Get the Study Head back on again

I met my Japanese teacher today for coffee and although I haven't studied Japanese for a few years let alone practiced it I'm going to sit the Japanese Language Proficiency Test in December of this year if they decide to hold it in Ireland. Students normally have to travel to the UK, France or Germany to sit the exam so it would be a huge bonus if they held exams here in Ireland. They do say that learning another language is the best way to keep the brain active. So for all you out there who feel the need to get your study on this is what it involves JLPT. Well with all this free time we now have due to the CEC(current economic conditions) why not study Japanese! Think of all the money you could make just designing tatoo's.
