Hurrah!!
I passed the Japanese Language Proficiency Test Level 4 (yon kyuu), which virtually makes me a Japanese citizen. Well, not really. But it means I can order a beer and complain about the weather to a good standard.
The 60% pass mark was, in the end, cleared with room to spare, and one might say with style and finess too. I got 77% overall, and was really happy to get 80% in the long and arduous "reading/grammar" section.
Now all I have to do is reap the adulation that will hopefully ensue when I go into work tomorrow.
NB: If you want more than adulation in Japan, the best thing to do is to get married. Japanese custom obliges that each guest brings san-man-en (£150) in a white envelope to the wedding. Plus if your a JET you get an extra 5 days paid holiday. Now there's a thought...

Get married, huh? Hmmm. I might just have to do that!
And on that JLPT thing, umm. I only got 34%, so I failed. Of course, that is Level 3, mind you.
