Random Saturday
I am enjoying my blog in Japanese as well as English. I am glad I have something that reinvigorated my Japanese Study. I picked up a couple of good study tools this week focused on reading and listening skills. I am going to take the official Japanese Language Proficiency Exam on December 4th. I think I will take level N3 but haven't decided which level for sure. If anyone else is studying along on this site I would love to hear from you, drop me a line. Also if you are a native Japanese speaker, please feel free to drop me a mail to correct any mistakes you see in my Japanese. Today is Random Saturday, as I was cleaning up my Lightroom a bit today and had a lot of photos still to post... starting with The Star Lounge in Shibuya.
今日はランダム土曜日です。Lightroomをそうじしました。たくさんしゃしんがあります。
Today’s configuration: Today I shot my Leica M9 and I shot all of my lens: Summilux 21mm f/1.4, Summilux 35mm f/1.4, Noctilux 50mm f/0.95. I also shot my Canon 5DMKII with a 24-70 f/2.8.

I have a business trip to Hong Kong next week, starting on Tuesday. Last time I went to Kong Kong I ate at Ruth Chris. God I love this place. Steak dipped in butter...it doesn't get much better. I usually skip lunch the day of and breakfast the day after to fit this all in.
らいしゅうの火曜日からホンコンへしゅっちょうに行きます。前回ホンコンにいったときこのばしょでたべました。すごいおいしかったです。
