My time using the trading platform at Invest In Stocks has been really good. The website is easy to use and makes it simple for me to check out different stocks and forex options. I like that there are lots of choices for trading, especially since they have a focus on tech stocks which I'm interested in. Plus, the free trading software they give to new members is a nice bonus that has helped me make smart choices when trading.

I recently went on a trip from Beijing to Mt. Fuji with a travel company, and I gotta say, it was a pretty good experience overall. The China portion of the trip was enjoyable, and that's mainly thanks to our guide Howard who was really on the ball. The only downside was that there were more people on the tour than they said there would be, so the buses felt pretty cramped, especially for the larger folks in the group.

When we got to Japan, though, things took a bit of a nosedive because our guide there wasn't so great. Still, the hotels and schedule were top-notch in both countries. Oh, and a heads up - be prepared to do a ton of walking on this trip. One day, I hit 19,000 steps!
