@ChaiAndMiles in our 9 days Japan trip, we just had 2 Indian meals.

local food is the experience we keep looking for.

with a lot of Vegan restaurants, it has become easier now a days.

[DealHunter @CrazyDealLife]

just came back from Japan trip !

The toilets were really the best. You can be sure of the cleanliness at most public places as well.

One of the hotels even had a speaker to generate flush sound. Weird but cool 😄

I'm visiting Japan encountering these Toto toilets with more buttons than airliners. I'm afraid pressing any because I might get electrocuted or launch nuclear missiles or something. So I just took a photo and pasted into ChatGPT to translate.

@gurumilespoints will be visiting the Kyoto Teamlab in a few days. we are also preferring this over Tokyo.

[DealHunter @CrazyDealLife]

Bull and Bear markets learnings

- Steady cashflow makes it easier to stay invested longer

- markets are irrational, emotions drive prices in short term

> in Bull markets,everything works, in Bear, nothing seems to 😢

- getting the sector right across cycles is 🔥

[DealHunter @CrazyDealLife]

[DealHunter @CrazyDealLife]

Now waiting for approval (7-8 working days typically).

⚠️ important tip: Print your visa form EXACTLY as shown in the PDF. I saw one applicant's last line not printed - was flagged.

Don't let that be you.

Paid 1300 ( 500 visa + 800 VFS charges). Officer said "wait for confirmation email." Everything was straightforward.

Opted for physical pickup.
