Back to the Waikiki beach for a quick dive before flying out.

I walked along the famous beach of Waikiki.

Even though they're not autochthonous, these giant banyan tree are the most impressive vegetation I've seen so far in #Hawaii

This is my first time in Honolulu...

Arriving at O'ahu...

I hate dealing with Italian banks...

I found a rare Italian beer from South Tyrol 😋

Uh? This Pixel Magic Illumination thing just appeared on Google Maps...

I'm headed to Kokushikan University to take the JLPT N3 test which I alreasy failed last summer. 😥

This time I'm more prepared, but still have a low chance of passing, knowing only ~420 of the 650 kanji present in this test. Last time, I also wasn't able to read the questions fast enough to answer all of them within the time limit. My reading speed should have improved slightly, but I'm still very slow.

@benoit I'm essentially going to the exam knowing barely 400 of the ~650 kanji needed for N3.

(JLPT no longer publishes an official list of kanji present in each level, so all lists are guesswork based on past exams).

Desperately cramming through new kanji and vocab at 4 days from the exam 😰

I love this hotel...

Most explicit toilet sign I've ever seen 🤭

The Jewel of Changi airport is really something worth seeing. If you're flying out of #Singapore, try to arrive a bit early and take a small detour from T3 before security check.
