Patrick, Sara- Trip to Sendai for Japanese Test

Last weekend Sara and I went to Sendai for me to take the Japanese Language Proficiency Test. I may or may not have passed. The beginning (vocabulary) was great; the middle (listening) was ok; but the end (reading comprehension) was killer.

We didn't have a guide, but near as we can tell, Sendai is a city full of (expensive) shopping and bars. Still, we have a few interesting pictures.

Great place to buy clothes?




To get to this statue we walked a vertical mile:
