Cha-ching

This morning nobel prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz was giving a lecture at Kyoto University. It was free to get in you just needed to get there early enough to get a ticket. Luckily I managed to snag one of the last 5 or so available. As I was waiting in line just about to go in some random guy comes up to me and offers me 10,000 yen for my ticket. 10,000 yen for the ticket I received for free minutes earlier. Feeling slightly guilty I took his deal and left before he could think about what he had just done. Andy made me feel better afterwards though with his reasoning that if the guy starts his offer at 10,000 yen then surely he has the resources to make such an offer.

To make the day even better I also got to go see the Hanshin Tigers vs Yokohama Baystars in Koshien as well thanks to Keiko who scored tickets at work. The game got called due to rain in the 6th inning but it was still a great time even though our dear Tigers lost.
