Travel on accumulated change

I have traveled to most of the world just on accumulated change and a little more on savings. The accumulated change can be substantial, if you keep it away from you, in a bucket, tank, or somewhere where you can't get to it easily, eventually, you will have a substantial amount. It takes a bit of discipline to not spend it, but it's so worth it when you get to your destination.

Are Americans really as fat as some claim?

It would seem that I don't see the fat in Americans that other people see. I have traveled extensively around the world, and I have seen fat people everywhere. One wonders if this hype about Americans being so fat, isn't some ploy by the fitness industry, in league with the pharmaceutical industry, to get people to buy into their 220 BILLION dollar, WORLD-WIDE market. There are fat people everywhere, just try any beer garden in Germany, you'll see tons of fat people. Try Norway, there are big people everywhere. I've seen them in Uzbekistan, Russia, Asia, the Philippines. Go to Samoa, Hawaii, some parts of equatorial Africa! Travel beyond your television and experience the world.

Give this rafter a thumbs up?

Go to Disneyworld in Orlando, Florida and then tell me if America has a weight problem!
