EscapeArtist Special Report is intended for those readers who are seriously
considering moving to Thailand for a prolonged period, or perhaps for the

Buying
Land In The South Of Chile ~ What
You Might Find ~ by Bill Lanphar - There is no place like the south
of Chile: yes, there are places that have more raw beauty, but few of them
are as sparsely populated and untouched by man. And where else can you
buy a great piece of land and build a small house for under $50,000. If
you think you want to build a place in South America, then Chile is probably
your best bet: political and economic stabilty means your investment will
grow.

Tropical Darwin For The Capricorn Coast ~ Or,
How We Escaped The “Build-Up” In Australia’s Sunshine State ~ by Brian
Norris - Just south of Brisbane and in what the Aussie's call the "sunshine
state" Yeppon, Australia offers the expat many incentives. From the endless
summer days, to the wide open beaches, to the abundant wildlife, northern
Australia makes for a good investment and a good place to call home. If
you want to get out of expensive Europe or dangerous America, then take

Tolerance
In The Netherlands ~ More
Business Cunning Than Peace And Love ~ by Emily Patterson - An overseas
experience can create all kinds of impressions in the traveller - some
good, some bad - and Emily has laid out for us what a bad experience can
feel like. The Netherlands has a reputation for tolerance, but as with
some countries that have a strong tradition of tolerance - the U.K., for
example - the people can seem distant and uninterested. That's how tolerance
can often be expressed. Find out more by reading the above article.
God,
Man & French Chefs ~ Motivations
For Living In France ~ by Bill Bonner - Why would someone live in France?
Well, I can think of a number of reasons and Bill Bonner has more than
me. The above article takes a look at why Americans love living in France
so much. To live overseas you have to have humor and Bill uses humor as
his way of showing you his motivations for living in France.
Some
Thoughts On Literature And An International Lifestyle ~ Reading
And Living ~ by Jurgen Klemann - Very good article on the connection
between reading, imagination and travel. Jurgen takes a look at some different
authors and their emphasis on travel. Normally people grab onto an idea
to travel overseas by something they read and this is what Jurgen explains
very well in his investigation into reading and traveling.
The
Incredible And Curious Story Of How To Obtain A U.S. Visa ~ Just
How Bad Is It ~ by Leah George Sanchez - Most Americans have no idea
what it means to go to the U.S. Embassy: think of doom. They always say
if you get into trouble overseas and you're an American, then you better
run quickly to the Canadian Embassy. When I say that to U.S. Embassy personnel
they always shake their head in agreement. An embassy functions according
to what its political mission is in a particular country, but helping Americans
overseas is always a secondary concern. Anyway, the above article gives
you a very good idea of what it feels like to go through the process of
getting your spouse a U.S. immigrant visa. Lots of emotion and pain.

Colored
Diamonds: The World’s Most Concentrated Form of Wealth - Colored
Diamonds As Investment - Financial Privacy: Another Reason to Consider
Colored Diamond Investments - Carat for carat, fancy colored diamonds
are the world’s most concentrated form of wealth. A multi-million dollar
portfolio of colored diamonds easily fits in a small envelope. In addition,
most countries, including the United States, do not require that the ownership
of colored diamonds (or any other gem) be reported to any government authority.
This is true even if you store them overseas. Any profits, of course, may
be subject to capital gains tax in your home jurisdiction. By Mark Nestmann |
