Still spending.

Still employing (send resume if your a hairdresser or Accountant)

Made an offer on another house last night.

5K away atm.

making them sweat!

Shares = shit, but in 3 - 5 years who cares.

Planning mods.

Life's peachy

Oh, and interest rates are coming down which means more for me and less for the bank

I went ~3 years ago and the exchange rate was like 1AUD = 75YEN. Got by alright. I believe the prices of plane tickets are a lot better now because of Jet Star though, so it should be fine!

the flights are pretty good , about 1400 return from a quick look.
im going in july next year for 2 weeks and was willing to spend around 6k if that is enough , this is based on what it costed a mate but he also went to egypt on the way.
