for the better. I did want to caution anyone who might be thinking
of coming to work here that the situation here may not currently be what
you might imagine it to be and although my previous article was accurate
at that time, an update is definitely required.

Europe Cyprus - Cyprus
finally joined the European Union in May 2004, thus achieving a long sought
after prize. Despite a last ditch effort to unify the the Turkish
occupied north and the Cypriot Greek south, with a plan put forward by
Koffi Annan, Cyprus entered Europe as a divided island.

The
Wanted and The Unwanted - On April 19, 2001, a man named Alyn Waage
was arrested at the airport in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, with $4.5 million
in his briefcase. Waage had boarded the Learjet intending to fly
to Belize to pick up an employee who worked at the mail forwarding office
there, then fly on to Vallarta where his company, the Tri-West Investment
Club, was based, and then to Latvia where he intended to buy a bank he
dealt with.

France:
Le Bout de Monde - If
you came to visit us for the first time, you might think that our tiny
village of Cansal in the Fenouillèdes, surrounded completely by
sloping vineyards, is as dead as a dodo. Let me try to convince you why
Cansal (c. 90 inhabitants) is never, ever boring. We'll start with
Henri, a nicely pot-bellied octogenarian, strong as an ox, who proudly
showed me his graveyard harem one day when I met him by chance in the village
cemetery.

Margarita:
Mr Butcher - Here’s

we run into a Spanish speaker in America who was struggling to convey a
message and we simply got frustrated and thought to ourselves…if they are
going to be in America they should learn to speak the language!

Minas Gerais.

The
Croatian Advantage - When
I decided to move to Croatia early in 2005, my friends and business associates
were shocked. "Where is it?" "Isn't there a war going on there?"
"Why would you start a business there?" At the time, my short answer
was that the war had been over for ten years and the Croatian coast where
I was going was a beautiful place with a mild, Mediterranean climate that
was located in the heart of Europe.

Mexico:
Death of an Infant in Oaxaca - Daniel
Perez Gonzalez was a beautiful baby. His parents Flor and Jorge thought
so; my wife Arlene and I agreed. Few are able to share our certainty,
though, because we were among the very few to see him alive. Daniel
was born in one of Oaxaca’s well-known clinics. I welcomed him into
the world along with Arlene, our then 13-year-old daughter Sarah, and Daniel’s
abuelita (grandmother) Chona.

for Retiring, Investing, or Just Good Living by Lee Harrison - If you've
never considered Uruguay as a place to live, or even to visit you’re
going to be completely surprised by all it has to offer - The

fine restaurants, colorful markets, sycamore-lined streets and a cultural
scene second to none. Here you’ll encounter an honest, European culture
that’s representative of what you’ll see throughout the country. In Colonia,
you’ll find that the original Portuguese settlement has been restored,

Spanish
Property Prices - For
many years now, Spain has been one of the most popular places for those
wanting to start a new life in a foreign country. By far one of the
most popular reasons was that huse owners could sell their existing property
in their home country and purchase a property in Spain at a very good price
- thus leaving a large amount of capital that could either be invested
or help serve as income through the forthcoming years.

Look
to the Honduran Mainland - This
is La Ceiba, a Caribbean port city on the northern coast of Honduras. Home
to more than 100,000 people, it’s a town that has everything: a pleasant
central square, a large, modern mall, new supermarkets, food markets, a
cinema, fast food restaurants, and waterside dining. They even have
a North American-run real estate office right on the town square.
The lush cloud forest is just a few miles to the south, with an awesome
peak known as Pico Bonito overlooking the region. The Caribbean beaches
stretch from La Ceiba for more than 100 miles to the west and almost 300
miles to the east.

Useful Photography Tips I Learned In Less Than Two Hours - I'm
writing from the lobby of a DuPont Circle hotel in Washington, DC. I'm
here attending AWAI's Ultimate Travel Photographer's Workshop -- learning
what I can in the interest of adding photos to the articles I already publish.
One of the best -- and easiest -- ways to increase the number of your articles
that make it into print (and the dollar value of each one) is to offer
editors not just words, but photos, too. Clearly, I've come to the right
place. We've wrapped up only the very first session, and already I've gathered

Residency And A Second Passport From The Dominican Republic -John
Schroder has written numerous articles for EscapeArtist.com - He has devised
a unique residency / passport program that is quick and effective. While
not given mention by the so-called 'instant passport' websites, John's
program results in residency in less time than any program we know about.
In addition, with John's program one ends up with a legitimate passport,
unlike the sort of document that the 'instant passport' scam artists proffer.
Take the time to contact John and find out what he can provide in terms
of residency. The feedback that we get from John's clients demonstrates
that John has the speed record for providing offshore residency.
Getting a passport after residency involves method. John knows the
method. If you want residency and a passport in hurry, go see John

| Privacy - Your most important
possession - They've Declared War on Your Wealth & Your Privacy
..and You Could be the Next Innocent Victim! - The
Privacy Report - Regain Lost Privacy With The Lifeboat Strategy - Mark
Nestmann was one of the people whose work I consulted when writing the
book version of Escape From America. The ongoing erosion of privacy in
the United States is the most important issue facing Americans today.
Without privacy, we have nothing, or less than nothing. Privacy is a human
imperative because privacy of self is an important biological necessity
of a sane and stable sense of self. It is a scientific fact that a rational
person cannot have their autonomous sense of self (their sense of privacy
of self,) compromised and still function as a healthy individual.
Thinking and creativity require the capacity to make independent judgments,
an invasion of our privacy such as that going on in America today violates
that capacity. It is more than important to reclaim our privacy, it is
a biological necessity. Those who want to know about privacy and how to
regain it turn to Mark Nestmann; he is the authority on issues of privacy,
and he has a wide range of solutions to our loss of privacy problems. |

Argentinian
Tango: It Takes Two - In
the earliest days of the dance, when the Cuban seamen who sailed the commercial
routes between the Caribbean and the Rio de la Plata brought 'tango'
to the bars, brothels and barrios (districts) of Argentina's vibrant
capital Buenos Aires, it was danced alone, only by men, in a show of strength,
superiority and confidence.

Vienna:
The True Heart of Europe - The
swinging city on the Danube lay at the edge of the Free World during the
uneasy decades of the communist threat, and was close enough to feel the
icy breath of the" Siberian bear". In fact between 1945 and 1955
it was divided into sectors by the Allies just like Berlin, with the Russians
making a rare retreat in return for the Austrian neutrality. Long
before the Soviets forced their utopian ideology on the peoples of Central
Europe, Vienna lived its glory days as its unquestioned capital. |
