2023: over
Been quite busy the last few months, and forgot to do my regular posts. Now that the year is winding down, I have some time to catch up.
The US trip in September-October was a success: got to see all the family we were going to see, the travel logistics worked out, and jet lag wasn’t too debilitating.
Following that, my partner and I officially got married in October, but didn’t take formal wedding photos until this month. We will get the final photos next month. Also, need to plan a honeymoon trip sometime for 2024…
The Yen has, amazingly, begun to strengthen over the last month or so. Hope the trend continues so that I can exchange my JPY holdings for USD and start investing again.
