Miscellaneous Ramblings – 3/22/2008

because there’s too much cash to count by hand

lol.... ass.

John you were trying to say that you earn a lot but in fact you did really earn a lot. :grin:

The easter egg hunt is a slick idea.

I am wondering what was the source of the person when he mentioned this is how the money is count in Pakistan and other parts of Turkey because I am from Pakistan and I know that bankers don't count money like that ..

If i will have that much money i will count it in every possible way.

So you big guys are supporting Gyutae for his carzy contest haan

hahaha, what a cool clip! i think the indian way is the most slick! do you really have a cash counter those are really really expensive! :twisted:

Very cool video. I am going to have to try some of these in front of peeps!

John, thank u so much for your generous blogging guides at all times.
You've been so wonderful

lol, I count my money as the last manner

Africans count as the first ones i.e japan and the japan counts more or less like the british (mega slow!).

In the service industry, such as waiters in restaurants, if you are giving money back to the boss or cash register, you count the money in the "outward" direction, facing away from you.

If you are counting your tips at the end of the night, you count the bills "towards" you.

The money goes in the direction of the receiver.

Not sure how they count the loonies and toonies...

I'd like to with the StumbleUpon traffic course. I'll have to check out the Easter egg contest.

Looking forward to reading the write up about you in the Richmond News.

Excatly , I need the cash to figure out how I count it :P

What if you don't have any cash to count?

I posted the same video on my blog too almost 6hrs ago and saw this post here... john i was first this time... and nice to see that i thought the same way the john thoughy :grin:

that's pretty funny I count it just the way I should, not sure about the other countries but I know asia and the US are dead on.

Very interesting video! I didn't know that people counted money in such different ways.

The WTW contest is totally bad now in my opinion. It got way too inflated to the point that people are losing interest because they feel like they cannot win. This is a perfect example of how not to run a blog site. :neutral:

In India, may do not count the money. it will be in bags because of the inflation. so you pay in one bag or two if you wanna buy big houses or a car.

Africans don't count like that!!! In Africa, 5 year olds are hardened entrepreneurs and they would laugh if someone (me for example) counted so slow!

John, thank you very much for all your inspiring articles. You have been of great help to new bloggers like me. While wishing you more power to your elbow (& pen!), I look forward to partnering with you as I continue in my blogger's journey.
Best regards.

Thanks for sharing the news. That WTW contest is getting crazier and crazier as the month goes on... Thanks for sharing that Easter Egg contest and the $ counting clip.

thats a cool video. I was thinking where do u get all this ideas from?

...Your soon-to-be-released StumbleUpon traffic course...? :-)

Haha, interesting vid. =)

I work at a bank, and that video is spot on! There are an infinite number of ways people like to count their cash, and a lot of people complain that the bills that come out of our machine aren't all facing the same way (as in the queen's head face up and on the right on our 20 dollar bills). Of all the things to complain about!!!!

I've just watched the video. Actually we, Eastern European people count the money like Japanese people (the first example in the video), but we do it much faster. It would take a year to count 1 million Hungarian Forints (approximately: 6000 USD) with that speed. :D Anyway, I really like this video, it's interesting.

I don't get to count any cash. Everything is either direct deposited, or paypal. So I guess I just look at the number on the ATM receipt, or online. Either that or my website isn't making money like John Chow. So pretty pretty please visit my site and check it out! JC bathes in his money.

BTW - I was waiting for another misc rambling post. Cant wait till your end of money figures.

Lol, too much money...to food :)

-Mike

My dad counts money like the second way shown :razz: I think its pretty coool.

Interesting video!

Now I'll be heading over to join that Easter egg hunt. What a great idea!
