Imagine you were a sailor hundreds of years ago...
And like Chrisopher Columbus, you wanted to sail across the ocean from Europe to America.
How would you get there?
You can’t draw a map of the sea. It all looks the same.
You can’t rely on GPS, only the compass was around.
And you can’t really see where you’re going, because the trip would take months.
So, back in those days, the only real way you could get anywhere safely, and on time, was by being able to navigate with the stars...
You’d wait for the stars to come out, and then you’d look for the North Star (Polaris).
And that’s what humans did for centuries…
If you wanted to travel a long distance, you’d need to read the stars and use the North Star as your guide.
But those that didn’t know how to read the stars - often got themselves and their crew lost. Or worse - they got shipwrecked.
And it’s the same today.
If you want to go somewhere...
If you want to have something...
If you want to be someone...
You need to use the North Star as your guide.

Do you want to live in a nice home one day?
Do you want to live in many different countries?
Do you want to start a family?
Whatever it is that you want to do - you’ll need your North Star to get there.
And when it comes to personal finance and business, I believe the best ‘North Star’ you can have: is a strong investment portfolio.
An investment portfolio that grows your savings month after month, year after year…
At a rate impossible to ignore.
How do you build one?
Well, just like sailors know how to find the North Star, you need to be able to look through multiple investments and find investments that will help you to reach your dreams.
You could call these “North Star Investments”.
On February 23rd to 24th, I’m holding a private event in Las Vegas where I’m going to show you how to find these North Star Investments.
And what you can do to protect your savings and grow.

當年今日:亞羅船事件
Today in Military History: 8 October 1856 - Arrow, a ship flying the British flag, is boarded by Chinese, who arrest the crew, and inevitably cause a chain of events that begins the Second Chinese War.
On the morning of 8 October, a ship with a junk rig, and a European hull -- a hybrid known as a "lorcha" -- lay quietly at anchor in the Pearl River, off the Chinese trading port of Canton. Owned by a Hong Kong merchant, Fang Aming, but registered as British, which meant she was protected under the Treaty of Nanking.
A little after 8 a.m., Qing officials boarded her, claiming that known pirates and smugglers were among her crew. Allegedly, the vessel was employed in the salt-smuggling trade. Twelve Chinese seamen were arrested. The captain hurried to complain to the British Consul, Harry Parkes, who rushed on board in a fruitless attempt to prevent the arrested men from being taken on shore.
The British officials in Guangzhou demanded the release of the sailors, claiming that because the ship had recently been British-registered, it was protected under the Treaty of Nanjing. The British insisted that the Arrow had been flying a British ensign and that the Qing soldiers had insulted the flag.
Parkes returned to his office to pen a severe message to the Governor-General of Canton, Yeh Mingchen, complaining particularly about the insult to the British flag -- which, apparently, had been torn down and disgraced. Not only did he want the return of the men, he wanted an apology for this. He also sent a note to Hong Kong, declaring that it was time for a military demonstration of strength.
Yeh replied, pointing out that the vessel was Chinese-built and Chinese-owned, and that the arrested men were Chinese. However, he offered to return the arrested men to the Consulate. Parkes refused to accept them, as there had been no apology.
This was all a subterfuge. The real issue was Chinese recalcitrance in the matter of Western trading privileges in their country. Gunboats, under the command of Rear Admiral Sir Michael Seymour, sallied out to punish Canton for the alleged insult. Though the Chinese prisoners had been returned to the custody of the British Consul they had not been "publicly restored to their vessel, nor had the required apology been made" -- or so Seymour claimed. After destroying the Imperial Provincial Fleet in the Peark River, he forced his way into Canton, and marched on Yeh's offices. The Cantonese retaliated by torching British factories.
In all reality, the registration of the nationality of the Arrow had actually expired, in which case she did not have the right to fly the ensign, and her crew's arrest by the Qing authorities was lawful.

Macau is home to the best cake in the world?
Today we hiked from Taipa to Macau, walking for miles through Macau to find the greatest cake. This truly was a delicious adventure travel experience and along the way we stopped at some great hidden gems of Macau.
Check out Rawell's Channel!

In this adventure we wanted to make the experience of trying the best cake in the world a bit more exciting and adventurous. This is why we travelled through Macau walking from Taipa Hill, over the Macau bridge to nearby Guia Lighthouse where we got to try the delicious cake.
Macau is full of great Macau food but this cake is different originating from Japan and growing in popularity in Taiwan. This Asian cake has now come over to Macao and has become a very popular Macau food to try for both locals and travellers in Macau.
If you are looking for things to do on your day trip in Macau then trying this great Macau food cake is a must!
This wonderful Asian dessert cake is called Castella Sponge Cake
It originates from Japan and it’s main ingredients are sugar, egg and Mizuame
This cake took form during the 16th century as Portugal began to trade with Japan
This cake could be stored for long periods of time so was perfect for the sailors travelling from Japan to Portugal.
I hope you enjoyed this Macau adventure travel vlog and if you would like to see more adventure travel vlogs please let me know.
