in Siam - Tomy Gunn had a 1989 Emmy Nomination, several Billboard chart
records as a songwriter, and numerous film and TV credits as a composer

Come
to Myanmar (Burma) And Shop Till You Drop -The
Capital Yangon (Rangoon) is where you start - There are delights for
everyone. No one need be bored. Foreigners target lacquer stalls and debate
whether to buy Shan bags or laphet. Should they buy a kalaga to bring back
to Singapore, jade or gem stones to take to Europe or cheroots to smoke
in Boston? Meanwhile, locals are snapping up Giordano t-shirts to wear
with the newly purchased longyi: men haggle over emeralds or gold bracelets
and an entire family inspects rattan furniture. Two sisters dawdle between
the cosmetics counter and the material shop making it an occasion as they
shop for stress or anxiety as they fail to find it among the bales of cloth.

Offshore ~ These autonomous freezones have no shores - Floating
Nations - John Kosanke from FreeNation Update tells us about the progress
of floating cities and autonomous freezones, a refuge from regulators of
all stripes - an internet refuge. Three such way offshore cities are being
constructed. One is an internet refuge; another 4/5ths of a mile
long (4500 linear feet), this multi-level barge will slowly circle the
globe and remain within international waters; yet another will be. the
first residential cruise ship. That's supply and demand folks. More vessels
are in the cards.

Saving Tips for Expats - Pay
Less Taxes - Dean Demos has been a tax professional for over 15 years,

the double taxation of your income by your new country and the US: the

Immigration after September 11, 2001 ~ A Special Report from VisaPro for
Those Who Want to Move to the USA – US
Immigration - Escape from America Magazine brings this article to its
readers as a
public service announcement.
The events of September 11th, tragic in themselves, have also left a tragic
aftermath. With international borders dissolving in the wake of supranational
organizations, such as the EU, NAFTA, MERCOSUR, the emerging FTAA, and
many others, terrorist activity has restricted the movement of free persons,
worldwide, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe. This article will be of interest
to those who wish to emigrate to the United States, as well as to others
interested in the freedom of people to move across borders in an ever globalizing
world now restricted by terrorism. VisaPro offers free immigration information
and online visa processing service for prospective US immigrants.

Solarte . . . . Living
In The Bocas Del Toro Archipelago - The most popular place in Panama
is Bocas Del Toro - and with good reason. There is more to do in Bocas
Del Toro than anywhere in Central America and the Caribbean combined.
It is the Caribbean, the lowest priced real estate in the Caribbean, it
is Panama, and Bocas is just an hour from the high-tech international banking
center of Panama City, and minutes from the European ambiance of San Jose,
Costa Rica. (In fact it's only minutes by water ferry to Costa Rica,) and
it's sailing, diving and surfing is world renown. |

Are you Living Overseas? Are you
traveling in one of the four corners of the world? Running a hamburger
stand in Tegucigalpa? Tell like minded people about it! We
can assure you that our readers want to know about what you're doing!
We want articles from anyone living an usual lifestyle. What we're looking
for are ideas, not Pulitzer Prize writers. Ideas are what fuel our magazine,
and our website. You don't have to be a professional writer to submit an
article - especially if you've walked the walk. Send us your article ideas,
we are very interested in hearing from you. We are currently seeking
articles on living overseas, adventure and discovery travel, jobs overseas,
those who've started overseas businesses, worked overseas as a telecommuter,
internet businesses, and articles on the subject of offshore investing.
We are also seeking articles by those who have invested offshore who will
share their experiences, both positive and negative. Anonymous bylines
are okay. We are seeking articles from those who have been successful
at starting and running businesses abroad or on-line from overseas locations.
We're continually looking for articles on overseas living lifestyles -

Is
This Spam? - A Spam Vigilante,
or two, or ten, has inadvertently been added to our list. (Perhaps by someone
wishing to cause us problems.) This may force us to go to a double-opt
method of allowing subscribers to sign up. As it is, any email address
may be inserted. We've used this method for four years and never
had a problem. We have less than a 2% unsubscribe rate, and we have never
once been accused of spamming anyone. Are you receiving this magazine,
or magazines from our associates and feel you are being spammed? If you
are receiving this magazine in error we have a simple unsubscribe method
- you
can unsubscribe by clicking here - If you are receiving the International
Living eLetter, you indeed subscribed to them when you subscribed to this
magazine. The International Living eLetter has clear and prominent
links for those who wish to unsubscribe, and we provided clearly written
information that you would receive that eLetter when you signed up.
It has never been our wish to spam anyone. We have always posted
clear and prominent notices as to what we do or say. There are now
Spam Vigilantes, who in their glee to get revenge on spammers have taken
it upon themselves to assume that all email is spam; and purposely sent
as such. The lust to convert creates true believers... If you do
not want this magazine or the International Living eLetter, simply unsubscribe.
If there is no method to unsubscribe to something... then it is spam.
Concentrate on real spam, and assume that if you received this magazine
or the International Living eLetter in error, it was not our intention.
