Treasure
Islands in the Crystal-Clear Med—An Overview of Malta’s Property Market
- From the air, the
Maltese archipelago resembles tiny stepping stones that some ancient god
scattered across the Mediterranean. Since antiquity, these outposts have
served as a bridge linking southern Italy to North Africa—and Western Europe
to the Middle East. They were inhabited way before St. Paul was shipwrecked
on Malta’s western shore and early Christians burrowed under sun-baked
rocks to build catacombs for their dead.

Culture Shock: Even If You Love It, It Isn’t Easy |

Jennifer Miller

Expat
Culture Shock: Even If You Love It, It Isn’t Easy - When
my husband I and I began to plan our move from the U.S. to Dominica in
the West Indies, I read a couple of books on culture shock. I had
experienced a mild case of this in Canada during the 70s. Canada was just
different enough from the U.S. that I was acutely aware of feeling like
an outsider. From that experience, I knew there would be adjustments and
discomfort with a cross-cultural move. I suspected my earlier Canadian
culture shock would pale compared to a move to Dominica. Yep, was
I right!

 For
a long term investment in the "greenest" jewel of the Caribbean, take a
look at the little known island called the Commonwealth of Dominica.
Half way along the curved necklace of islands comprising the Windward Islands
of the Eastern Caribbean basks a mountainous rock of 290 sq miles (750
sq km). At longitude 61º 20W, and latitude 15º 25N, Dominica
is a land of steep mountains and cliffs plummeting straight into the blue
Caribbean sea on the western side and the grey Atlantic on the eastern.
Rising at the highest point to Mt. Diablotin at 4,747 ft. (1,447m), this
is a country of raw beauty, rugged headlands and moody mountains, their
peaks often buried in cloud - Click

| The author
of this No-Nonsense
Expats Guide to Asian Sales and Marketing has spent more than 25
years in China trade and Asian sales and marketing generally, and is based
in Kuala Lumpur where he has been for 7 years now. He has set up a number
of American and European companies out there, and has had great success
at doing it, so what he has to say will be of interest to anyone who has
an interest in entering the Asian market. He focuses on the day-to-day
aspects of running a foreign office from a Stateside or European location,
how to handle business meetings, establish distribution channels, deal
with "entertainment" and the inescapable phenomenon of the bribe. This
report is a compliation of 20 years of first hand experience. |
| Privacy - Your most important
possession - They've Declared War on Your Wealth & Your Privacy
..and You Could be the Next Innocent Victim! - The
Privacy Report - Regain Lost Privacy With The Lifeboat Strategy - Mark
Nestmann was one of the people whose work I consulted when writing the
book version of Escape From America. The ongoing erosion of privacy in
the United States is the most important issue facing Americans today.
Without privacy, we have nothing, or less than nothing. Privacy is a human
imperative because privacy of self is an important biological necessity
of a sane and stable sense of self. It is a scientific fact that a rational
person cannot have their autonomous sense of self (their sense of privacy
of self,) compromised and still function as a healthy individual.
Thinking and creativity require the capacity to make independent judgments,
an invasion of our privacy such as that going on in America today violates
that capacity. It is more than important to reclaim our privacy, it is
a biological necessity. Those who want to know about privacy and how to
regain it turn to Mark Nestmann; he is the authority on issues of privacy,
and he has a wide range of solutions to our loss of privacy problems. |

Your Foreign Bank Accounts or Go to Jail |

By Don D. Nelson,

Report
Your Foreign Bank Accounts or Go to Jail - In the
historical past, Americans living and working abroad would open bank
accounts with a local bank in whatever country they were living and working,
and if it earned any interest at all would never show it on their U.S.
income tax return. This was part of the unofficial benefits
of living in outside of the U.S. and everyone thought it was fun.
Then things started to change.

Shares in a Volatile Stock Market - Gold,
like all the major financial markets, has been on something of a wild ride
recently. While here at Casey Research, we remain extremely
bullish on gold, it is important, even critical, to keep in mind that bull
markets make anyone on the right side of the trade think they are smarter

Your Privacy Is Worth Saving |

By Erika Nolan

Why
Your Privacy Is Worth Saving - They're watching you
... especially your money! As far as the politicians are concerned, privacy
is a luxury that you can do without in the name of national security.
But that doesn't mean you should be so quick to give up your privacy rights.
It means you should fight harder to secure and protect it.

Lost Privacy With The Lifeboat Strategy -Identity Thieves, Greedy Lawyers

Privacy ..and You Could be the Next Innocent Victim!
YOU CAN'T
BE INNOCENT... THE COMPUTER FOUND YOU GUILTY!
Your bank
or broker will never tell you, but every financial transaction you conduct--deposits,
withdrawals, credit card, currency conversion through a US bank or broker--
helps create a financial profile of YOU. And the software these computers
used are programmed to identify suspicious transactions. If your account
activity is deemed suspicious, you'll never know until your cash is frozen
or you're arrested, because US law now makes it a crime to tell you if
you're under suspicion. One mistake--withdrawing too much cash, writing
a check to the "wrong" person, etc.--and you could be the next faceless
victim.
But you can
still legally create international "lifeboats" of wealth and privacy that
are practically invulnerable to snooping or confiscation. In a moment,
I'll show you how. And, I'll also show you six simple steps you can take
to protect your wealth and privacy, starting today

Magazine - Escape
Artist Travel Magazine - Online January 2007 ~ The travel magazine
with a point of view; a world-view. EscapeArtist Travel Magazine is about
more than travel; it is about personal exploration through world travel.
EscapeArtist Travel is for the independent traveler passionately seeking
an interactive cultural experience, meeting local people, examining cultural
conditions and exploring unknown lands. A Travel Magazine with an attitude
- Yes; our travel magazine has an attitude, slighty iconoclastic, defintely
cutting edge, and willing to take risks, both in attitude and in content.
We're going to tell you a host of valuable travel tricks - - as self-aware
independent travelers we've learned how to travel where we want and how
we want, totally free from meaningless and unnecessary constraints - -
constraints that may serve the interests of politicians, snoops, and purloiners
with vested interests, but which do nothing to serve your personal, intellectual,
financial and psychological best interest. When we travel, and we
travel often, we travel using methods not written about in the Sunday travel
section of your local newspaper. It's not some sort of super secret
insiders information we're talking about; and it certainly isn't illegal;
it is just the type of information that doesn't serve the interests of
those who want to control your life, so it hasn't been widely disseminated.
Our new magazine also includes a repertoire of new resources recently added
to our website based around Travel In The 21st Century. |
