Hi Mingshi,

My Girlfriend took her Nidan in HK about a year ago and she told me it was about $110 I couldn't believe it. It seems so much money to pay out just for a bit of paper. I understand that you have to pat the expenses of the panel and grading officer etc.... but $110 is a hell of alot of money.

You mentioned about taking grading's in Britain. I know it is not that much but what annoy's me is registration fee you have to pay after you pass. OK you pass your grading and have to £20 to register your grade. But then when you come to take your next grading you have to send in a copy of your Menjo..... It just winds me up that you have to pay to regster you grade and then next tme you grade you have to prove you are that grade what is the point in registering the grade in the first place ........ sorry to moan but it winds me up abit.

I don't know if you know my girlfirend or not she is from Macau, I know she practice's at quite a couple of the HK dojo's when she is home.
