Where's the gold?

Today, my youngest class read a story about a man who finds a cave full of gold. Their task was to write a diary entry documenting what they’d do with all that gold.

That got me thinking… what would I do if I had so much gold? The logical answer would probably be to invest or put it somewhere and earn interest. Many students said they’d buy a big house and a nice car. How about boring and conventional? That’s just not my style.

The top 37 things I’d do with a lot of gold:
(I chose 37 because that’s how old I’d be in 15 years. OMG!)

1. Travel to every corner of the world and seek out the finest coffee beans and indulge in aromatic coffee all day every day.
2. Buy Jay Chou as my personal iPod - he’d sing and dance and play piano and cello and guitar and drums to any song I wanted. Even if it was Britney Spears’ “I’m a Slave for You”.
3. Buy a TV Hat - yea, because I’d be so rich that whatever I did would be alright. Never seen the TV Hat? Check it out here…TV HAT - Pure Awesome-ness
4. Get a custom made walk-in wadrobe filled with Jimmy Choos and Louboutin.
5. Get a custom made walk-in refrigerator filled with the world’s best beers.
6. Make my own cellar and fill it with the best shiraz in the world.
7. Heck. I’d just buy my own winery and make my own awesome wine. And call it something crazy like naming it after myself.
8. Hire a personal chef. He must be tall, dark, handsome, sexy, and of course, must know how to cook just about anything and everything in the world ranging from cupcakes, to steak, to hand-made dumplings, to peking duck, to roasting a whole lamb.
9. Then buy a machine that makes me lose weight (not a treadmill) but more along the lines of where I don’t have to exert any energy and end up looking super sexy. Wahaha!
10. Take all my friends on a cruise around the world and then when they bug me or annoy me, I’ll just throw them off the side and then call my assistant to take them safely back to shore.
11. That was just a joke. I wouldn’t waste my money like that..
12. Open my own little coffee shop. And fill it with trinkets from my travels.

13. Buy pens in every colour ever known to man. Because I love coloured pens!
14. Open my own store which sells vintage robots! Yea. Because I’d be so rich that I can buy vintage robot toys and still have buck loads left.
15. Go climb Mt. Everest. But then I’ll have a whole crew go with me just to ensure my safety. And to carry me when I’m too tired to climb anymore. And then I’ll stick a flag with my face on it right at the top. Hell yea!
16. Eat ice cream and fries until I feel sick. Then stay in the most expensive hotel and hire my own personal medical crew. And watch free cable tv.
17. Order room service. Order for two people but eat it all by myself. The trick is to make the bell boy think there’s another person eating with you (turning the shower on and shouting, “Honey, the dinner is here” should do the trick.)
18. Buy a zoo. And make sure its odour-free.
19. Go scuba diving and swim with fishes.
20. But first, I have to save the coral reefs. I don’t know how…but I think I can do it.
21. Make a law that prohibits Korean men to wear skinny jeans and have permed hair. HAHAHAHA
22. I want to meet superman. I don’t care! I just want to.

That’s all I can think of right now. But really, I have millions of things that I want to do. It’s not all about money, sometimes it’s time, but mostly, it’s to do with practicality. I admit, I do have alot of random thoughts in my head……

So the million dollar question here is…
