While I was resting on the bench along the Yarra River in a lazy afternoon, this Greece man from Athens approached me. He said he was doing a survey and asked whether I could answer some questions. I agreed to his request.
He started by talking about Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad, Poor Dad and I told him I have read that book. After talking for a while, I realized that he was trying to persuade me to get into some sort of pyramids investment. I have read about this type of investment in Singapore before. It goes something like this – when a person invested $1,000 and he will get 5% interest provided that he introduces another 10 people to invest $1,000 each. These 10 people will have to further each get another 10 people to invest.
I told this Greece man that this type of investment is illegal in Singapore. He asked for my contact number in Singapore and said he will get someone from Network 21 will contact me when I am back in Singapore. I did a search in the Internet and found that there is in fact such an institution known as Network 21 that trains people to be their own boss. But I am not interested in this.
I went to the Queen Victoria Market and found that it is very interested. I bought 5 tomatoes for 50 cents and 3 big bananas for $1.45. I ate them for lunch. This market is one of the places you will have to visit if you are coming to Melbourne.
