  1. Is there a nice place to see in LA where you could get via Metro? I have 8 hours between flights and want to see LA,. But with a traffic and not very good public transportation, I now wandering what can be done … Thank you!

  2. I would totally go sooner but I can’t find someone that wants to come along with me. Even though there’s so much to do, the people I know hate LA, and I don’t feel comfortable going alone now but maybe in a few years I will. But I WILL go one day. I’m hoping someone in my family will volunteer to come along so I can go next spring or something.

  3. Because I had two influential fathers, I learned from both of them. I had

    to think about each dad’s advice, and in doing so, I gained valuable insight

    into the power and effect of one’s thoughts on one’s life. For example, one

    dad had a habit of saying, “I can’t afford it.” The other dad forbade those

    words to be used. He insisted I ask, “How can I afford it?” One is a

    statement, and the other is a question. One lets you off the hook, and the

    other forces you to think. My soon-to-be-rich dad would explain that by

    automatically saying the words “I can’t afford it,” your brain stops working.

    By asking the question “How can I afford it?” your brain is put to work. He

    did not mean that you should buy everything you want. He was fanatical

    about exercising your mind, the most powerful computer in the world. He’d

    say, “My brain gets stronger every day because I exercise it MAPHITE . The stronger it

    gets, the more money I can make.” He believed that automatically saying “I

    can’t afford it” was a sign of mental laziness.

    Although both dads worked hard, I noticed that one dad had a habit of

    putting his brain to sleep when it came to finances, and the other had a habit

    of exercising his brain. The long-term result was that one dad grew stronger

    financially, and the other grew weaker. It is not much different from a

    person who goes to the gym to exercise on a regular basis versus someone

    who sits on the couch watching television. Proper physical exercise

    increases your chances for health, and proper mental exercise increases

    your chances for wealth.

    My two dads had opposing attitudes and that affected the way they

    thought. One dad thought that the rich should pay more in taxes to take care

    of those less fortunate. The other said, “Taxes punish those who produce

    and reward those who don’t produce.”

    One dad recommended, “Study hard so you can find a good company to

    work for.” The other recommended, “Study hard so you can find a good

    company to buy.”

    One dad said, “The reason I’m not rich is because I have you kids.” The

    other said, “The reason I must be rich is because I have you kids.”

    One encouraged talking about money and business at the dinner table,

    while the other forbade the subject of money to be discussed over a meal.

    One said, “When it comes to money, play it safe. Don’t take risks.” The

    other said, “Learn to manage risk.”

    One believed, “Our home is our largest investment and our greatest

    asset.” The other believed, “My house is a liability, and if your house is

    your largest investment, you’re in trouble.”

    Both dads paid their bills on time, yet one paid his bills first while the

    other paid his bills last.

    One dad believed in a company or the government taking care of you

    and your needs. He was always concerned about pay raises, retirement

    plans, medical benefits, sick leave, vacation days, and other perks. He was

    impressed with two of his uncles who joined the military and earned a

    retirement-and-entitlement package for life after twenty years of active

    service. He loved the idea of medical benefits and PX privileges the

    military provided its retirees. He also loved the tenure system available

    through the university. The idea of job protection for life and job benefits

    seemed more important, at times, than the job. He would often say, “I’ve

    worked hard for the government, and I’m entitled to these benefits.”

    The other believed in total financial self-reliance. He spoke out against

    the entitlement mentality and how it created weak and financially needy

    people. He was emphatic about being financially competent.

    One dad struggled to save a few dollars. The other created investments.

    One dad taught me how to write an impressive resumé so I could find a

    good job. The other taught me how to write strong business and financial

    plans so I could create jobs.

    Being a product of two strong dads allowed me the luxury of observing

    the effects different thoughts have on one’s life. I noticed that people really

    do shape their lives through their thoughts.

    For example, my poor dad always said, “I’ll never be rich.” And that

    prophecy became reality. My rich dad, on the other hand, always referred to

    himself as rich. He would say things like, “I’m a rich man, and rich people

    don’t do this.” Even when he was flat broke after a major financial setback,

    he continued to refer to himself as a rich man. He would cover himself by

    saying, “There is a difference between being poor and being broke. Broke is

    temporary. Poor is eternal.”

    My poor dad would say, “I’m not interested in money,” or “Money

    doesn’t matter.” My rich dad always said, “Money is power.”

    The power of our thoughts may never be measured or appreciated, but it

    became obvious to me as a young boy that it was important to be aware of

    my thoughts and how I expressed myself. I noticed that my poor dad was

    poor, not because of the amount of money he earned, which was significant,

    but because of his thoughts and actions. As a young boy having two fathers,

    I became acutely aware of being careful about which thoughts I chose to

    adopt as my own. Should I listen to my rich dad or to my poor dad?

  7. 17. If it rains a lot drive carefully. The streets are flooded very fast because there is no real water management like you know it from other places. And people are not used to drive when it rains.

    The water tastes like drinking out of a swimming pool.

  8. great video! Loved watching it! May I also suggest a money related tip for US. ATMs in US all have different fees and withdrawal limits for foreign card holders – some have $2 fees and some as high as $5 for a single withdrawal. I used the ATM Fee Saver mobile app – it gave a list of ATMs in US with their fees and withdrawal limits. Was quite a life saviour to find those lower fee ATMs, never seen anything like this before, worth adding to your list, it will help a lot of international travellers!
