On Day 39, I checked out at night and took Greyhound bus from Flagstaff, AZ to Omaha, NE. I arrived Omaha, NE on the early morning of Day 40.
After checking in the host's home in the early morning, I had a short sleep.
It was a pleasant hair cut done by circa 80 years old gentleman. Very careful and neat.
After that, I went to CenturyLink Centre, collecting my shareholder pass there. It is second time for Berkshire Hathaway to open the exhibition hall on the day before shareholder meeting.
These are two out of three books I bought since they are not sold in Singapore. I truly enjoy these books and inspire me a lot.
I realised these three adults are Warren Buffett's children.
After that, I took my courage to meet strangers at meet up events in Omaha.
End of Day 40.
