 Cuba
~ Having
Fun ~ by Mark McMahon - THE PARTY STARTED just a few hours after I
arrived. Decorations were already in place; the cake was in the refrigerator,
the piñata filled with candies. I was made to feel like I was the
special guest of honor when in fact it was a birthday party for Ellen,
my eight-year-old Cuban Goddaughter. (To get up to speed on my role as
El Padrino, read entries at filmtrips.com from my first visit to Cuba –link1)
Escape
By Sail To The San Blas Islands Of Panama ~ Among
The Kunas ~ by Malcolm Couch - The Kuna people escaped themselves to
Panama hundreds of years ago from the Spanish, and in 1938 won semi-autonomy
within a 232 mile (375km) long territory (or ‘comarca’) constituting 400
islands and a strip of mainland on the Northeast Caribbean coast of Panama
called the San Blas.
Living
In The Valley Of Gods ~ Life
In The Himalayan Highlands ~ by Qiwi Lin Lisolet - For the last four
years, my husband and I have been traveling the world looking for a place
to call home. We have considered, visited, and lived for a few months each
in various parts of North America, Europe, Central America and India.
Life
In The Wild East ~ Adventures
And Opportunities In The Former East Germany ~ by Patricia Linderman
- Today, the former East Germany’s five “new states” are fully integrated
into the West and preparing for European Union expansion to the east. Like
the rest of Germany, these areas offer quaint villages, Renaissance market
squares, great (and inexpensive) beer, enticing bakeries and a healthy
lifestyle full of opportunities for walking, biking and hiking.

Living
In New Zealand ~ Answers
& Anecdotes Part 1 ~ by Candy Green - n New Zealand, the student
numbers for “integrated” schools are skyrocketing, increasing at three
times the rate of state schools in the last eight years. Integrated does
NOT have the same meaning as in the United States! Here, integrated means
that a school is able to keep its religious or values-based character;
the schools and teachers receive funding and salaries from the government
as they do in the public ones.
My
Florence ~ But
Not At First ~ by Victoria Lucia - To study abroad or not to study
abroad? I wrestled with this question on my way to class, in class, and
before I fell asleep, only to find that no matter how many times I weighed
the pros and cons, the pros emerged victorious. Florence had a reputation
for being alive with culture. There would be churches, museums, pasta,
debonair Italian men, and enough wine to fill the Grand Canyon.
Living
In The Bahamas ~ The
Early 1960s ~ by Joan Harris - I was surprised and flattered when I
was asked to continue with some of my reminiscences of Rudder Cut Cay in
the 1960’s. Here are a few more and some “less than” magical memories.
Falling
In Love With Australia ~ Staying
On In Australia ~ by Gabriela Hassan - I fell in love with Australia
when I was about 10. It might have been the koalas, kangaroos or pictures
of the Opera House. I am not quite sure, but I always had a healthy obsession
with the land down under and a strong desire to travel there.
An
Introduction To Living in Hanoi ~ It
Has Never Been So Easy! ~ by Joel Barnard - When most people, well
westerners at least, hear the word Vietnam what goes through their head
is, I think, thoughts of, of course a war, maybe a few movies about a war,
news clips….about a war and a time back then when things really spun out
of control; all to the backing of a Jimi Hendrix track.

retirement residency, and student visas in every region of the world. Twenty
seven nations covered - 241 pages of rock solid facts. |

of which are not commonly known,) for getting a second passport. This book
can get you into the EU. This book can help you retire in dozens of nations.
This book covers the subject of gaining legal residency, a second passport,
work permits, asylum, honorary passports, retirement visas, and a great
deal more, it provides the real facts and the real solutions, which sets
this book apart from anything else in its category. This is neither a dream
book, nor a book about vague ‘under the table’ deals; it is a book about
what it takes to get new residency, a second citizenship and a legal second
passport. In fact. |

the Government’s Attempts to Spy on Your Finances - No broker reporting
requirements apply to purchases or sales of collectibles: art, diamonds,
antiques, stamps, rare coins, etc. Another reason collectibles are valuable
as a private investment is that they do not generate current income. Nor
are dealers required to notify any government authority when you sell collectibles

In Japan ~ Restoring
A Home In The Japanese Countryside ~ by Ahmad Tijani/Asigo Chi - How
do you restore and repair a house that may be fifty to 200 years old?
As with any house in need of repair you have to ask yourself can you foot
the bill or do you need a loan. Who will do the repairs? The first
thing to remember is that there are always options.

Lost
In Space ~ A
Voyage To The Moon...Literally... ~ By Bill Bonner - A remarkable combination
of self-delusion and self-satisfaction seems to be driving Americans to
self-destruction. Limited government...balanced budget...fewer regulations
- Republican principles from the Eisenhower era might have protected them.
Too bad Republicans no longer believe in them.
Corrupted
Thinking In A Money Culture ~ U.S.
Credit Machine ~ By Kurt Richebächer - It is the general view
that the U.S. economy has outperformed the rest of the world in the past
several years. Judging by real GDP growth rates, this is true. Yet the
reason why is obvious, easily explained, and disastrous in its consequences:
the U.S. credit machine has no parallel in the world. It is geared to accommodate
absolutely unlimited credit for two purposes - consumption and financial
speculation.
The
Dangers Of South Africa ~ Fear
Of Crime ~ by Bronwyn McIntosh - Do you know that feeling of awakening
at 3am? Ah yes, we all know that too well, that sudden knowledge
that a loud noise has awakened you - the sound of a car starting, the sound
of a gun shot, the sound of a scream, the sound of police sirens blaring,
dogs barking, the alarm on the front gate triggered by someone opening
it, the outside security lights blazing because of movement outside, the
security alarm blaring.
Vive
la Difference! ~ Living
Overseas ~ by Ulrike Lemmin-Woolfrey - When moving abroad the to-do
list is endless: packing, shipping, new schools for the kids, accommodation
in the new country. It goes on forever, but is either taken care of, if
you are lucky, by your company, or yourself with the help of endless checklists.

I
Dream Of The Sea ~ Diving
In Roatan ~ by Dawnelle Salant - Landing in La Ceiba, it’s hard to
believe that the small, primitive airport services international flights.
La Ceiba is the third largest city in Honduras, and a great base to start
your explorations. Home to Dole Fruit Company, the city offers a beach,
proximity to nature and more urban activities, such as night clubbing. |

An
American In Vietnam ~ US$1
equals 16,170.0 Vietnamese dong ~ by Peter Kauffner - In Vietnam, an
entire family can ride on a motorcycle at the same time, daddy driving
with mommy sitting behind him carrying junior, who is somehow able to sleep
soundly despite the roar and honking of rush-hour traffic. No one wears
a helmet, and few are without the scars of accidents.
Canada
From Various Perspectives ~ Montreal,
Vancover And More ~ by Jurgen Klemann - About five or six years before
I started blessing the world with my presence, my folks had made the decision
to emigrate to Canada. A little more precisely, they wanted to settle down
in Montreal. After finalizing the paper work with the Canadian immigration
authorities, all that was left to be done was to get on a plane or a ship
to hop across the creek. That was exactly when my mother chickened out.

The End Of The World ~ Crossing
A Closed Border ~ by Charles Ragsdale - After a relaxing few days in
the Lake Atitlan area of Guatemala spent recovering from a car crash in
Mexico and my near arrest by corrupt police, I was looking forward to reaching
Honduras and enjoying the famed scuba diving of the Bay Islands. |

Luxembourg
~ A
Confluence Of Culture ~ by W.B. Sullivan - I saw the giant red spheres
at first from a distance. They rested calmly on the side of a steep grass
hill facing a large rocky outcrop ominously known as the Bock. The spheres
lay about, in no particular order, resisting gravity and descending haphazardly
towards the confluence of the Alzette and Pétrusse Rivers in the
meandering valley below.
A
Fish Story ~ Captain
Zero ~ by Allan Weisbecker - More than three weeks now since the ferry
deposited me and my whole worldly act on the Mexican mainland, and six
days since Denise flew down from snowbound Toronto to the quaint little
pueblo fronting a reef break I found outside Puerto Vallarta, a move of
pure impulsivity after I'd called her from the Mazatlan bullfights and
blurted how much I missed her.
Los
Santos ~ The
Heart Of Panamanian Carnival ~ by Matthew Atlee - Los Santos Province
is the center of Carnival in Panama. For most of the year the Province
is quiet and uneventful, but as Carnival time gets closer the people and
the atmosphere of Los Santos begin to slowly heat up and this was why I
wanted to visit Los Santos right before Carnival. The capital of Los Santos
is the small town of Las Tablas, a very traditional Spanish town with a
central plaza, the church and government buildings surrounding the small
square park where people talk and the hot breezes from the nearby countryside
blow through the large shade trees.
