0:02hey there welcome back Pizza Hut
0:05fans so let's look at some Pizza Huts
0:12again so here's Pizza Huts they're
0:15beautiful I went to a Pizza Hut in chong
0:18ching China right there in the
0:21center and it was packed and nobody's
0:24eating pizza they're eating all sorts of
0:26other good stuff but nobody's eating
0:28pizza I'm thinking this is kind of
0:31strange why aren't they eating pizza and
0:33then I found out that in central China
0:36most people don't like pizza so my wife
0:38is from South Central China and she said
0:41when she first came to the United States
0:42she could not understand how somebody
0:44could eat pizza she thought that that
0:46was just like the cheese was like three
0:49kinds of
0:50gross and
0:52uh yeah so they're not big cheese eaters
0:55but they do have pizzas there so here's
0:58a picture of some of the p pizzas that
1:00they have and I'll send you this link so
1:02you can go look at them but they've got
1:04they don't look like normal pizzas do
1:07they yeah they had all sorts of ones
1:11they had I saw one that was mayonnaise
1:13and tuna
1:14Pizza
1:17yeah so uh I I saw all these weird
1:20pizzas they're just not really what I
1:22was expecting so then I decided um I
1:25would order What's called the American
1:27Pizza now you can't go wrong with
1:30American Pizza if you're an American
1:31like this face is and you're getting an
1:34American Pizza how can it's got to be
1:38pretty good right or at least has to be
1:40something that I would recognize
1:43right no no I have no idea what was on
1:48the American Pizza um let's just say I
1:52didn't finish
1:54it and I was dying for some pizza
1:56because I've been in China for a long
1:58time I'm like oh give me some Pizza I
2:00didn't finish it because it was not
2:04really what I was
2:08into oops I don't know why stopped
2:13sharing there
2:16so one pizza I saw and this was a pizza
2:21there at the Pizza Hut there you
2:25go no I didn't order this but uh it ah
2:31yeah it was unique so you have hot dogs
2:35rolled up in pizza dough around the
2:38edges then you have
2:42mayonnaise
2:46fish yeah I
2:49just can you imagine going to a Pizza
2:51Hut in the United States and getting
2:55this delivered to you no no they were
2:57drinking milkshakes they were drink they
2:59had all sorts of good yummies but just
3:01the pizzas weren't really what they you
3:04were thinking of a Pizza Hut
3:07pizza okay so doing business in China
3:09talk about doing business in China yes
3:11there there are some challenges to doing
3:13business in China but there's a lot of
3:15money to be made all sorts of companies
3:18very few companies are saying hey we
3:19don't want to be in China because it's
3:22it's
3:23a uh such a lucrative field but what's
3:27interesting about China is
3:30China that remember we said they had two
3:32governments right the top government
3:34which is Communist party and the bottom
3:35government which is like the local
3:37government right the local government is
3:39very structured and it's got its roots
3:40in Confucianism which is a real old
3:43tradition some people say it's you mean
3:45it's a religious law country it's not a
3:47religious law country it's
3:50um uh Confucianism is more of a way than
3:54it is a religion you could say it's a
3:56religion but it's more of a way of
3:57thinking it's like being a Democrat is a
3:59way of thinking and being Republican
4:01kind of a way of thinking and being
4:02libertarian kind of a way of thinking
4:05also being a Catholic is kind of a way
4:07of thinking so that's kind of what it's
4:09kind of a way right but the idea in
4:12confusion ism is that you can't own
4:16intellectual property there's no such
4:18thing as owning an idea so in the United
4:21States if I write a book of poems and
4:25you say you read those poems and you say
4:27wow those are good poems right then you
4:30take my book my poems write make your
4:33own book with my poems in them put your
4:36name on them and sell them that's
4:38illegal you can't do that in the United
4:40States that goes against intellectual
4:42property rights because I made the poems
4:44I own those poems right under confusion
4:48ISM there's no such thing as
4:50intellectual property rights you can't
4:52own an
4:54idea right so under under confusion ISM
4:58under the lower Lev of government in
5:01China if I write a book on poems you
5:05read my book of poems you say that's a
5:08darn good book of poems right I'm gonna
5:11put my name on that so then you can
5:14erase my name put your name on it and
5:16sell it and make lots of money on it
5:18right and that is considered perfectly
5:20legal in fact you are actually honoring
5:24Me by taking my poems and putting your
5:27name on it because if they weren't very
5:28good poems
5:30why would you put your name on yeah so
5:34we got kind of a problem going there
5:36right right so um that's why there's a
5:39lot of problems with intellectual
5:41property rights in China um there's ways
5:44to get around them right but they still
5:48they still have have some these so one
5:50of the things is China the government
5:52the Communist Party joined the
5:56WTO and the WTO says oh
6:00under Gat we have to honor intellectual
6:04property rights so the Communist Party
6:07says oh we honor those rights the lower
6:10level of government
6:11says not so much right so they kind of
6:14have a little war going on on
6:16intellectual property rights right and
6:18you'll see this if you go to China very
6:20long you will see it happen right so
6:23there's places where they have knocked
6:24off everything right I've been malls
6:27where there is nothing there that is
6:29original from the company that should
6:31have made it so you want to buy a Gucci
6:33watch you can buy a Gucci watch for like
6:3630 bucks and don't worry it will last at
6:40least a week before it breaks but you
6:42can go and buy one or you can buy a
6:44Rolex B Rolex yeah let's get some fake
6:47Rolexes so you've got these Villages
6:49these little malls where they have all
6:51this knockoff stuff which is technically
6:53against the WTO they're not supposed to
6:55have it so every once in a while the
6:57Communist Party says oh we're going to
6:59go ra this this uh Village or this uh
7:02this um uh what do you call it this uh
7:06mall with all this knockoff stuff we're
7:09gonna go raid it next week we're gonna
7:10raid it next Wednesday right so what do
7:13you think happens Tuesday night
7:15everybody takes their stuff home they
7:17leave all the broken stuff that from the
7:19knockoffs there then they rush in
7:22Wednesday morning with cameras flashing
7:25and they go look we're getting all this
7:27illegal stuff and it's basically all
7:30broken trash that didn't work in the
7:32first place right and then they clear it
7:34out and they say hey that's good okay we
7:36really solve that problem there's no
7:37more illegal stuff in that in that
7:40building a week later everybody moves
7:42back to their stuff and they put the
7:43same stuff back on there and the way
7:46they go and so it just it just Cycles
7:48through right it's it's kind of a
7:50interesting thing so um one big problem
7:54that that company that um Western
7:56companies have had in China was movies
7:59they used to have DVD movies pirated
8:01movies all over the place I mean the WTO
8:05said that 95% of all movies in China
8:09were
8:11bootlegged I think that's a wrong number
8:13I think it's 100% you just they had
8:16these guys everywhere everywhere you go
8:18there's guys selling CDs or DVDs that
8:22they they they used their cell phone and
8:25they watched the movie and they recorded
8:27it and so you'll see people get up and
8:29walk by and the quality of those things
8:31was so low you really could you had to
8:33buy three or four copies to make sure
8:35you got one that worked um um but that
8:39don't really have that problem anymore
8:40because now everybody streams them so
8:42why would you pay five for a bootleg
8:46copy of something that you can't really
8:48understand when you can get a streaming
8:50service for $10 and watch multiple
8:52movies so there are ways to get around
8:55this but you just have to be kind of
8:58kind of uh careful
9:00now let's talk about the the the India
9:03now I like to think of China and India
9:05as brothers right they love each other
9:07they hate each other right so do you
9:10ever get in a fight with your brother or
9:13sister yeah right I've got a daughter
9:16and a son they fight every single day
9:19that is what they do right they still
9:21love each other they still play with
9:22each other but they fight right so give
9:25you an idea of what it's like between
9:26China and India they're just they're so
9:28much like brothers so they have a border
9:31right and they can't agree on where the
9:32border is right but they say okay here
9:35it's kind of here and everybody's happy
9:37well then one side says no the Border
9:39goes like this then the other side says
9:42really no the Border goes like this and
9:45then they get real mad at each other and
9:47they might even kill a few of each other
9:49usually they beat each other up the
9:50sticks and stuff like that right it's
9:52not real war but it's still it's kind of
9:54a little Skirmish and they go and then
9:57they realize we're arguing over a piece
10:00of rock that nobody can even live on
10:02this is silly for people to die for this
10:05so they say let's put it back to the to
10:07the the original borders and everybody
10:08says yes so they put it back to the
10:10original border and then one side says
10:12no here's the original
10:15border it goes through again and then
10:18they just have this ongoing low-level
10:20conflict but they're really interesting
10:22so China is the largest popul country in
10:25the world and the the Chinese government
10:29does not like that they would prefer to
10:32have fewer people as we talked about
10:34they they've implemented some policies
10:36for that India their brother see if your
10:41brother does something don't you want to
10:42do
10:43it yeah yeah yeah yeah you do you want
10:46it so China is the number one populist
10:49country in the world right the Indian
10:51government their goal is to beat
10:56China why you would want to beat China
10:58on this dubious thing I don't know but
11:01the Indian government says we're gonna
11:02beat China they actually encourage you
11:04to have kids in India second most
11:07populous country in the world and they
11:09will surpass China's population in
11:122030 now if you know anything about
11:14China you'll know that uh chairman ma
11:17he's basically the guy who created
11:19modern China said oh we need to have
11:22lots of people everybody says that that
11:25was pretty much a mistake that he made
11:28so he's very revered in China everybody
11:31loves terman ma but most people will say
11:35that one wasn't really quite thought
11:37through that was probably a mistake
11:39right India says now we want to be the
11:41most populous country because the more
11:43people you have the more influence you
11:44have and the more you can do which makes
11:48a little bit of
11:50sense but if you have 30 children is
11:54that is your family really as functional
11:56as if you had three children
12:00it's GNA be he can see some problems
12:02there can you so so China has one
12:07primary language it's Mandarin right
12:09most people in China speak Mandarin
12:12right now there are other langu multiple
12:14languages in China for instance my wife
12:17her mother doesn't speak Mandarin at all
12:20she speaks tuja doesn't know word of
12:23Mandarin right but most people know
12:26Mandarin in fact you can travel anywhere
12:28in China and I travel all over China and
12:31I I go with my friends and they all
12:33spoke Mandarin and we they could get us
12:35we could go anywhere and do anything you
12:36want there's always somebody who speaks
12:39mandar
12:41India has over 200 official
12:45languages and the 200 official languages
12:48that are spoken in up to 500 different
12:50dialects and a lot of people think well
12:53dialect dialect is an accent so you go
12:55down Texas and they talk like this and
12:58you say hey that's an dialect that's an
13:00accent a dialect is where two people
13:03speak the same language and can't
13:06understand each
13:08other yeah so multiple languages well
13:11how do you do business in India we're
13:13knowing 500 different languages uh it's
13:16actually quite quite easy because the
13:18official language for business is R
13:24roll
13:26English all contracts are written in
13:28English everything is done in English
13:30because India used to be under the
13:32British
13:34Empire and they established all the
13:36legal systems with with uh in English
13:39and everything's done in English it's
13:41the current it's a currency so and so
13:43I've traveled all through India you meet
13:46all these people and everybody speaks
13:48English especially in the uh the more
13:51educated areas so when you meet uh you
13:54meet government officials and Business
13:55Leaders their English is perfect they
13:58speak very good English and you go
14:00around and most people can speak some
14:03English and then if you get to to areas
14:05where people aren't very educated there
14:07are some people then you might have some
14:09troubles but then all you do is just
14:11find somebody who looks like they're
14:12more educated and ask them if they speak
14:15English and then they'll and you go do
14:17you speak English and then they'll say
14:20yes I speak English and they go oh great
14:22let can you help me and they will love
14:24to help you and it it works out really
14:26well now China is a communist country
14:31right it's Communist party right India
14:34is the world's largest democracy oh like
14:38the United States yep just like the
14:41United States oh well we should be
14:43really good
14:46friends we we're not enemies but we're
14:50not really friend they're kind of I
14:52think they're probably a little
14:53friendlier with Russia than they are
14:55with
14:56us yeah yeah yeah so it's the world's
14:59largest
15:01democracy uh with the United States we
15:03don't get along and the reason we don't
15:05get along quite so well with India is
15:08because India has something called a
15:12dialectic okay has something called a
15:14dialectic a dialectic means you don't
15:17need to know this word it's not a
15:18business word but it basically means you
15:19got in India you have two populations
15:22right two populations you have the
15:25Hindus and the Muslims right and don't
15:29get along very well that's an
15:31understatement so when you hear
15:32conflicts all over the world about you
15:34know so so the Israelis don't get along
15:37with the with the Arabs or something
15:38like that that's nothing compared to the
15:41world class hate that's going on in
15:44India and has been going on in India
15:46between these two groups forever and
15:47ever and ever and uh it's getting better
15:51but it's still it's still pervasive
15:55right so um I I was in a um Shai India
16:01which I'll show you some pictures here
16:02in a little bit and when I was in shanai
16:04I um asked our our driver I said are are
16:09you uh Hindu or
16:12Muslim he looked at me very
16:15unhappily and he says I'm Muslim I go
16:19okay that's that's good he says I said I
16:22I heard that that you that the Muslims
16:24and the Hindus don't get along he says
16:27we don't get along
16:29and I Saidi heard it's getting better he
16:32says it's not getting better right it's
16:36we we do not get along I talked to him
16:39for a while and I found out that I asked
16:41him I said are you Hindu or Muslim he
16:43thought I should know ahead of
16:45time that was a bad question to ask and
16:48I'm like wow okay what do you do on this
16:52well I found out I did some research I
16:53found it it's really so in the United
16:56States if a normal American so you go to
17:00go there and they're going to say what
17:02do you think of my enemy right so
17:03they're either Hindu or Muslim and it's
17:05hard to tell from my persp I couldn't
17:07tell just by talking to them if they're
17:09dressed how they're dressed or something
17:10so they will they'll they'll say what do
17:13you what do you think of my enemy and
17:15all Americans gonna say oh we love both
17:17of you right and then they're gonna say
17:19well then I hate
17:21you it's a hard answer right and so you
17:24saywell what do you do because you will
17:26be asked the question right what do you
17:28say and there's one answer that gets you
17:30by every single time and this is
17:32wonderful
17:34it's I'm a dumb American I don't even
17:36know what that means right we don't even
17:39talk about that where I don't know what
17:41a Hindu or Muslim I don't know anything
17:44I'm just dumb and if you admit to being
17:46dumb they'll go okay well let me tell
17:49you these guys are bad and here's why
17:52they're bad okay they that's what
17:55happened right but you got to be done
17:57you don't you don't even try to finesse
17:59it don't say well you both have some
18:01good
18:02point business wise it will not it will
18:06not go very well for
18:08you okay so India has a very heavy
18:12bureaucracy bureaucracy means
18:14rules
18:17so the government controls a lot of
18:20stuff you do in business so in China the
18:24government controls a lot of business
18:25stuff too but a lot of that's done by
18:27the Chinese government or for these
18:29these ancient rules but they got two two
18:33different levels of government so if you
18:34want to do business in in China you make
18:36a friend in the Communist party and life
18:38goes real well it doesn't work that way
18:40in India it doesn't it's the official
18:44policy of India says that it will take
18:4613 weeks to complete the
18:50paperwork to start a business or to
18:52operate a business in
18:55India I think it's closer to 13 months
18:59it takes forever they have more
19:02bureaucracy than almost any other
19:04country now the Indian government loves
19:06a few things right they love Green
19:09Technology they really do because China
19:12loves Green Technology China big on
19:14winds Farms big own solar panels India
19:16says well they're getting into it we're
19:19g to get into it too and they India's
19:22not doing it because of their love for
19:24the environment which we'll talk about
19:27that they're doing it to make
19:29money
19:31so if you want to start to get a
19:34business up and running in China the
19:37Indian government
19:39believes that the dream job of an Indian
19:43person is to work at a large Factory or
19:45call center that's considered the drain
19:48job right and if you're a medium-sized
19:51company and you want to go into India
19:54they don't want you and so you see a
19:57mediumsized company we've got we want to
19:59hire 50 people in India and start to
20:01produce this they go oh why do we want
20:04why would we want to have you here right
20:07but no medium-sized companies they don't
20:10have medium-sized companies what about
20:11small companies they don't have small
20:13companies either so you would say I want
20:15to hire 10
20:16people they don't want
20:19you say small companies don't small
20:22companies are one of the reasons the
20:23United States is so successful I'll show
20:25you that here in a little bit but like
20:2795% of all businesses in the united
20:29states are considered small businesses
20:31that's why we're rich because we have
20:33all these wonderful little small
20:34businesses going in India you can't do
20:37it now if you want to sell gum on the
20:39corner or pencils or something sure but
20:41if you want a medium or small-sized
20:43business in India they they really don't
20:45want you with the exception of Green
20:47Technology they will make an exception
20:49for you in that but otherwise it's
20:52really tough to do business in um in
20:56India to give you an idea so it say we
20:58say it takes 13 weeks no more like 13
21:02months to get the paper in paperwork in
21:04to start your business United States you
21:07can get pretty much most of your stuff
21:08done in a week right the biggest thing
21:11is going to be your business license
21:12we'll talk more about business
21:14license um but in Hong Kong it's two
21:18hours yeah Hong Kong seems like a little
21:22bit easier place to do business than
21:24India and it is
21:30so dream jobs you know working in a
21:32factory is a dream job they want to have
21:35you do that now one of the things in um
21:39doing business in India is you have to
21:41be ready for religious holidays they
21:44have a bunch of religious holidays in
21:45fact I think they're one of the most I
21:49know they're one of the most uh relig
21:51have one of the most highest rates of
21:53religious holidays in the world they
21:55might be number one I doubt if they're
21:56number one because there's always some
21:57kind of little Village or island or
22:00something that says well we're going to
22:01beat India and everybody you know how
22:04that works right but for major country
22:07they have religious holidays all the
22:08time so when you go to do business in
22:10India you are GNA get caught in the
22:13middle of a holiday and just be ready
22:15for it it's fun you get to celebrate you
22:17get to go and do all the fun stuff that
22:19everybody else is doing but it's going
22:23to add a couple of days to your trip so
22:26just have build in a couple couple of
22:28days to just go travel and have fun and
22:30enjoy their holidays because that's
22:32going to happen to you now uh when you
22:35think of India most people think of
22:37Mumbai right which is used to be called
22:41Bombay uh Mumbai been to Mumbai there
22:43are people it's just packed it's teeing
22:46it's it's a
22:49little uncomfortable because there's so
22:52many people there I mean it's just you
22:54ever been to like a I don't know a fair
22:58or mall shopping mall and there just
23:00everybody's just packed in there and
23:02you're that way for a couple hours
23:03imagine be that way every day just see
23:06it it's a it gets pretty interesting so
23:09Mumbai is just packed with people but
23:11it's beautiful there's some beautiful
23:12beautiful gardens and it's really
23:14interesting to see them do washing
23:16laundry yeah washing washing laundry is
23:19actually that's a big tourist thing to
23:22have people come and wash watch them
23:24wash their laundry so if you ever go to
23:26Mumbai you got to see that it's it's not
23:29what you
23:30expect okay but most of the people are
23:33farmers and live out in the out rural
23:36area and you drive across India and you
23:38see all these Farmers all over the place
23:41yep it's it's pretty common
23:45there India has the most dangerous
23:47transportation system in the
23:51world
23:53period period right it is the most
23:56dangerous place to fly an airplane it's
23:58a dangerous most dangerous place to walk
24:00it's the most dangerous place to drive
24:02it's the most dangerous place to take a
24:03train so we've all seen those videos
24:05where we have the dude sitting on top of
24:07the train as the train goes across India
24:10y I never saw that I've went I've went
24:14I've been all over India you know I
24:16zigzagged it right I never saw a train
24:20with people on top now they might have
24:22them I don't know I didn't see them
24:25right but it's still dangerous so I went
24:27to shenai
24:29chenai is the
24:31South East part of India it's by Sri
24:35Lanka it's right it's it's a huge City
24:37it's like 13 million people or something
24:39like that so went to
24:42shanai imagine a city like 13 million or
24:45something like it's a huge City they had
24:47no trash
24:49service now the air was clean the air
24:52was sparkling clean which we'll talk
24:54because of Green Technology they're
24:55really into Green Technology there
24:59just to make money not because they care
25:00of the environment and that there's just
25:03there's no trash service in the city now
25:05imagine a major city with no trash
25:08service what do you do with the
25:10trash if there's no trash service what
25:13do you do well you throw it out on the
25:15streets right so that you if you go to
25:19chenai you go to let's say you go to a a
25:22store right you walk in the store get
25:25what you want to get you walk out
25:27there's no sidewalks
25:28it's just trash I mean trash everywhere
25:32right so if you want to go
25:35someplace how do you go with all the
25:37trash when you walk in the
25:39streets yeah that gets really
25:43exciting and not exciting in a good way
25:45and so you have to basically people
25:48everybody's out there walking in the
25:49streets so you got these cars zooming by
25:51these tuck tuck zooming by and you're
25:52out walking in the streets and it
25:55gets nervous it gets scary
25:59okay also India has some of the most
26:02polluted countries cities in the world
26:05most people you say what's the where the
26:07where's the most pollution they'll say
26:09China right everybody's gonna say
26:11China's the most polluted and yes there
26:13are parts of China that are very
26:14polluted there parts of China that
26:16aren't polluted at all but some of the
26:18major cities can be pretty bad uh let's
26:22see how India competes with
26:26China so
26:2815 of the most polluted cities in the
26:31world are in ch let's look at the top
26:3420 so this
26:37guy says 15 of most polluted cities of
26:40the world are in China no way let's see
26:43who's number one Delhi I've been to
26:46Delhi I will show you pictures of Delhi
26:50it's very polluted yeah the the the
26:53iPhone when you go there you know you
26:54have your little weather app and you
26:56click on it my iPhone said the weather
27:00was Smoke said well it gets bad here in
27:03Seattle yeah what for a week two weeks
27:08no this is like smoke and it was it was
27:12as bad as anything you've ever seen here
27:15but consistently like that in
27:17Delhi then you got Patna so we got
27:21India India India
27:26India Pakistan Pakistan Pakistan
27:31Iran
27:32India India India Qatar India India
27:38India turkey Bangladesh India India
27:43India who's number
27:45one India and not necessarily is a good
27:48way is it no no no no now Agra okay B to
27:53Agra you've all seen pictures of Agra
27:56you've heard of something called the to
27:58Taj
27:59Mahal yep I've been to the Taj Mahal it
28:03does not look like those pictures you've
28:06seen the pictures it doesn't look like
28:08that you can't see it no you can't I was
28:12there and was it it was so Smoky you see
28:16the
28:17shadows and but you don't if you look at
28:20the pictures it's quite beautiful they
28:22picked a day when the wind came from the
28:24right direction just rained or something
28:25I don't know it doesn't look like that
28:27it's is just there's so much smoke you
28:30can't you've got to get pretty close to
28:32see it so you know the picture where
28:34it's got that beautiful little Pond that
28:35goes right up to the Taj Mahal you see
28:38the beautiful little Pond and then you
28:40see it looks almost like a cloud in the
28:43back and then it comes out of the smoke
28:46as you walk to it but that's just to
28:49give you an idea uh of what the
28:52pollution air pollution is like in in
28:55India okay uh here I took this
28:59picture from my hotel in Delhi in
29:042015 yeah right say well that's not so
29:08bad that was when it cleared
29:11up this was outside my hotel room well
29:15Andy it looks like that in Seattle
29:17sometimes this is com this is what it's
29:20like why do you think Deli got number
29:22one not because it's a you know what's
29:25weird is Deli is actually clean
29:28City doesn't look clean me now there's s
29:32everywhere but they have trash service
29:34they keep it really spotless I it's it's
29:38the there's no trash on the sidewalk or
29:40anything they keep it really really
29:41clean and yet you can't see the sun you
29:44can barely see the Sun out there yeah
29:47yeah pretty crazy so Deli is different
29:50than Shai right so Del's big city Shai's
29:53big city here's a picture shanai now I
29:56didn't take this picture but uh this was
29:58taken in 2015 when I was in Shai so Shai
30:03is this big city remember no trash
30:06service but very clean
30:08air so while I was in Shai the first
30:11couple days I was in Shai I'm running
30:13around having fun exploring the seeing
30:17all the temples and stuff like that it
30:18was really really cool then we had a
30:21monsoon
30:23hit the monsoon dropped over 3 feet of
30:28rain in one
30:31day
30:33oh also the monsoon caused their their
30:38reservoirs to fill up to full and they
30:42were worried about the dams were going
30:44to you just heard I just said dams again
30:46didn't I yeah had to had to get that in
30:50there again the
30:51dams they were worried that they were
30:53going to
30:55break so they decided to release
30:58a lot of water press to to lower the
31:01pressure so so now you have three feet
31:03of rain plus all this damn water coming
31:07down right and it flooded the city so
31:12this picture here is the
31:16airport yeah right airports are usually
31:19put kind of higher
31:22areas and it's still flooded just to
31:24give you an idea how much flooding they
31:27have see see all those little airplane
31:29those those Jets they were all
31:32submerged no they're
31:36underwater yeah what do you do with a
31:39jumbo jet that has been
31:43submerged you throw it
31:45away think how or you might try to save
31:49it I don't want to fly in that airplane
31:51yeah so think how much money that cost
31:55them okay so
31:58all this water comes in so I'm staying
32:00at a hotel now India is kind of
32:02interesting we'll find out in India your
32:04money goes a long ways in India but the
32:07problem is there are only two types of
32:10hotels super nice or super scary you
32:13don't want to go to those are the only
32:15two there's nothing else right so I
32:18stayed at a hotel and it was super nice
32:21and it wasn't that expens it cost like
32:22$225 to $250 a night which you say
32:26that's a lot of money not for a hotel
32:28like this this was the nicest hotel I've
32:31ever been to in my entire life so I'm
32:34staying but to give you an idea how nice
32:36it was Arnold Schwarzenegger had visited
32:38a few weeks earlier he stayed at that
32:41hotel right
32:43so real nice so I meant this in this
32:46hotel and the water just comes down down
32:48down well it's built on a hill so they
32:51had their own water source their own
32:53power
32:55source we had cable TV
32:58I'm watching movies I'm drinking beer
33:00I'm eating really really really good
33:03Indian food and I'm looking out my
33:08window and I'm seeing things like
33:12this see that's the those are
33:16buildings yeah right and this is in some
33:19of the higher streets most of the
33:20streets you could not get across you
33:22wouldn't be able to have somebody you'd
33:23have to swim and push them
33:26across why
33:28wow wow wow wow so had it was really
33:31weird so here I am I'm around people are
33:35dying all over the place I mean they're
33:37dying right this is bad and I'm drinking
33:41a beer with air conditioning watching a
33:43movie and I'm looking out my window and
33:45I see people who are dying and it's like
33:48really messes with your head to to be
33:51that opulent luxury in seeing people who
33:56they don't even have water now they have
33:58water you don't want to drink this water
33:59because what did we say about the trash
34:02service they didn't have a trash service
34:05so what do you think happened when these
34:07floods come
34:09through yeah mixes with the
34:13trash so think about what that water's
34:16like right so then it rain then the
34:19monsoon goes away and it got to be like
34:21a 100° so now you're flooded with
34:26100° no water
34:29no
34:30food it was bad right you did not want
34:33it it it was pretty
34:37scary so Shai gets 50% of their energy
34:42from Renewables they love renewable they
34:44love solar they do mostly solar there's
34:47it's not there's not much wind in that
34:48part of there so there's almost no air
34:51pollution all the air pollution comes
34:53from is the U
34:55uh uh air pollution comes from the cars
34:59that's about it the tuck
35:01tucks now now what's interesting about
35:04them is they really want Green
35:05Technology in fact they will give you a
35:09100% tax credit for green power
35:15Investments what what do that mean 100%
35:18tax credit which basically means if you
35:20go to build something that involves
35:22Green
35:23Technology they will pretty much you
35:26build it for free
35:29yeah and not because they're Tree
35:31Huggers or care about the environment or
35:33anything no it's to make
35:37money now next country we're gonna talk
35:39about is different it's different uh a
35:44lot of people call this country

38:56realize oh their employees and they're
38:58going to put on a little show for you
39:00they do that in this country they have
39:02big
39:03musicals and English is widely
39:06spoken they say what
39:09country could this
39:13be a lot of people say oh they come up
39:17with all these different places it's
39:18like no
39:21it's
39:23Singapore Singapore is uh Singapore is
39:27Disneyland land with the death penalty
39:28yeah yeah yeah so he says it's uh
39:31there's no crime where does it say no
39:34crime it's a safe it's safe there's no
39:37crime in Singapore there isn't right so
39:41uh there's no drugs they don't have
39:43illegal drugs they just don't have them
39:46say well they got have something they
39:47don't have them because when you go to
39:50Singapore whenever you travel to another
39:52country they always give you a little
39:54card a little card it's called an
39:56immigration card right every country has
39:58this right the one in Singapore when you
40:01write all your your immigration
40:04information on there you It also says in
40:07big bold red
40:10letters I understand that if I bring in
40:13illegal drugs there is only one penalty
40:15and that is the death penalty and then
40:17you have to sign your name next to
40:21it
40:23yeah and it is like you well they don't
40:26really they enforce it right in fact not
40:29very long ago this uh woman went into
40:32Disneyland with a piece of marijuana oh
40:36sorry piece of heroin right the
40:41heroin was about as big as this
40:44cap right right so tiny tiny Mount just
40:50dead done bam is this yours yep bam
40:55right they don't they don't care around
40:57right so you don't bring in illegal they
41:00just don't have it yeah well let's look
41:03at Disneyland
41:09here so here's one of the sky
41:13trams yeah doesn't this look like
41:16doesn't this look like
41:20Disneyland yeah yeah it it
41:23does yeah so they they've got the
41:28want that one yeah pretty crazy so
41:32English is the the major language so it
41:34used to be part of Malaysia and in the
41:38mid-60s they broke off and they said we
41:40want to be our own country it's got
41:42strong British Roots so there's a lot of
41:43British influence in U uh Singapore um
41:48it's kind of like New York City New York
41:51City is big enough that it could be its
41:54own country New York city is bigger than
41:56a lot of other countries right Iceland
41:58for example way bigger than
42:00Iceland Singapore was part of Malaysia
42:03and then just they just said we don't
42:05want to be part of Malaysia anymore and
42:06then they just broke off that's how it
42:08happened so if New York City wants to
42:10break off they'll just do exactly what
42:13they happen now uh the official language
42:17is English
42:20although they don't call it English they
42:22call it
42:24Singlish it is English but
42:28it's a little different English than
42:30you're used to normally hearing it's
42:33like you go into London if you've ever
42:35been to London or watch British
42:36television you hear him talk like this
42:38and text you all understand what was
42:40saying right and and you do have if you
42:43listen if you watch a British movie and
42:44they're talking that way at the very
42:46beginning you go what's that coming out
42:48of their mouth at the end of the movie
42:50you know exactly what they're saying
42:52it's the same thing in in um Singapore
42:55when you first get there it takes a
42:56while um but then you figure it out now
42:59they have other languages that are
43:00spoken in Singapore but English is the
43:02official language they're their uh
43:06government system they tell you that
43:07they are a
43:09democracy that is a complete lie they
43:13are not a democracy they're what's
43:15called a benevolent
43:17dictatorship benevolent means good now
43:20most dictators are bad right we all you
43:22hear about them all over the world
43:24usually that's a bad thing but think
43:26about it what is if you got a
43:29dictator who really cared and tried to
43:31do a good job and wasn't greedy and all
43:34they wanted to do was help their people
43:36that wouldn't be a bad system would it
43:39because they can get things done faster
43:41they can make it happen there's a lot of
43:43advantages to that there's disadvantages
43:45we know but
43:46advantages the problem is how do you
43:48find this guy how do you find a
43:50benevolent
43:51dictatorship well Singapore came pretty
43:54close and his name was LE you which you
43:56don't care he gets old his son's not
43:59quite young enough not quite old enough
44:01to take a spot so they get a get get a
44:03caretaker person for a few years then
44:05his son becomes dictator everybody gets
44:08to vote everybody has to vote voting is
44:09required and you have one choice on the
44:13ballot dictatorship yeah people say well
44:17I don't want to go to Singapore actually
44:18you do it is
44:20safe you don't have to worry about your
44:22stuff disappearing you put your stuff in
44:23a
44:24warehouse it is safe they don't have any
44:31crime do give me an idea how little
44:34crime they
44:35have there was a young American
44:38boy who was like 14 or 15 years old he
44:42went to Singapore with his parents on
44:45his parents were doing business in
44:47Singapore and he got bored so he bought
44:50a can of spray paint you know spray
44:54paint now what trouble could a little
44:5815-year-old boy get into with a can of
45:01spray paint yep so he sprays the cars
45:04right they caught him of
45:07course how do you think he was
45:11punished no they didn't kill him no no
45:14no they're they're not they're they're
45:16civilized they're very they only killed
45:18people really only way he killed is
45:20drugs right he got three Strokes of the
45:23cane you oh that's not so bad
45:27yes it is so stroke of the cane first
45:31off it's not a little thing it's a
45:34bamboo hole it's like six feet long and
45:38it's been soaked in water so it's a
45:39little flexible not much but a little
45:42bit then if you're a man a boy or guy
45:47whatever you take off your shirt and you
45:48lean against the wall right if you're a
45:51woman you lift up your shirt so you
45:53expose your
45:54back then musclean comes up there with
45:58this Big Bamboo Pole right and he is
46:01very good at his job right he takes it
46:04he doesn't go he
46:08goes
46:09boom hits the kid on the back exposed
46:14flesh now to give you an idea of the
46:16force of this thing it it it split the
46:19meat in his back opened up so he's got a
46:22big gash in his back right now it's
46:25flexible so it didn't break his back
46:27just hurt the meat right so don't worry
46:30Singapore has an excellent medical
46:32system they take him to the hospital
46:36they sew him up they give him two weeks
46:39to recover then he gets stroke number
46:43two now this guy is very good at his
46:48job so he does the same thing again and
46:53he hits he's very good he hits the kid
46:56at the exact same place he h him
46:59before yeah rips open the meat don't
47:03worry Singapore has excellent medical
47:07system they take him back to the
47:09hospital sew him up give him two weeks
47:12to recover then he gets stroke number
47:16three that the guy who does it is very
47:19good at his
47:23job hits him again breaks it open and
47:26send him in the hospital don't worry
47:27they have excellent medical care right
47:29and then they sew him up let him stay
47:31for two weeks to recover and then they
47:33deport he in
47:35his yeah there's no crime in
47:38Singapore there's no I mean there might
47:40be a little you might maybe a pickpocket
47:41here and now but it's there's it's weird
47:46you can walk through Singapore late at
47:48night and you're safe you're not you
47:51know you sometimes you sometimes you
47:53like go to Country Places you're at nine
47:55and like a little scary
47:57not in Singapore Singapore has three
47:59cultures there's Chinese Malaysian and
48:02Indian right there three cultures now of
48:06these three cultures that Singapore has
48:08one problem everybody wants to live
48:11there and people say I don't want to
48:13live there really show me a country
48:16where everybody has food housing
48:19education they have almost 100% literacy
48:21basically the only people who cannot
48:23read or the people who don't have eyes
48:25or have brain damages something
48:27everybody can read everybody gets School
48:29everybody gets medical
48:31care it's not a bad place to be tell me
48:34another place in the world where you
48:35have all those
48:38benefits yeah yeah I heard people say
48:41and I still hear people say this they
48:44well you can't chew gum in Singapore
48:46right they won't let you chew
48:48gum that is wrong you can chew gum in
48:51Singapore right I bought gum at a
48:557-Eleven in sing apore you can you still
48:58hear people say you can't now there was
49:00a while where they said you couldn't
49:01have chewing gum because what do people
49:02do with their chewing gum when they're
49:03finished sometimes they put it under the
49:05table which is just three kinds of gross
49:08but people do that and so the leader of
49:10Singapore says no gum and then they said
49:13well what about chewing gum that helps
49:14us with tobacco stop smoking cigarettes
49:17I says okay you can get that and then
49:19then so now you can have gum but guess
49:21what you do with your gum when you're
49:22finished with it you throw it away in
49:25the trash can right they have clear
49:27rules and their rules are very very
49:29clear but but and you know them there's
49:31no surprises you don't say I didn't know
49:33I couldn't stick gum under the there's
49:35no surprises but they enforce them for
49:38instance here's some of them they have a
49:40walk you know those signs say when you
49:42want across the street says walk and
49:43don't walk in the United States if it
49:47says don't walk we
49:48run right there you don't walk because
49:52it's about a $500 F they love that $500
49:54number so it's $500 fine if you get
49:57caught right if you use public toilets
50:01they expect you to flush the toilet when
50:03you're
50:04finished you say okay sure if you don't
50:09flush the toilet it is a $500 fine you
50:16say how are they going to tell if I
50:18flush the toilet or
50:21not
50:23no yep potty cams
50:27yep now there's all sorts of bad jokes I
50:29can say with this one and I'm not going
50:31to you're safe on that but potty
50:35cans yeah yeah by the way they've taken
50:38away most of potty cams they don't very
50:40few potty cams are still left in
50:41Singapore because they just replaced it
50:43it's a lot cheaper just to replace it
50:45with an automatic flush toilet isn't
50:47it but in the
50:50meantime so you got three groups of
50:52people they have problems everybody
50:54wants to live on Singapore so they got
50:56how you it's a tiny island nation right
50:59there's not enough room so they buy dirt
51:02from Malaysia to build their Island and
51:04so when I was in Singapore I stayed at
51:08this hotel and it was all reclaimed Land
51:10from the sea and it
51:12looked like belly College it looked like
51:15normal it's just flat it just it looked
51:17like just normal land it was all I
51:18looked in an older map and I could see
51:20that I was where I was standing should
51:22have been underwater but they they're
51:24literally built but they still they have
51:25too many people
51:27so they decided we want to try to slow
51:30down our population
51:33growth now they theyve got Chinese
51:35Malaysians and
51:36Indians which of these three is familiar
51:39with the concept of population
51:41growth the Chinese the Malaysians and
51:45the Indians that's not part of their
51:47culture so the Singaporean government
51:49says hey stop having so many babies the
51:52Chinese said well we know how that works
51:54sir right the Malaysians and the Indians
51:56said no right government can't tell us
52:00how many kids to have now you got a
52:03problem here under the Singaporean
52:06Constitution you have
52:08three three cultures three groups of
52:12people Singapore is Chinese Malaysian
52:15and India they're not one or the other
52:18they are all three to be one of one of
52:20those three is to be Singaporean that's
52:23and they're very proud of being
52:24Singaporean but they're Constitution
52:27says they cannot separate between the
52:30three if you're one of three they can't
52:32treat you
52:33differently so they got a problem here
52:36right they started getting more
52:37Malaysians and more Indians and Po
52:40Chinese population starts to go down now
52:42they don't want they don't want their
52:44ratios changeed they want to keep it
52:46like it is they like their country you
52:48go to Singapore you will see why they
52:49like their country they don't want to
52:51change they don't want more Indians they
52:52don't want fewer Indians they don't want
52:53so they said they kept they said
52:55Malaysians Indians stop having babies
52:57and they
52:58go so then the Chinese government the
53:01Singaporean government said this isn't
53:04working our ratios are starting to
53:05change so let's have everybody have lots
53:09of kids the Indians and the Malaysians
53:11said we're having whatever kids we want
53:14to do government can't tell us the
53:15Chinese said okay we'll have so they
53:18actually the government actually
53:20encourages High birth
53:22rates it gets kind of weird how they do
53:25that you got to go to sing to see this
53:27so if you're watching television there
53:29will be an ad on television you'll see
53:31it and it says have lots of children
53:34when you're
53:35young big families are fun so TV
53:39commercial telling you to have children
53:41wait it gets even
53:42better if you're living in Singapore and
53:46you're single in
53:49Singapore and you're not committed in a
53:51committed relationship in Singapore and
53:53you're at home like on a Friday night
53:55there will probably be a knock at your
53:59door and then you open the door and
54:01there'll be somebody standing there and
54:03they say
54:04hi I'm your government sponsored blind
54:09date our government thinks that you and
54:11I would be a cute couple let's go out on
54:13a
54:14date yeah the government set you up with
54:16blind date and you gotta go right now
54:19you get a couple of of of of a nose you
54:23can say so if somebody comes up and
54:25they're really gross and not your right
54:27you can say
54:28no but you only get a few of those you
54:33only get to say no a few times and so
54:35you want to save your nose for the
54:37really creepy people that you don't want
54:39to go out with so if they're even
54:41tolerable you go out with it now the
54:42government pays for your date it's nice
54:45but it's
54:48still it's still kind of
54:51weird Okay um uh if you you when you're
54:56doing business in Singapore you need to
54:58say that you're going to help them be
54:59more Singaporean I don't really know
55:01what that means but when you're going
55:04through all the government regulations
55:05and stuff if you if you say this is
55:07Singaporean you just throw that word in
55:09there it just opens doors it's it's just
55:12really really kind of kind of strange
55:14now it's uh it's a little Island right
55:17and they don't get enough rain so they
55:20buy raw water from
55:22Malaysia oh so they they buy dirt from
55:25Malaysia and they buy water from
55:28Malaysia now this water isn't very good
55:30so then they filter the
55:32water use that water to for their own
55:36purposes but they also make more
55:40filtered water than they
55:42use so they take the filtered water sell
55:46it back to Malaysia and make a
55:49profit did you just catch that so
55:52they're making money by not having
55:55enough water
55:57I mean they're really it's it's a super
55:59high-tech place it's it's really
56:00interesting uh if you go to the uh the
56:03docks you know you go to the where
56:06they're unloading the big container
56:07ships so if you go to them in Seattle
56:09you'll see people sitting in the truck
56:11waiting and wait it's waiting for their
56:13turn to get up so they can unload the
56:14container ship not in Singapore in
56:18Singapore the truck driver never stops
56:21he drives through he looks at a scanner
56:24the scanner scans his eye and identifies
56:29who he is as he's driving the truck down
56:32down the road so goes like this it
56:35probably looks at your license plate and
56:36then looks at your eyes to make sure
56:38that're the same color or what I don't
56:40know how it works but it goes it
56:42identifies who you are then little
56:46lights in front of you light up and
56:48shows you which boat to go which ship to
56:50go to you pull into that
56:53ship and you slow down and they put the
56:56container on your truck as you slow down
57:00they bolt it on to your trailer and then
57:02you follow the lights off to where
57:04you're supposed to go so there's no
57:06idling there's no sitting it's con think
57:09how efficient that is it's one of the
57:11largest ports in the world it's usually
57:13it's in the top three Hong Kong
57:15sometimes beats it sometimes doesn't it
57:17depends on how you measure it it's still
57:19a big port and it's it's amazing how it
57:23works um it's sinfully located
57:27so it's a safe place to store your goods
57:29and it's not that hard to get them to
57:31all over all over that the part of the
57:33world I mean you have over half the
57:35world's population within six- hour
57:37flight I mean it's centrally located
57:40it's safe very low
57:42taxes why low taxes because they don't
57:44have to worry about crime crime you pay
57:47a lot for they having those policemen
57:48out there don't you now they have
57:49policemen there but not like we do they
57:53don't have as many and yet it's
57:54perfectly safe wow now you're not
57:58allowed to trash talk to leader when
57:59you're in Singapore here if you say I
58:01don't like our president people say yeah
58:03okay shut up right but they there's
58:05nothing wrong with it in
58:07Singapore you don't do that you say you
58:10say so if you go to Singapore you talk
58:11to somebody what do you think of your
58:12government oh I love it it's the best
58:14government in the world that's all that
58:17they will tell you now with one
58:19exception taxis you get in a taxi they
58:24will tell you everything they'll say
58:26what's good about it what's bad about it
58:28taxes have come it was the only area I
58:31could get into where people would
58:33actually tell me besides it's wonderful
58:36right it's kind of like Disneyland if
58:37you go to Disneyland and ask an employee
58:39what they think about Disneyland they
58:40always go oh we love this places even if
58:42they hate it they're always gonna say
58:45that same thing here in in a
58:50Singapore so let's look at doing
58:54business this this is doing business
58:57around the world so you look the old
58:59ranking was 79 and 100 70 China was
59:0479th India was
59:14100 now this is done by the World Bank
59:17as you can see it's done by the World
59:19Bank so World Bank is not political
59:22right so uh World
59:24Bank so let's see what countries are the
59:27easiest this ranks them as ease number
59:30one is New Zealand yeah why New Zealand
59:32is number one on that I don't really
59:37know
59:38um um but it is it's and it's been there
59:42for about the last five years before
59:45it's just shot up recently but go back
59:4710 years it wasn't up there it was
59:50wasn't bad but it wasn't as high number
59:52two is Singapore number three is Hong
59:55Kong right and Hong Kong and Singapore
59:58flip back and forth depending on what's
1:00:00happening this year um you know Hong
1:00:03Kong they got some protests going on it
1:00:05makes a little bit more difficult to do
1:00:07but Hong Kong's still real easy to to do
1:00:10business the thing is though New Zealand
1:00:14it's a small country there aren't very
1:00:16many people in New Zealand got a lot of
1:00:19land but you've been to Auckland it's
1:00:21not a big city it's like Tacoma you know
1:00:25Singapore a city but it's still you
1:00:28can't compare right Hong Kong is a city
1:00:31right Denmark okay Denmark's got some
1:00:34more people uh it's not a city but you
1:00:37can't compare Denmark to China you just
1:00:40can't right Korea this is South Korea in
1:00:43case you didn't
1:00:44know yeah Korea is number five okay
1:00:47there's a lot of people there but you
1:00:49can't compare them to China or the
1:00:51United States United States number
1:00:54six that's pretty good good that's
1:00:57pretty good considering that we're like
1:00:58the third biggest country in the world
1:01:01population
1:01:03wise that's pretty that means that it's
1:01:06pretty easy to do business here okay and
1:01:08then we go down we see all The Usual
1:01:11Suspects Sweden
1:01:15Australia China no
1:01:20Taiwan
1:01:22Finland where's China
1:01:26where's come come on China there it is

1:02:0963 India's getting better only if you
1:02:13include Green Technology if you don't
1:02:15talk about Green Technology they're Dro
1:02:17way down the list but that is an
1:02:20entrance into
1:02:24India okay now where is it hard to do
1:02:30business so lonstein lonstein is not
1:02:33tough to do business it's just not on
1:02:35the on the on the they don't have data
1:02:37for it so some of these should not be
1:02:40too too surprising Venezuela yeah that's
1:02:44a that place is it's a failed country
1:02:46right now it's a failed government Yemen
1:02:49they're at War it's a failed government
1:02:50Libya
1:02:52failed uh all these countries these
1:02:55shouldn't be that
1:02:58surprising you know these are the places
1:03:00where it's really tough to do business
1:03:03the the lowest of these countries that
1:03:05I've been to is
1:03:06Madagascar you can't do business in
1:03:08Madagascar you can't you can do uh
1:03:12holidays right so you can go out to
1:03:14where the there still is a little bit of
1:03:16a jungle and you can put some some
1:03:19luxury Huts up and uh on the beach and
1:03:23been to those and they're fun but
1:03:26you can't do business you go to the big
1:03:28cities it's just you're you you say how
1:03:33does this how do people get their food
1:03:35and I talked to some people and this one
1:03:37guy was had started up a business with
1:03:40making a school to teach people how to
1:03:42read
1:03:43English and he actually got a grant from
1:03:46the United Nations uh and he had to
1:03:49close it because he couldn't he couldn't
1:03:51make it work you
1:03:53know so
1:03:56those are our that's doing business now
1:03:58that's just kind of interesting we said
1:03:59Singapore Singapore is very uh safe
1:04:04place to store your
1:04:05goods yeah let's see so this is
1:04:07transparent International Transparency
1:04:10International is also considered
1:04:13non-political uh and this is where they
1:04:15rank uh levels of
1:04:19corruption right so what countries are
1:04:22corrupt and what countries aren't
1:04:24corrupt
1:04:26because corruption messes with you okay
1:04:28come on where is it oh where's the
1:04:33ranking I don't want a
1:04:37video
1:04:38they here results let's see if that
1:04:43works yeah here we
1:04:46go so these list the countries that are
1:04:49most corrupt to and least
1:04:53corrupt up here a little bit
1:04:56so if you look Canada one of the least
1:04:59corrupt countries in the world it's and
1:05:01it is it's it's very honest you can say
1:05:04I don't like the the Canadian government
1:05:06well they're honest Iceland honest
1:05:10northern European countries very honest
1:05:13they pay their taxes they do everything
1:05:15Southern European countries oh
