Did not do well with the time lol

Nice job! It's really stressful, isn't it? I can't stop doing these tests when it's slow at work and I get so worked up.

I might have tried it many times before being able to get there xD

Try as many times as you'd like! It's a really hard test, especially when you're not familiar with the prefectures!

That was difficult 

Geography class has finally come in handy!!

I know I want to visit Fukuoka from a youtuber I follow. I also want to visit  Chiba, well because Mamoru lol.
