 Georgia
in the warm heart of the Caucasus - Click
Here - Duncan Williamson is living and working in Georgia,
a former USSR republic located in the Caucasus region between the Black
Sea and the Caspian Sea of Eastern Europe and Asia. Scenery, people, and
traditions abound. Duncan writes, "Tamadas must have a serious side, too.
During any Supra there will be toasts for everyone for getting together,
to Georgia, to parents, to children, to the dear departed, to peace, to
friendship, to any honored guests, and if someone ends a toast with alaverdi,
it means the person being toasted has to reply." Georgia is the land of
wine, churches, and legends.
Our Man in Bermuda
- Click
Here - Edel Kinsella is a PA/ Secretary from Dublin,
London, and Jersey. She writes, "I'd been looking for a contract abroad
and was offered one in Saudi Arabia and Bermuda at about the same time.
I chose Bermuda primarily to experience some hot, sunny weather for a change
– I was getting tired of freezing my butt off in Ireland, trudging around
in rain and sleet, having also been through a stormy, inclement winter
in Jersey. This, then, is my settling-in story on the lovely island of
Bermuda. For me it's always been fun, exciting, and challenging; they're
the things that make life good.”

From
Santiago de Cuba to Havana in only Three Weeks - Click
Here - Linda Thalman is the director of WebFrance International
and editor of the Paris In Sites Newsletter. She has traveled extensively.
On a recent trip to the land of music, laughter, and rum, she lived Cuba
from east to west. Linda writes, "At the first step out of the Santiago
de Cuba airport on Saturday, 12 February, we salsa-ed through a receiving
line of costumed dancers moving to the beat of Cuban music. And the beat
went on and on throughout our trip from east to west in Cuba. After three
weeks of almost no TV -- CNN and even France-2 television are available
at the big hotels, no newspapers -- only the Spanish-language national
daily Granma, and no Internet -- no Internet cafe anywhere, es bueno!,
we found it actually is possible to totally disconnect -- what a fiesta!"
Relishing
Narcissus in South Korea - Click
Here - Barry Walsh is wandering the world trying
to find a place between the gloom of mundane routine and the vivacity of
the new. Sometimes travel makes it happen, even on weekend getaways to
the environs of mountain hermitages of South Korea. Walsh writes, "This
is bliss. I am the only Westerner traveling today as always, but whereas
during the week I am detached, now I feel I belong. My weariness of heightened
cynicism is replaced by a tempered tranquillity, my spirit found by renunciation.
To me this is what experiencing a foreign culture is all about. I have
done nothing uniquely Korean on my journey, but my self-assurance is sufficient.
I ask the bus driver in my limited Korean how long the stop is for. I already
know – it’s always the same – but right now my self-love is smothering
my self-consciousness. While in the toilet, I observe my appearance – why
don’t I have a girlfriend?"

REPORT - Escapeartist Living in Belize Fights US Tax Indictment - Click

million in fines. Gazing across the slow-moving water of the Mopan River
toward his
Mopan River Resort -- a
10 acre luxury gateway -- he'll
you the last sixteen years
have been the happiest of his life. Ross and his wife Pamella have
second passports. |

The
advantages of Living Overseas: a new and refreshing way to look at Offshore
-
Click
Here - Edmund J. Pankau writes about the broader meaning
of offshore, this time in terms of the real
advantages
to the ordinary person seeking a lower cost of living, a better quality
of life, reasonable and fantastic real estate, lower taxes, and ground
floor business opportunities. "In recent years, Central America has become
the Florida, California and Arizona of the 1950’s. Remember when
you could buy beachfront property in Florida for a song? When prices in
California were dirt cheap? Well, those
days are now in full bloom just a little further south of the border.
The slower paced climate of Central American has awakened to the realization
that is can revitalize its economy by becoming the retirement center of
the western world. All of the things that made Florida and California boom
are now happening in Belize, Honduras and Costa Rica, as is starting to
emerge, Nicaragua, Panama, El Salvador and Guatemala."
Cross-Cultural
Savvy: Don't Go Abroad Without It - Click
Here - Gary Wederspahn is a
leading intercultural business trainer, consultant, speaker, and writer
of an acclaimed book on cultural awareness for US travelers. What we have
adopted from our culture can often work against us abroad. Wederspahn
writes, "In addition to their household items and personal belongings,
US expatriates also take with them invisible cultural baggage composed
of values, beliefs, attitudes, assumptions and expectations. How
people in their host countries perceive them and respond to them depends
largely on the contents of this intangible luggage. The advice inscribed
on the ancient temple of Apollo at Delphi to “Know thyself” is as valid
in today’s era of globalization as it was when Socrates first quoted it
over thousand years ago. You can’t avoid taking your US cultural baggage
abroad with you. But at least you can be aware of it and be careful
to not unconsciously impose it on others."

Success
Story Continues! - Click
Here - Due to popular demand we are now
posting Classified Advertisements in this and all future issues of Escape
From America Magazine. We wanted to create a low cost way for EscapeArtists
to advertise, and for other EscapeArtists to make contact with their services,
products, ideas, real estate and escape routes. For those of us who spent
countless hours peering through the classified sections of magazines like
Mechanics Illustrated or similar classified sections, a classified section
is like looking through a collectable store for those surprises that make
the hunt a pleasure as great the discovery. This is the fifth issue featuring
the classified. If reader feedback is any indication the classifieds
are a resounding success.
