hello BN,

I know the company aforementioned, but I have no intention of doing any further research, or "google hacking" you, so you can rest easy my man...

And you are right, money isn't everything, life is short, we should follow our passions, but I've also become enough of a realist to know it helps. The reasons you posted about Japan and Korea are also ones I'm interested in. I have heard Japan is insanely expensive and stressful, hence all the salaryman suicides. It seems like a sterile stress bubble and I am not so keen on that, London and NYC can be bad enough in that competitive, get ahead, F*** everyone else, kind of way.
