勝った! I won!

March 19, 2008 by Marie

Some time last month, I joined a contest that Evan Pike from Japan Photo Guide was sponsoring. The contest rules stipulated that for adding Japan Photo Guide, Japan Daily Photo, Blogs on Japan, or Photography of Evan Pike to your blogroll, you get raffle tickets. I’d already had Japan Photo Guide in my blogroll but I added Japan Daily Photo, giving me two tickets.

Just yesterday, I found out that I won! I wasn’t really expecting to win since I do visit both sites quite a lot, as I think Evan’s photos are amazing. I had found out about his photo blogs from Japan Probe where he contributes photo posts, the Japan Photo of the Week. Before writing this post, I received an email from both Paypal and Evan that $50 was credited to my account! Thank you, Evan!

Congratulations.
I was disappointed not to win, but I’ve found a new blog instead. I like your photos and stories.
It looks like you have some excellent links on Learning Japanese, I’ll be investigating those.

Hi Jon Allen! Thanks for visiting!

I’m glad you like my blog. I’ll check yours out, too! Do you also study Japanese?

Thank you H.T!

I hadn’t thought about it yet! It’d probably go to my Hanami fund as Hanami season is just around the corner…

Thanks, again!

Yes. I am plannng to learn Japanese. I moved here 6 months ago, so I really need to start soon.
It was my New Year’s resolution, but I’ve still not started lessons.
I’ve got plenty of excuses, but I keep procrastinating.
Thanks for the link to my blog.

Hi Jon!

I study Japanese on and off, too. It took me five years before taking on the JLPT 2nd level. But that’s okay. Sometimes I just pick expressions and stuff up from other people, and sometimes I just watch Japanese TV.

Good luck with your studies and I’ll be checking your blog out more!
