~ A worldly thread ~
Last night was weird and crazy and awesome.
To start, I went to a bar/restaurant at about 5 PM to get dinner and a beer.
Got in touch with a photographer I might use for some product pics via a bartender.
We had a bit of lively debate, nothing too serious. Her arguments were "Trump is racist, homophobic, etc."
Talked to them about rugby and hockey for a bit, then they invited me to sit down with them.
That's when they started getting me real drunk.
Of course, as an American business owner, you can imagine what my views on the topic are.
I agreed.
I told him about my business and how I have an employee (my VA).
And that she couldn't do that.
He didn't really get that 100%.
He thinks that if everyone works for the benefit of the community, the community can provide for everyone, and then you get a small allowance for yourself.
Which, again, I agreed. I'll admit that I'm greedy (by world standards, at least).
Anyways, it was a very stimulating conversation that left me with a lot to think about.
Anyways...
They were all smokers, and since cigarettes are so expensive here (~$25-$30 USD for 1 pack), they roll their own (call them rollies).
I partook a bit, but then showed them my JUUL.
The quick buzz, how discrete it is, the JUUL is a fucking revolutionary product imo. But, you can't get it in NZ. I might have my friend ship me a bunch just so I can give them out to these mofos.
(And maybe even sell them for a profit to others).
Then we went to another bar, more "modern" and American-esque I suppose.
That's when I started talking to one of the guys in this group about my business.
I'm the exact opposite, but it's cool to see the different perspectives.
So, I did my rounds and found a kiwi girl and started talking to her (first kiwi girl I met actually).
She was cute, we smoked a cigarette together and talked and made out for a second.
I tried taking her home with me, but she thought I was crazy for going home that early. People here stay out all hours of the night, til 4, 5, even 6 AM.
But I got her number before I left.
I have my own room there, which is really nice.
And that's about it.
America is such a single-minded country, and seeing the perspectives of others for the first time was absolutely awesome. I think every American NEEDS to get out of the country and do something like this.
Anyways, that was my night.
If you got this far, wow. That's pretty cool you care enough to read this far.
Lol.
FIN.
