Not easy to see in this photo, but the left and right side of this street has smoother paving – a nice and noticable difference, especially on my folding bike with smaller wheels!
I also used the famous "Cykelslangen" for the first time – a bike-exclusive bridge! It's a really nice experience.
Didn't take a photo of it, so here's one from Wikimedia Commons! (Jakob Munk, CC BY-SA 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cykelslangen.jpeg)
My Japanese test is over! It went about as well as I expected! :D
The vocabulary section felt harder than in the practise tests, and tested many words I simply didn't know. I ran out of time towards the end, so I had to pick some answers randomly...
Maybe also because I counted how many answers I was pretty sure of: 15 of 28 = 53%! I don't feel too bad about that.

… and when you'll travel to Japan you'll end in a pizzeria with a Neapolitan cook 🤣
The grammar & reading section went alright, and I understood many things! ✨
I think this was my best section. There also were a couple of texts I didn't have time to fully comprehend, so I took some guesses.
For listening, I think our test supervisor was more nervous that many of us – they seemed a bit worried that the audio playback would fail! But it worked just fine.
The task-based comprehension questions seemed to go okay for me, while I made many educated guesses in the "quick response" section.

The base rate for passing the N4 tests seems to be around 40%, and I think I was a bit underprepared, so I'd give myself a 1/3rd chance of passing? The other test takers I talked to afterwards seemed more confident, at least.
Results will be available at the end of January... so now I wait.
Thanks for cheering me on, everyone! :D This was fun!
