival! ^_^
Tanabata is celebrated on July 7. It originated from an old Chinese legend involving two stars – Vega, the Weaver Star, and Altair, the Cowherd Star. They were passionately in love, but the god did not like this, and separated them, only allowing them to meet each other in the Milky Way on the night of July 7. Praying for their happy reunion, people decorate branches of bamboo with strips of paper, on which poems and proverbs are written. However, lately, many people may write their own wishes on the strips of paper for their happiness.
I decorated my bamboo with my family wishes strips of paper ^_^

This year, I can feel the atmosphere of this festival thanks to Tegomasu new single!
I made a post about Tanabata Matsuri PV here.
