American Diabetes Association – What To Expect When You Have Diabetes

This book is split up in to 170 different questions, questions like:

  • Can I catch diabetes from someone else?
  • Why should I work so hard to improve my blood-sugar level?
  • How will alcohol affect my blood sugar?
  • I easily get overwhelmed with decisions. Would I do better if I had planned meals?
  • Why is fat in food so bad?
  • How can I make my favourite recipes lower in fat?
  • How can I reduce fat in a meal when I eat at a restaurant?

This book is ok, but subscribes to the false, 80’s propaganda that fat is bad for you. Someone asking the question “Can I catch diabetes from someone else?” probably will buy this book and treat every chapter as the whole truth, furthering the pro-carbohydrate and anti-fat lies that are probably the route cause of the global obesity and diabetes epidemic.

Richard Allen – How To Dominate Property Investing In The UK
This book was very similar to the previous property investment book I read, Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People’s Time, Money and Experience. The buy, remortgage, reinvest technique was exactly the same but one thing that this book covered, which the previous one did not, was ways to identify the going market rate for an area and then ways to find and identify the below market rate properties. This was basically the missing piece of the puzzle.

After Norway it was a short rail trip to Gothenburg, Sweden, which was a lot of fun. I did the super tourist thing and went on all the tourist buses and boat excursions etc. to see the city.

Norway – The Home Of Black Metal
After a really nice flight with Norwegian on their new Boeing 787 Dreamliner I landed in Oslo, Norway on Sunday 11th May and the difference hit me in the face with a POW. First up I was still wearing shorts, and it was freezing cold when I landed. Secondly, going from one of the cheapest places in the world e.g. £0.70 for a beer, to one of the most expensive places in the world e.g. £10.00 for a beer, made me cry.

Blue Penthouse Apartment 9

I’ve spent the majority of my stay on Soi Tad-ied staying in the BM Guest House which was nice enough and covered the basics, single room, cheap (12,000 THB / £240 pm), great bed, working air con, separate shower room, balcony, cleaned weekly, but lacked on luxury, a tiny TV that was miles away from the bed making watching anything on it a bit pointless and Internet that didn’t really work. The state of the generic, consumer ADSL on the street is a nightmare featuring regular, daily, intermittent outages, not to mention you’re going to be sharing one 500K connection between 30 other people. Whilst I was able to get work done, it was frustrating and we’d tend to end up meeting up at one of the local restaurants to get work done.

Connecting With Other Digital Nomads

If you’re a digital nomad, meeting other nomads and entrepreneurs as you travel should be pretty high on your agenda. The benefits of tapping in to the accumulated wealth of local and business knowledge will make a huge difference to your travelling experience and potentially open you up to new business ideas and opportunities you may not have realised.

I’ve been using 4 main resources whilst I’ve been moving around to connect with people, make friends and create opportunities.
