Can we still walk together?

Hi!
As you might have seen, "Another official race" has ended. Weirdly or not, it is sad for me because I enjoyed posting my reviews and sharing my progress and thoughts. As a common motivational quote states, “The journey is more important than the destination.” The Race gave me a sense of purpose in doing more reviews daily, so I want to open a new space to walk together through this Japanese adventure. It is not a race because we don’t run anywhere, just a chill walking around the universe and appreciating the view (景色が綺麗).

All the rules: (Click to expand)
  • We are adding our learning our learning progress to the one big number which symbolizes the distance we covered in meters.
  • 1 Review (Bunpro, Wanikani, Flash card, Anki and all the other means review counts) = 1 Meter.
  • New pice of content learned = 2 Meters.
  • Each reading passage/short article/book page/duolingo = 5 Meters.
  • Manga page = 2 Meters per page.
  • Longer reading sessions/Intensive other learning method = 3 Meters per minute.
  • Active Imersion = 2 Meters per minute.
  • Goal = ∞ Meters.
  • Everyone is welcomed.
Questions I think you want to ask:
  • Isn’t it to late to join? = Don’t be silly, come on in!
  • What If I misscalculate? = If you messup the addition - Some hero will correct you an we all will be happy. If you cheat your score - shame on you, we cannot confirm that.
  • What about a badge? = It’s confirmed that we will get the badge when we reach ∞!

I know that walking to infinity can be exhausting, so that we have planned check point :grin:. It is located somewhere on the moon. It is only 384,400,000 reviews from here, and when we reach it we will… shout hurray and keep on walking.

Let me start;
0 + 59 = 59
Only ∞ more to go. (^▽^)

Hop right in; you can crawl, swim, and ride a bike as long as you enjoy the activity.

They do say daily walks are good for your mind and body. I bet doing it with good company would make it all the more enjoyable! :walking_woman:t3: :walking_man:t2: :walking_woman:t2: :walking_man:t2:

If it looks tasty, I worry for a mango in areas of Japan where there are no restaurants :mango::sob:

And wait … why is someone bringing a big metal pot with みそ and seasoning? :scream::rabbit2:

Maybe this will be the motivation I need to continue reading 君と宇宙を歩く為に manga too.

Just one more for me today as I’m on a transit from my parents’ hometown to the city again! Woohoo!


577 + 1 (review) = 578

578 + 62 reviews + 8 from NHK = 648

This will encourage me to keep checking out NHK and more books on Natively! I was wondering what my next motivation was going to be. :J

I said I wanted to sit a while but then I ended up walking way more than I have this week in general. I should have another good walking day tomorrow too. >:)
