Having spent most of my life living in Northern California and then a few years in Tokyo, I am generally not a big fan of February. I tend to get too cold too easy and much prefer the summer months. Weather here on the sub-tropical island of Miyakojima is proving to much more to my liking. Since the temperature today was around 80f and mostly sunny, my wife and I decided to pack a lunch and eat near the ocean. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Also, if anyone is interested in visiting Miyakojima, please feel free to contact me and I would be glad to offer any advice I can.

After completing my study at Waseda University in Tokyo, Japan, I returned back to the US. Having sold just about everything before I left, one of the first things I had to do was purchase a car. Since I am a bit of a car fan, I had been planning and researching for quite some time. This knowledge of knowing exactly what the car was worth and knowing what I was willing to pay, allowed me to purchase a brand new car at a really great price. The price was so good I was able to sell the car a year later  for a thousand more than I paid for it.

I have recently come across a three part guide explaining all the ins and outs of getting a great deal on a car. It is a very comprehensive set of articles and following the tips should help save a lot of money. Even if you manage to save just a $100 more than you were willing to pay, you are still making good money
