Sunset Over Africa - Click Here - “These people live so deep in the forest, that most people don’t even know they exist. Any history book on Madagascar will mention that there are nineteen ethnic tribes in Madagascar but this tribe is never even mentioned. They’re Pygmies and most people have never seen them.” “Yah, but they are a different people than the Ete Pygmies of Zaire,” someone else said. There had just been a quick reference on the radio, but supposedly, many Malagasy know about them. Seoul Diary - Living & Working in Seoul, Korea - Click Here - "So, before long, I found myself on a Korean Air 747 soaring over the Arctic, on the way to teach at a private school that I had never seen or heard of before.

The Less Friendly and More Inquisitive Skies - Click Here - By Doug Casey - There are many unsavory features about flying today. Crowded airports, packed planes, squalling kids, people dressed like they're coming from the gym (except they're usually too fat for that ever to be the case). The lower class atmosphere surrounding the whole experience is reminiscent of Riding the Dog (taking a Greyhound bus) in years past. It's even worse, since bus travel never subjected passengers to impertinent questions, mandatory x-ray of luggage or a possible strip-search by minimum wage dingbats. If Hieronymus Bosch was alive today, he'd paint airport scenes.

Even The Rats Have Left - Click Here - Bill Bonner [From The Daily Reckoning] - "In many of America's East Coast cities real estate prices peaked out, in real terms, early in the 20th century. Since then, almost every investment -- even at very low prices -- has been a losing one. Whichever direction you look, right or left, it is the wrong side of the track. Mattresses lying on the ground in backyards, rusted out cars and factories, boarded up or broken out window -- garbage everywhere...in piles, in ditches, even in the trees. The scenes are hard to reconcile with the vision of a New Era -- and everyone getting rich. These people certainly are not rich. They are not even poor. They would have to work for years and save their money to reach poverty." Investing in Cape Verde: Part I - Click Here - The word is out. The Islands of Cape Verde are a fertile ground for investors. Both individuals and corporations looking for the potential that exists with the special balance of enough development to get things done, but not so much development that there is nothing left to do, are leaving their native countries and settling on the Islands. However, if you want to see your dream come true, you'll have to do more than just show up. Here are some steps that may help you along the way. Secrets of a Real-Estate Developer ~ “How I built a profitable Roatan resort on a shoestring budget” - Click Here - One of the most important lessons I learned in this project was this: Build your amenities first. For us, this meant the pool…the dock…and the landscaping. You do this because when people come to look at your place they buy into the whole package. If they can see the pool and other amenities in place they know 1) that they will definitely be there and 2) what the place will look like when finished. What I’ve realized is that people are as interested in what their surroundings will look like as they are with what their actual house will look like. [From The Best of International Living]
EscapeArtist Has A New Search Engine - Click Here - We now have a search engine. Why so long to build one, you might ask. Our website is a directory with various categories and a standard search engine would not do. We had to build a data-base driven search engine that searched by categories and topics. A fuzzy search engine wouldn't work for our website. We have to enter each topic into the database by hand. As you might imagine this is one heck of a job, but we believe the end results are going to very worthwhile. It's now on our home page only, going through beta testing and being added to on a daily basis. Try it out, let us know what you think. Your comments are important to us. We will begin to add links to exterior websites within the next month or so. At this point it provides links to our own website only.
