Moving and other bits

Since my days, I've lived far away from the city, not until nearly 2 years ago I just lived on the outskirts. I've finally moved downtown Tokyo. Rent is an arm a leg, but I'm in a yuppie part of Tokyo. Plenty of cute girls (and apparently ones that do yoga).

The name of the game will be to start building my connections in downtown Tokyo and see where things go from there. I know I used to save tons of cash by living away from the city, but I decided that quality of life is important and I'd rather not be the richest man in the graveyard. I'll instead focus on learning how to make more money instead.

Of interesting note, the Bank of Japan announced that they are going to gun for 2% inflation. The yen took a beating for the last month (I was happy to sell of a bunch of yen 3 weeks ago) and am learning a bit of currency and fixed income trading. 

I've also got back about 1.5 hours of daily time and I am loving it.
