What if I were richer

So let us imagine Geordie with so much money, like say, being as rich as $500,000+ annually in passive income. Then what will he do?

(1) Immediately travel around the world.

With the best MacBook on Earth plus a digital camera and maybe car, he can feel free to blog, shop and travel!

He (actually, I) will travel around the world. First, he will travel all the countries that are comfortable Sinosphere (since St James' Park is so near to Chinatown). I will go to Singapore first. Then I'll just go up the West Coast of Malaysia, since I'd just gone up the East Coast. I'll visit JB, Yong Peng (nice coffee), Ayer Hitam (with its paos), Muar (curry rice!), Melaka (nyonya cuisine), Seremban (spicy food), KL (yong tau hoo and bak ku teh), Ipoh (where we find the real chicken rice), Penang (sourish laksa) and then, Alor Setar.

Then next up, I'd try Thai food (tom yam soup with Thai rice), Vietnamese food (pho), and then it'll be a round trip around China, Korea (BBQ) and Japan (ramen and sushi FTW).

I'd then go to Manila and shop after visiting Hokkaido... It's the transistion from the Sinosphere to the Anglosphere. It's where I get oversized PacMan shirts (since I'll be a couple of pounds heavier, as I really lived to eat).

I'd return to Singapore, before flying to Australia.

I really hope to enjoy more of the roo meat... well, and catch up with friends here. Somehow if I go to other countries, I can only remember the food I'd tried.

Then it'd be New Zealand. I want more of kiwi fruits with lamb meat.

Then I'd go try to go to Ireland. I'd drink beer to my fill. Then I'd go to Northern Ireland to visit Droopy (any nice food there?) before heading to Scotland, to perhaps have more beer. Then I will pass by Newcastle... Oh, and have even more beer! I'm sure by then, I'd forgotten my online and offline communities, my sorrows, my struggles and my frustrations to not get them interested! I'd be too interested in beer that I know nothing else.

I think I'd just visit all the sights along the way before visiting Wales and its coal mines. I am not sure what Wales has, but I'll visit it. Then finally, I think I will have a real feast in London. Maybe I can visit Ian when I'm there.

Then I hope to fly to Canada. I can consider travelling along the Transcontinental Highway, and perhaps visit Aillas and Whale_Bone... Maple syrup and pancakes for breakfast would be ideal.

I'd perhaps end my round-the-world trip for the time being. I'd love to visit Mexico and European continent and even Africa, but leave them to a later stage.

If I hadn't explored the core of the Sinosphere (Japan, Korea and China) and the Anglosphere (Oz, NZ, Britain, Ireland and Canada, along with US) at their entirety, somehow I feel incomplete in self-exploration.

(2) Stay in Princeton

I do not like top-notch 'brands', I don't appreciate D&G, LV and even DKNY.

But I have a fascination for Princeton.

I hope to live there for about a month, and do practically nothing there except talking to students and professors.

I'd try to visit all 50 states...

Before settling in 1.

(3) Living my life

Seriously, I don't know how to live my life...

If I'd spent a good deal of time overseas, one year exploring the Sinosphere and then the 50 states, I'd consider investing and moving to the States...

What's my life like?

I'd visit the second hand goods stores, online or offline. To find whether I can find New Era and Nike stuff.

If I can't find any, I'd shop onsite.

Well... Why would a rich person, who can buy 'real' things, still go to second hand shop and still pick up possibly 'fake' stuff?

When I like it, I buy and use it, no matter what others say.
