 French Impressions
By Christel Detsch
|
| |
I was sitting in a strange, little hut on a hillside in the south of France crying my eyes out. My husband looked at me with a mixture of helplessness and exasperation on his face, the kind of look many men have when they are confronted with emotional women. Of course, it was only jet lag, but I didn’t know it at the time. I just felt miserable. We had come here to buy an apartment, and my German friend Rudi had found a fantastic opportunity for us.

 Primary Schooling in France
By Wendy Gardiner
|
| |
In France primary education is not seen only as a period of education, but it is believed to be the key to success for later education. It is supposed to build the basis for a life long education. For this, the French government aims to offer equal opportunities to all children. This means that education is free and children can join a school at any time of the year. For 2008 things have slightly changed regarding schooling for young children in France. Read more>> |

 Dubai: Visas and Sponsorship
By Marina Clementi
|
| |
This was already a minefield, at least for the processing, but now Dubai Immigration and Naturalization, has devised a list of multiple categories to encompass all types of travelers. The reason behind it is that the 'visit visa', which was given on entry for certain countries or bought with the ticket from others e.g. The Philippines, was being abused. People were entering on a visit visa and after the 30 days, going on what is commonly known as a ‘visa run’. Read more>> |

 Whither Gold?
By David Galland
|
| |
As we take a longer view on the precious metals here at Casey Research, I’m not much for commenting on current market gyrations or the various subthemes that regularly emerge in the blogs.That said, because I know the topic of gold’s latest moves is of interest to many – and to myself as well, though my longer-term perspective lessens the heat around day-to-day, week-to-week, or even month-to-month gyrations – a couple of quick observations are in order.

In fact, it’s easy to add raw land, shopping centers, apartment complexes, and private homes to your portfolio without brokers, bankers, attorneys, and handymen on your payroll. Read more>> |

 Did You Know?
Kids don’t eat carrots; even, bizarrely, when some bright spark tried making chocolate flavoured carrots, kids still didn’t eat them. But, humble though they are, the carrot is one of the most nutritious vegetables around.It is thought that the wild ancestor of the carrot came from Afghanistan and that selective breeding over the centuries resulted in the familiar garden vegetable. In early use carrots were grown for their aromatic leaves and seeds rather than their roots. The name carrot hails from the Greek karoton (derived originally form the old IndoEuropean word ker meaning 'horn'. Read more>> |

 Diamonds: Precious Stone or Deadly Killer
In some lucky places in the world, small crystalline rocks created deep in the earth’s magma, are forced to the surface; by the time they reach the light, they have become precious stones – the most precious, the hardest and the most fought over. People kill for them; people die because of them.“Conflict diamonds”, “blood diamonds”, glittering pawns in civil and ethnic warfare. But could anyone possibly have known that diamonds are also partly responsible for another, more insidious enemy? Sleeping sickness, or Human African Trypanomiasis (HAT)? Read more>> |

Cultural Dimensions of Living and Working in Chile
By Bill Drake
By Morgan Freeman |
 Live in Chile and experience the best of both worlds! Look no further than this eBook for an in depth look at the fascinating duality of this Latin American nation. A country with a long history, Chile has managed to adopt an American culture without losing its own essential identity, its traditions and customs.
Santiago, the capital, is a wholly modern city, with a 21st century infrastructure; but it charmingly retains its natural heritage in the wonderful colonial architecture, the food and the close, friendly, family oriented structure of society. Discover an exciting new life …with all the comforts of home.
This report is a fascinating look at the cultural dimensions of Chile. One of the most stable and economically viable nations of South America, Chile has, on the surface, adopted a very 'western' way of life; but underneath this veneer, a Latin American culture subsists.
‘Cultural Dimensions of Expatriate Living and Working in Chile’ peels back the outer layers of skin to reveal the essence of Chilean culture... Go there>> |

Buying Real Estate in Uruguay Invest in a True South American Paradise
By David Hammond
By Morgan Freeman |
 If you are considering Uruguay as an investment, relocation or retirement destination, read this book now and then pack it in your suitcase when you visit the country. It is very readable and extremely informative about this small, but perfectly formed South American country.
Feted as “the Switzerland of the Americas” Uruguay is a success story; having followed its nearest neighbors Argentina and Brazil into recession in the early part of the new millennium, some shrewd financial planning – stabilizing the economy by attracting foreign trade and capital - and a nurturing of a return to democracy, the sitting President Tabare Vazquez has navigated this little country through potentially dangerous waters to level of prosperity not enjoyed by other Latin American nations.
The character of Uruguay is strongly influenced by the descendants of Spanish and Italian immigrants and is considered to have the most “European” culture in all of South America. This bodes well for foreigners wishing to live and invest here – apart from a certain sluggish bureaucracy when it comes to paperwork; everything else is surprisingly efficient and recognizable.
