    Onsen, Sumo, Golf and too much Tokyo

    Japan's $100 million man, Shohei Ohtani. 10 Year $700 million contract from the Dodgers, but he is expected to make $100 million/year in just endorsements alone. All figures USD. Craziest thing is that his playing contract is structured that he only gets $2m/year and the balance is deferred...

    Who Pays when you use After Pay, Zip, PayPalx4 etc.

    The absolute relief from multiple mortgage brokers we have dealt with when we advised we didn't have any of these accounts suggests to me that the banks don't look on them favourably when doing serviceability calculations.

    When will Australia get modern entry procedures?

    The fact that Australia makes you fill out a paper form for every individual is backwards in itself. Why not one form for a family like other countries?

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    I'm average 😂 178cm to be exact. I find that I can get a really great lounging position where my legs are supported in the SQ seats, and also in many of the reverse herringbone designs.

    Of Islands and Gulfs (golfs!)

    Yeah $290 for 7MB seems very steep compared to the pricing available at Barnbougle and even the top notch public courses on the Mornington and Bellarine peninsula. I'm still going to find a way to go though 😳

    MH148 MEL KUL flight question

    They did not when we flew on that flight back in September. Marhaba is pretty average, but it does have windows.

    Recent status run from Australia to NZ return

    This would be dependant on which airport, as only AKL has any sort of transit facility

    Riyadh Air

    They also managed to get a LHR slot as a brand new carrier. Wonder how deep they had to dig to afford that.
