Here’s a video of an interesting dinner outlet at San Marcos, 45 mins north of San Diego, with a fire and water fountain neck to neck :) If you love spaghetti, your satisfaction is guaranteed at the Old Spaghetti Factory here:

Finally!

We arrived in San Diego to start a 2-week holiday after flying for about 16 hours to LA and driving 3 hours (which I had to fight my heavy eyelids from closing most of the time).

And… I just wanted to share with you how my HOLIDAY turned into a RETREAT. Plus… a little ANNOUNCEMENT that I had prepared to make for quite a while.

So, here’s what happened:

24 hours ago @T3, Changi

After checking in for boarding, I had some time on hand.

Thus, I began to write an IMPORTANT and URGENT email to all my students. (The purpose of the mail is to help with an affiliate marketing project that makes them $1000+ per sale.)

The next time you travel either for business or holiday, try the latest location-based social networking trend which allows you to discover:

  • What’s happening in the area where you currently are (eg. great food, special offers or events); and
  • Whether any of your friends are around there (so you can connect with them there!)

All you need is a smart phone (Apple iPhone, Blackberry, Google Android or Symbian) and one of those burgeoning location-based social networking sites like Foursquare (Note: a list of popular location-based social networking sites is given at the end of this article):

For example, someone avoided a notorious food stall in New York after she ‘checked in’ to such a site and found a tip-off from another user warning her to steer clear!

In contrast, you can easily miss such warnings from general social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter which streams thoughts from other users randomly and endlessly.

However, there’s a trade off: (more…)
