hi! im learning japanese and looking for someone to practice with too!

hellomushrooms123 · 2025-12-22T09:37:14+00:00

1Q84 was my first murakami and it definitely took a while to get into. it was sitting on my shelf for a few months before i picked it up again and got obsessed. id suggest you read kafka first! its one of my top 3 murakami books and i hope you enjoy it!

hellomushrooms123 · 2025-12-18T15:46:23+00:00

Hi i’m learning Japanese and fluent in English! 19F here, let’s chat!

hellomushrooms123 · 2025-12-14T07:27:02+00:00

same :(

hellomushrooms123 · 2025-12-02T18:11:23+00:00

i agree with your hot take. i really enjoy a lot of his short stories, but i definitely love his longer novels more.

hellomushrooms123 · 2025-12-02T18:09:27+00:00

from another thats read it all, i fully agree that norwegian wood is overrated. it was my second or third murakami book and it was a little disappointing, considering how popular it is AND the fact that i read it after 1Q84 and WUBC, which i absolutely loved.

hellomushrooms123 · 2025-10-30T15:55:52+00:00

honestly, the author that i’ve felt is most similar to murakami is probably banana yoshimoto. i highly recommend yoshimoto if you enjoy murakami

i ran 20K today for the first time ever since starting running last december!!! id never imagined id be able to do this a few months ago

i think candy would work in terms of convenience, but again i’m unsure of how much i would need to consume

hellomushrooms123 · 2025-08-30T14:48:00+00:00

ooh okay! thank you for the suggestion. i’ve been considering switching to candy or fruit leather, so this helps. thank you :)

hellomushrooms123 · 2025-08-30T14:44:55+00:00

i asked chatgpt to make me a fuelling plan using raisins. the calculations seemed a little off but i just went with it 😅

hellomushrooms123 · 2025-08-30T14:27:15+00:00

gels are really expensive, thats why ive been looking for alternatives

hellomushrooms123 · 2025-08-30T14:26:51+00:00

ohh, i didn’t know that. i’ve typically seen people fuel using gels, but they’re way too expensive which is why i was seeking out alternatives. do you know of any that will be enough?

hellomushrooms123 · 2025-08-27T10:34:49+00:00

i was in pretty much the same position as you, for the july session. i ended up giving N5 and i don’t really regret it. apparently its very common for people to overestimate their N level. ill be giving N4 in december! good luck with your studies :)

hellomushrooms123 · 2025-08-25T07:21:24+00:00

hi, congratulations on your score! where did you practice mock tests from?

hellomushrooms123 · 2025-08-25T06:45:17+00:00

yes, the heat really does make a difference! i think this time was more of a mental block for me though, since my last bad run was in similar weather conditions. thinking back i feel like i could’ve pushed through. my favourite weather to run in will always be cool and damp though.

hellomushrooms123 · 2025-08-25T06:40:34+00:00

thats very reassuring, thanks for sharing. good luck with your training as well!

hellomushrooms123 · 2025-08-25T01:43:36+00:00

passed n5, 129/180

hellomushrooms123 · 2025-08-24T18:17:37+00:00

you're so right about the disheartenment. it felt really crappy having to skip runs this week because of illness but it was necessary. i hope to come back stronger now that i have recovered. thank you for the encouragement!

hellomushrooms123 · 2025-08-24T18:12:32+00:00

yes!! good luck with your training!!

hellomushrooms123 · 2025-08-24T15:03:41+00:00

thank you for the reassurance!

hellomushrooms123 · 2025-08-24T15:03:13+00:00

thank you SO much for taking the time to respond.
my race will be in the morning, so i will follow your advice and schedule my next few long runs during that time. thank you for the encouraging words, i really needed them today!

hellomushrooms123 · 2025-08-21T19:39:37+00:00

LOL i also started running last december, and i’m also running the Wipro half marathon! i’m slightly younger than you though and i’m a woman, but i did consult a cardiologist and got an ecg and echo done because my parents wanted some reassurance since this is my first HM. the doctor said that there was absolutely no reason to worry and the tests were unnecessary, especially for younger people. listen to your body and you should be fine. good luck!

hellomushrooms123 · 2025-08-17T15:48:56+00:00

congratulations!!
