I don't know how Bakso is weird though. It's just meatball soup!
The meat is a mystery! but so are sausages!
That sounds like a pretty hard core experience spook. Have been to so rad markets on our travels, a few which had to be exited very quickly!
I found a place in Timor who were very happy to chop up a pup for some satay!
-
Love it spook. It's a great arvo snack.
Can't wait till I get back for some more coz it's one of those things that you just can't replicate!

Fark Bali just gets worse and Worse but all my Indo mate & the people keep drawing me back!
BM, I have surfed those places between Kuta & Canggu that you have mentioned, and funnily enough it was because of wrong turns early mornings on the way to canggu.
We are staying out at Canggu next year for my bro's wedding. A few weeks but out of the rat race and close to the highway for a quick east coast escapade. All I care about is Maskan Padang and Bakso being close... Then I'll be happy!
Spook,
Good waves all around Turtles... Seek and you will find! Looks like a mate Timmy hasnamed a new wave around there.

Mate, didn't have a crack on the 9'1, just can't do it!
The nugget was the best shite wave board and will go in good conditions.

Hey surfers..
What's been happening?
I went for a surf last sunday, mate gave me a 9'1 as it was about 1ft. Found this FAT board in his garage in a board bag and said "what's this?" ended up being a McCoy Nugget, and have been wanting to try one out for ages...
Was ard board, great summer small wave board..
Anyone else tried em?

Where we live I think we don't need to lock up but I don't want to risk it so we do..

So making money from things like investing in property and shares really appeals to me. It's easy money!
I share the same opinion on retirement GN.
I often see my retired clients return to some sort of part time work anywhere from 6 mths to a few years after retirement. Usually it's not for money reasons, but social reasons.
It's said that once you retire you spend an extra 2000 hrs
a year more with your spouse/ partner! (& that may not be taking travel time into consideration!)

An interesting chart.

Just my 2c -
GN, sure over the last decade property has been a great investment and one that alot of people with no idea (not saying you) have been able to profit from. And once you have that initial equity it just becomes easier to get into more as long as you can service it.
But the horror stories I have seen at work with people just going in for an investment because "Property never goes down" is enough to make you sick.
The returns you talk about on the sharemarket are achievable though not every day but if you are switched on you can make it happen. Just depends on your strategy.
The point about kids of today wanting it all straight up.. I'm in that group I guess, though it's more location than italian marble benches! You grow up living on the beach, why the hell do we have to piss off to 1-2 hrs inland?
That's a trade off I am not willing to take. I want to live close to the beach and if I have to rent until I have 2-300k saved then so be it.

It's happening here. If the govt announced that they were taking away the ability to claim deductions from negative gearing property it would change the whole market I think.
Around here you need to cough up $600k to get a standalone 3 bdr home, which is cheap by city standards but without the facilities. A lot of properties have been on the market for a long time now and I am happy to be sitting on the sidelines waiting for my opp. -
Property is overpriced here (in OZ) but try telling anyone here that.
Everyone is so caught up in property and the common belief is that it can't go down!
You really wouldn't believe the things I see in my work with so called conservative investor close to or in retirement taking millions $$$ punts because they can't lose in property!
a quote from the SHM today
'If the sharemarket rose for 17 months straight and then tapered, people would not think twice. It might be wise to apply the same logic to our housing market,''
end rant.

I'm sure people are way way quicker back home.
They are most probably transferring $$$ to other, called Furikomi.
It is a biatch to be stuck behind, and I agree that they should have a line or 2 dedicated to only taking out cash! -

Clearly not sashimi then!
Winter & a hectic study & work schedule has seen me put on a few kg's. Amping to get out now and burn it off. -
Read a book, surf, fish & play with the kids more!
Wouldn't really bother me that much, in fact I'd love a week without it!

They have been featuring in the J-Bay surfing event everytime a Saffa gets a wave..

Spook, got an Emery. Good deal for a newwie that I couldn't refuse.
I desperately needed a board for the 3ft+ days as my last custom for the larger days came out way too wide and goes like shiat in anything over waist height.
Decky is on & I am hoping for some fun in the morning!
-
mee too spook. Jet ski assist and ..... pit time!
-
Don't you love it when it all comes into place?
Yesterday I get up and come to work.. Some how I come home with a new board! Life is good, now need some waves!

When we did my wife's Visa app she didn't have a joint account or any aussie property, so I don't think holding a joint bank account is going to matter that much. -
The pics look good Mantas (on FB).
My bro just sent me this one of him the bastard..
I'd be happy with that!
I am sure he is going to send me much more pain!

They've been running the same campaigns in OZ & have now put a few bans in place, so it's not just Japan that is worried..
And the constant is the same... Chinese...
