| "Travel
is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our
people need it solely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views
of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one corner of the
earth all one's lifetime." -- Mark Twain |
 Let
It Go And Let Bali - Robin Sparks Looks At The Expat Scene In Bali
- Being
In Bali ~ The rhythmic clanging of hammers hitting the
bamboo shafts in the kul kul tower pull us in. Women in tight sarongs and
lacey tops stride regally under three foot towers of offerings on their
heads. Like the ladies back home bringing food to the church potluck, they
are bringing food to the gods, which they will share with others. We kneel
on bare earth before a shrine. Made places the offering of food and flowers
she has brought on the ground and lights a stick of incense. We hold out
open hands to receive holy water sprinkled from a flower petal by the old
pumanku, a priest's assistant, and tuck flower petals behind our ears -
even two year old Lode knows the routine. "What should I pray for?" I ask
Made. "Whatever you want. No problem!" she says.
Bolivia:
South America's Retirement Paradise - Bolivia
at the Top of the World - Nestled high in the
Andes mountains of South America, Bolivia is a little-known retreat exotically
spiced with a unique Latin and Native American flavor. Bolivia has a lot
to offer…a very low cost of living, unspoiled natural environment, friendly
people and a range of climates to suit virtually every taste. Property
prices are among the lowest in Latin America. |

Living
the Life on the Island of Rhodes ~ Driving you Crazy - Driving
on Rhodes - Ron Ferguson says Greece supposedly
has the highest rate of traffic fatalities of any European country.
This article is about how to not become one of them and other driving related
facts. To begin with you have to bear in mind that unless you understand
the culture and thinking of Greek drivers you have little chance of anticipating
their moves. So let's begin with some simple facts ....
Adventures
in Chinese Gourmet ~ Who Knows What You may be Eating - Chinese
Cuisine - As she translated the menu to me the revelation was astounding.
I learned that sugarcane rat is a local delicacy and people brag about
their family recipe. I have seen snake, silkworm, beetle, dog, and spiced
donkey all on one menu. Pig entrails and fish heads with rice are some
of the most common foods eaten. I had had no idea. In America I only worried
about what might be in a hot dog.

Kingfisher
Bay Island Estates & Marina ~ 5 Star Project Underway in Panama
- Island
Estates & Marina In Panama - In May, on a clear bright day with
a big sky, the Editor of Escape from America Magazine boarded a helicopter
and flew for 25 minutes on a southeast bearing of 144 degrees over the
Gulf of Panama to visit the proposed site of Kingfisher Bay Island Estates
& Marina. His mission was to cover a story about an exclusive development
project underway in the Las Perlas Islands. What he found was triple canopy
forest, pristine beaches, miles of nobody, and a highly plausible vision
of the future. |

Good
Morning, This Is Your Wake-Up Call - Immigration
& Citizenship Strategies For A Post September 11 World - This trend,
which has been underway for the past few years thanks to increased co-operation
between governments and initiatives of international organizations, has
increased its momentum and justification after September 11th. The implementation
of the Qualified Intermediary regime in 2000, the passing of the USA Patriot
Act in late 2001, and the recent offshore credit card record requests by
the IRS, mean the US is aggressively leading the way in scrutinizing all
domestic and international financial trans-actions of its taxpayers. ~

entity or an expert or transition support specialist, then attendance at
the FGT Conference is a must for you. It's a one-stop-shop bringing

Havana
Great Time in Cuba ~ Doing Havana Like a Cuban in Cuba - Vacationing
in Cuba - Al Dieste says, "Having just returned from four weeks in
Cuba, three of which were spent in Havana, I would like to share with your
readers the wonderful opportunity to enjoy and discover a rich and diverse
culture, at less-than-Motel 6 prices! Consider an alternative title
to this article as “Vacationing Like a King in Havana for $50 a Day!”
Tibet
and the Potala Palace ~ From Riches to Ruins - Tibet
- Richard S. Ehrlich notes, "The Dalai Lama may remember
the Potala Palace as his center of power in Tibet, but the Chinese have
turned the stunning 1,000-room structure into a slick corporate logo, decorating
beer bottles, computer screens and plastic packets of dried yak meat. Mindful
of the popular capitalist chant, 'location, location, location,' the heart
of the Potala Palace is now occupied by a tacky, spacious, Chinese-run
gift shop."

Journalists
~ Assign Yourselves Overseas - Getting
an Overseas Job as a Journalist - Laura T. Coffey
from the The San Diego Union-Tribune tells us, "If you've always
dreamed of living overseas, this may be the perfect time to try it. Journalists
often have an easy time qualifying for work visas in foreign countries.
Before you accept a job at an English-language paper, though, you should
take the following steps to make sure you don't burden yourself with a
nasty resume stain."
Travel
the World Helping Others ~ Get Paid Assisting Research Studies - Medical
Testing - Alexis Jamison survived train fires,
failed parachutes, gun shots, plane crashes, Mexican surgeons and even
the heart-stopping excitement of working in a office cubicle, then she
discovered that one can actually get paid for assisting in research studies.
She says, "There are research companies that pay volunteers to participate
in medical studies. Subjects fill their day by watching movies, playing
pool, talking to other travelers, surfing the Internet, reading or listening
to music. Meals and a bed are provided. In short it sounded a lot like
staying in a hotel full of travelers... except you get paid for it. A vacation
from your vacation."

Finding
& Using An Offshore Broker - Swiss Style Service In The Americas -
Finding
& Using An Offshore Broker - If you're accustomed to using banks
that shout your account balance across the room, give you an electric toaster
for opening an account and then make you wait in endless lines to get to
an impersonal service window; let me the first to inform you that the quiet
and attentive dignity of Swiss service would be a big shock to you.
Bankers in Switzerland are also brokers.
Latin
Business Chronicle ~ A Web Review of Business Resources - Latin
America Web Resources - Latin Business Chronicle presents this special
report of useful web resources on Latin American business and economics.
Latin America may not get the same business media coverage as Europe and
Asia, but thanks to the world wide web, there are several good resources
available to English-language executives.
Belize
- Doing Business in Belize -Business
in Belize:From Donuts to Dot.com - By Bill and Claire Gray - The simplicity
and ease with which one can start a business in Belize lets many people
do something they have always wanted to try but weren’t able to back home.
Being free from all the bureaucratic red tape, and expensive, complicated
procedures, frees a person to put all their creative energy into their
business.We love seeing owners of even the smallest of businesses empowered
like this. In the developing world no one expects anything from the government
and so they know they either have to get out there and earn money
at something or live off the food they have growing in their yard
and the fish they can catch.

Isla
Solarte in the Bocas Del Toro Archipelago -
Boating,
Sailing, Zodiac Jamming -
Everyone in the Bocas Del Toro Archipelago seems to own a boat. In
fact you can live in Bocas without a car, but everyone wants a boat. Water
taxis abound, but it's more fun to jump in the family zodiac and go shopping,
diving, surfing, fishing, or just island hopping. The extraordinary
calm and protected waters of the Archipelago mean that one can go on the
water 365 days a year. No hurricanes or inclement weather, and an endless
archipelago that is an ecological paradise. Find
