Weekend

This weekend, we finally took the bikes out from the basement and brought them to central park for a ride. Did three small loops only. Too lazy to go uphills in the big loop. Quite a scary realization that the bike tour is just a few days away.... we are so not in shape.

Leigo went to an open house this weekend, to observe the working style of a broker. It's a $2.7m apartment, 3 bedrooms, uppwer west side, wwned by an asian hedge fund manager, a pianist, and their little boy. Observation of the day: Manhattan is full of super rich peopole, it's pretty crazy! Lot's of all-cash buyers floating around. Where do they get their money from, I wonder?

think about this, a big name asset management firm (think of the fidelity) manages hundred plus BILLION US dollars. and there're quick a few of them in existence.

where does all these money come from? many times i think, those countries in south east asia doesn't even have that much money as a country itself.

part of this world is so obscene just like our world could be obscene for other people.
