This week I finally finished watching the DVDs, 24. It took almost 3 years to watch only the first season!! LOL  It was good and I like the idea of 24. But I don't think it's a good idea to watch suspence shows by myself (maybe just for me) and don't like the shows killing people with no reason. I don't feel good about that. 

I still have Season 2 to watch. (I have borrowed them from my friend for 3 years.) Now I'm wondering if I should watch it or not. I am afraid it would take another 3 years. :P

I started thinking about money from last weekend. Probably this is because of Shell. Recently she told me about financial things a lot. Then the stock price fell down, the yen became stronger. I was interested in investments, so I thought it was time to do something!

Wednesday was our company's holiday (because of Nada festival), so I went to Kobe to open a new bank account. I already applied for an account at another bank, but it was a net-bank, it would take time to send me a bank card. And I didn't know about investment well, so I needed to talk face-to-face with a specialist first. I told an bank staff that I was intrested in investments, then she took me upstairs. The second floor was so wide. There were some booths to talk with bankers and some comfy chairs for waiting. A yong banker called my name and took me to his booth. There were stylish desktop on a wide desk. As I sat down a chair, he gave me a bottled tea and a cup. I hadn't bought any their financial product, just I asked them about that. They treated me well. He taught me about some economic stuff. I already read some book, but he told me extra usefull knowledge and information. And it was free. I left there without buying anything (coz I can buy online at home), but I felt good. I liked it.

After the bank, I went shopping, of course!! I know I can save my money if I don't buy anything, but I can't!! I got lovely boots and a nice top. I was so happy! (I sound like Rebecca in Confessions of a Shopaholic. hahaha)

Now I'm checking financial news and exchange rates all the time. I feel like I'm stepping into a new world.
