  1. I'm in agreement. Time will tell.
  2. That Rolex is hideous. Will sell great in Middle East and Asia, so it is a success.
  3. In Taipei, Nanmen Market remodeled last year and is a really neat "modern" version of local market, lots of preserved items, dried foods and seafoods, lots of prepared food stalls. One noodle shop in the cafeteria upstairs got Michelin listed, you'll know it by the goddamn line around the building. Just outside to the right is another Michelin listed food stall, again look for the line. I'm biased, but second the Tainan rec, super foodie city and still small town feel. Edit: the Outdoor Boys just did 2 weeks in Taiwan not long ago, see if anything in here catches your eye. A nice outsiders view of Taiwan and activities: https://youtu.be/h9I85veqN2Q?si=k4X0ozbcs0D0o8px Jiufen that they visited is really cool, little mining village hanging on the side of a mountain. But has gotten so insanely crowded with tourists, esp on weekends.
  4. rip
  5. Coco was such a masterpiece. Will see this for sure.
  6. Up the budget slightly and get a 991 Targa.
  7. The JAL Lounge sushi is, no hyperbole, better than 95% of sushi in the US. I'd put the tuna up more at 98% or so. It is amazing that it is free lounge food, and that lounge weighs in quite heavily when I am choosing which airline to fly through NRT.
  8. Taiwan actually did a PSA campaign many years ago about the priority seats, had hilarious video ads. One was a lady with slightly overweight belly walking up to a younger guy sitting in priority seat, the guy sees her and says "Wow 3 months congratulations!!!" and stands up to let her sit and she beats the shit out of him with her purse.
  9. Went through Narita last month and Kyotatsu is still there and still great!
  10. Eating in Taiwan is dirt cheap. Even the fancy food is half the price of other major cities. And it's fuggin good food.
  11. Yup, any minivan.
  12. Ningxia and Raohe night markets for more food. Do it.
  13. Translation is fine. Read it.
  14. Hell yes. Look at Space Grey on 07-13 BMWs, easily best color they come in. Shows the body lines so beautifully in any light.
  15. This sounds really good, actually.
  16. It's actually my strategy as well, minimize capital gains to minimize capital gains taxes.
  17. Average the average of the average down!
  18. Wait you look at earnings results for your stonks???
  19. Hey listen it was transitory ok?
  20. It's like craps, every time you lose, double down. Works great if you have unlimited money. And don't buy Enron. Who's gonna tell him?
  21. Like a boss.
  22. I've planted fig trees at every house I've been at. Love fresh figs. Don't love the jam/preserves though.
  23. Bread toasted over hot coals tastes way better than toasted in an electric toaster.
  24. Great buying opportunity on Gern today!
