My Tibetan Mastiff Dream

The Tibetan Mastiff (Tibetan: འདོགས་ཁྱི; Chinese: 藏獒; Pinyin: Zàng áo) is a large Tibetan dog breed.

This still primitive dog breed was developed centuries ago in Tibet.

Originating with the nomadic cultures of Tibet, China, Mongolia, India and Nepal, it is used by local tribes of Tibetans to protect sheep from wolves, leopards, bears, and tigers.

The Tibetan Mastiff dog is known for its loyalty and has been used as a nomad dog for thousands of years.

I having a running deal with a good Chinese friend of mine who raises Tibetan Mastiffs on the grounds of his auto parts factory is just outside of Shenyang, Liaoning China. He lets one roam at night to protect the factory, if he lets two roam they will fight each other, the deal is I get to choose a puppy but my modern nomadic lifestyle has prevented me from taking him up on his generous offer but one day I will.

Bali is an Indonesian island known for its lush forests filled with banyan trees, jack-fruit, coconuts, bamboo and bananas, volcanic mountains, ancient rice paddies, gorgeous beaches and beautiful coral reefs with nearly a thousand species of exotic fish.

Warren Buffett Pitching Cherry Cokes in China

Warren Buffett on Cherry Coke

Billionaire Warren Buffett helped Coca-Cola launch Cherry Coke into the China Market by adorning a cartoon character of him onto limited addition Cherry Coke cans and bottles.

Who better to pitch Cherry Coke in China then the highly regarded investment genius who says that he drinks at least five cans a day consuming regular Coke at the office and Cherry Coke at home. He claims it is his secret to staying young.

Buffet didn’t ask to get paid to help with the promotion well at least not directly after all Berkshire Hathaway is the largest single shareholder in Coca-Cola with an investment worth about $17 billion.

The Oracle of Omaha’s cult like status isn’t just limited to Americans, an estimated 3,000 Chinese investors flocked to Berkshire Hathaway's annual shareholders meeting last year.

That subliminal message might be if I drink one of these everyday maybe I will be as Rich as Warren Buffet.

While making my purchase of Cherry Coke at Family Mart in Shanghai,  I asked some Chinese people if they knew who was the person on the can a few said they didn’t know some creative answers and asked if it was Colonel Sanders of KFC ha ha ha.
