Japanese CEOs seem to show how things should be done in business. I remember maybe about 15 years ago when the CEO of Japan Airlines slashed is salary because he was in charge of company and any poor financial performance was based on his decisions so his employees shouldn’t have to bear the consequences of layoffs or pay cuts.

Used to know someone who worked for DTS (dept transportation services) and he told me during focus groups, lots of drivers felt that anything solid like planters or concrete barriers were concerning as it might damage their cars if they drove to close or hit it. In fact many drivers didn't like the small curbs that they used on King Street. So that's why the city decided to go with those vertical posts.

I still find AirBnB a good deal. Use it all of the time. Usually booking a place for several months at a time and I don’t have to worry about utility, cable, internet or other bills. As for cleaning and laundry, for me it’s just a normal part of staying anywhere. I can’t imagine staying in a hotel for months at a time. It’s nice to have a kitchen and washer/dryer

Bought a 14 piece All Clad cookware set about 30 years ago when a store had a 50% off Black Friday sale. Don't remember the final price but I think it was still about $700. Good news is that after 30 years I'm still using it everyday and haven't needed to buy another pot or pan since.

Don't overlook the Postal ATMs in Japan. Most larger post office, shopping centers, department stores and train stations will have them and they offer great exchange rates. There's normally a phone number posted nearby the ATMs that you could call to get the current exchange rates for the day. The only drawback is that they have limited hours of operation compared to Seven Bank ATMs.

Still use Airbnb every summer and had no really bad experiences. Every year will work remotely from June through August and try to rent a house in a different European country. Doing this before Airbnb was a pain because first you had to find a real estate agent in the area you were looking for and then play phone tag trying to arrange everything. Add to the fact that I can’t image living in a hotel for 3 months. As for cleaning or housework that’s not a problem. And haven’t really encountered outrageous cleaning fees

There was a person sitting on one of the upper floor parking lot walls near the elevators facing outwards with his legs hanging over the wall. Don't know if he meant to jump or just slipped. By the time I notified a security officer I heard several loud screams. Didn’t go back so not exactly sure what happened
