That's Sempai Smart-Ass for you!

Schooling: 20€
Dan Testing: 50€
Registration in the JKA scroll in Tôkyô: 80€
Shiny new silk black belt: 80€
Passing & surviving: PRICELESS

But honestly... 80€... Sensei must be out of his mind... that would make that stupid long piece of black silk the third most expensive piece of clothing I own! For heaven's sake! What's wrong with them good old cotton belts (15 DM, back then)? 80€ for 4x280cm² of fabric!

I'm totally drained, everything hurts and my head is swimming. But I did it! I did it! Watashi wa hero desu!

*bounces*
*breaks down*


I'm never gonna do this again. At least not until the Nidan testing in two years...
