Missing You and Calling Mr Kunstler Again


Missing you!

When I got home from the race, I was so tired, but there was no one to ask me how the race went or anything. Boo hoo! Was really missing Fransa then, so called her. She was having lunch at her brother's place, and the whole family were watching a movie I recommended to them (and also sent to my father for his birthday) called Lost In Translation. It paints a fairly accurate picture of the comedy and tragedy that is life out here in the Far Far East.

I sent an email to Mr Kunstler earlier and here's the question and response (which I tend to agree with):

I originally intended buying a house or property in South Africa (which is
currently growing in value probably fastest in the world) - do
you suggest I do that given the upcoming prognosis?


Nick--
I imagine SA will become a rather isolated and difficult place, with an extraordinary level of racial conflict. This is a lousy time to buy real estate just about anywhere, really. Stay in cash for the moment, if you can.
Triathlon! Wow. Impressive.
