Lakefront Real Estate in Patagonia - Lakefront Real Estate in Patagonia - Argentina used to be one of the most expensive countries, now it is one of the most affordable places to travel and invest in. The percentage of foreign visitors has at least tripled compared to last year, and most of them bring along a lot of cash to burn. Most late model SUV´s from Chile seem to be on the road in Bariloche and San Martin de los Andes these days. You can tell without even looking at the license plates, Chileans mostly cruise along the scenic roads at 40 km/hour (20 mph) while Argentines prefer twice that speed. No wonder Chileans make up 70% of foreign visitors , they live just on the other side of the Andes. But for the last twelve years, during the Peso-US dollar peg, most of them could only dream about sunny Argentine Patagonia. Now they are driving along like sleepwalkers, some are even filming while driving, and they often extend their stay for as long as possible..

Living In Monaco - Real Estate In Monaco - Living In Monaco - Real Estate In Monaco - To gain residency in Monaco you need to be able to commit yourself to live there for six months a year (not too difficult a task!) and as well as having a property deed to show the residency officials a bank certificate from one of Monaco’s banks showing a deposit has been made is also needed. Many of the banks ask for 400,000 Euros, but for those in the know some will accept 100,000. And the good news is that you’re free to use that money how you want once residency is granted, and can be taken out of Monaco without restriction....
Building a Straw Bale House in the Baja
Building a Straw Bale House in the Baja -Building a Straw Bale House in the Baja - I got started with a foundation and storage building three months on my 80x80 lot after flopping trying to do the same project in the USA.  The lot in Mexico cost $1800 with septic in, the foundation was $1500, the storage building about $500.  There the project stood for three years while I tried to jump start my life again.  After I remarried I put $6000 together and that was enough to hire a local Mexican contractor to raise walls, stucco the inside and outside, and instlall window and door frames. I was less than $10,000 into the project and was at roof level

Offshore Commentary

Doug Casey Looks At Mongolia: Local Color - Foreign Color - Placer Gold - And The Mongolian Stock Exchange - Doug Casey On Mongolia - With their camel hair batting, yurts are better insulated than Soviet-era apartments, but still light enough to be disassembled, packed on a couple of camels, and reassembled within two hours. They're practical dwellings for the high steppes, which is why the Ivanhoe camp uses them instead of Quonset huts, or whatever. I spent three nights in one out on the Gobi, at Ivanhoe's Oyu Tolgoi camp.
Computer Privacy: WARNING: Uncle Sam and Hollywood Want to Root Through Your PC - Computer Privacy Update from Mark Nestmann - The Bush Administration announced initiatives in its "cyber-terrorism" policy unveiled in January 2003. It includes a plan to require every Internet user to register their identity with their local Internet Service Provider and to provide a "live feed" of all Internet activity direct to law enforcement agencies, without a warrant. To make this possible, the FBI has developed new surveillance capabilities that aggregate Internet traffic in several key locations to facilitate eavesdropping. In this way, Hollywood and Big Brother are working hand-in-hand to terminate your PC privacy!

Make Money Overseas - Writing eBooks For EscapeArtist.com - Write eBooks for Profit - What we're looking for are ideas, not Pulitzer Prize writers. Ideas are what fuel our magazine and our website.  Now we want to expand that concept into eBooks for expats.  You don't have to be a professional writer to submit a report that provides important information - - information that you yourself have learned by having been there and done it. That is exactly what our readers are seeking, facts about living overseas from people who've done it, facts about buying a barge and sailing down the Danube, what it takes to migrate to Argentina, how to open a business in Prague, buy an island in Belize, get a job in Paris, start a farm in Mozambique, run an internet business out of the Dominican Republic, run a rent-a-scooter shop in Mauritius.
