International Real Estate Market Is Hot Option for IRA Investments   By Sharon Faiola Petersen International Real Estate Market Is Hot Option for IRA Investments - Many real estate investors are side-stepping the local market by investing in foreign real estate . . . and they’re doing so with their IRAs   The Casey Files - Crisis?

A Ramble in South East Asia - A Ramble in South East Asia - They were in their late 50s, their previous lives in Canada were reduced to a non-living pension, they had sold and given away most of their possessions and they were now living from two backpacks… and loving it!  Their plan was to spend a month each in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos before returning to Yunnan province in China's southwest to look for more teaching work.  They had little knowledge of those countries outside of their guidebooks and no knowledge of the languages they encountered.  Their little bit of Mandarin wasn't much help, but they soon found how far a smile and a bit of mime can go.  They wandered the former Indochina from north to south then back, falling in love with the cuisine of Hanoi and Vientianne, the glorious beaches on the South China Sea, the staggering ruins of Angkor Wat and Wat Phu Champasak, and the warmth of the climate and the people everywhere.  They also found out how easy it is to travel and live cheaply.  They eschewed tourist hotels and big cities for the most part (unless they had an Old Quarter), stayed in local guesthouses (some lovely and some less so), and used local transportation, sharing seats with rural folk and chickens.  They never booked ahead.  They came to consider $10 a night to be expensive.  In February of 2004, after teaching English in China for a year, Ron Hannah and his partner Ruth Forbes crossed the border into Vietnam, seeking adventure and fleeing the coldest winter in fifty years.  They met peasants and monks, students and fellow wanderers, and they spent an unexpected three weeks in Thailand without even the benefit of a guidebook.  For these travelers, this was a time of growing perceptions of the nature of mankind and of global interdependence and vulnerability.  It is an experience from which everyone who reads this eBook will gain.
