I’d like to be a Galapagos iguana in my next life.（第3站）＊ 「當你身處於開發中國家時，可能會接到許多請求，甚至是看起來很有錢的中產階級也可能向你開口，也許是借錢，也許是投資一筆「穩賺不賠」的生意。而最好的回答，就是「謝啦，但是，不用了！」When you’re in a developing country, you may get many requests, even from quite rich-looking middle-class people, to borrow money or invest in a business “which can’t fail.’ The best answer is, “Thank you, but NO THANK YOU!”（第6站）＊「敬我們的美好將來。」貝蒂˙威廉斯用她的香檳杯與我碰杯慶祝，她是香港最有錢的一位女富豪。我不太懂她說的「將來」，指的是我成為她員工的那個將來，還是指我變成她男友的那種將來！她比我大上三十歲，對她來說似乎不成問題，...但對我來說卻是啊！“To our happy future.” Betty Williams, one of the richest women in Hong Kong clinked her champagne glass against mine. I could not understand whether the “future’ meant a future as one of her workers or a future as a boyfriend! The fact that she was thirty years older than me didn’t seem to trouble her, ... but it troubled me!（第7站）＊亞洲最大、最炫、生意最好的海濱勝地在哪裡？就在泰國灣的芭達雅。那兒跟賭城拉斯維加斯一樣，二十四小時都有得玩。露天大型啤酒屋擠滿了來自世界各地的顧客：德國人、法國人、瑞士人、美國人等等，但沒有泰國人。Where is Asia’s biggest, brightest and most crowded seaside resort? It’s crazy Pattaya on the Gulf of Thailand. Like Las Vegas, the fun goes on non-stop for twenty-four hours a day.
