2008-06-09 18:01:00 If you’ve ever had your penis cut off and/or been executed while on holiday, you’ll probably know that it’s easy to offend people from other cultures. Unless you learn the ways of the place you’re visiting, even the most well-meaning tourist can regularly find his oesophagus stuffed with burning goat. But surely just plain common sense and good manners will save you, right? Wrong.

Jews Versus Overseas Chinese
2008-05-25 13:33:00 Uncle Milton comments on a previous post of mine, An Apologetics For Zionism, that dealt peripherally with the overseas Chinese. I will deal with his comments at the end of the article:Robert Lindsay: There are differences between Jews and Overseas Chinese. The Overseas Chinese tend to keep their heads down, keep out of politics, and are not endlessly meddling in the cultural and political affairs of the nation - they just focus on making money. Jews focus on making money too, but they can't seem to help trying to change society, a habit that arouses mountains of anti-Semitism.Uncle Milton: I would say this is incorrect. Thaksin Shinawatra, the former prime minister of Thailand (and one of the richest if not the richest men in Thailand) was deposed by a military coup is ethnically Chinese.There were also many ethnic Chinese who were very close to Suharto and received special favors and privileges from the Indonesian government.The Chinese in Indonesia, however, have had to play a b...

Britons seek employment overseas
2008-05-20 02:00:00 The number of Britons who chose to emigrate abroad between 1997 and 2006 has been described as "probably the greatest period of emigration we've ever seen". Jill Rutter, senior migration office at the Institute for Public Policy Research, told the Telegraph that this is partly due to the relatively new trend of retirees emigrating to countries. However, she said it is also due to the "more internationalised labour market and workforce", which has made it easier for people to work abroad for a period. A NatWest report on expatriates showed that of the 200,000 who left the country in 2006, two-thirds went to live abroad with four in ten of those professionals or managers. The Conservative Party has claimed that the statistics reflect how many Britons are becoming disgruntled with high taxes and crime rates to the extent that many are leaving their home country. The Office for National Statistics will release figures showing that 1.97 million Britons left...

UAE recommended to overseas investors
2008-05-08 02:00:00 The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has been flagged up as a good location for overseas property buyers to consider. According to ShelterOffshore.com, the Asian country currently offers a number of attractions for foreign investors. For example, the website highlighted the recent increase in visitor numbers, as well as the revenues generated by its tourism industry. In addition, the country's economy was said to have a strong economy which is experiencing a sustainable rate of growth. This has prompted the website to recommend that overseas property buyers consider possible investment opportunities in the UAE. ShelterOffshore.com said: "Each emirate is worth closer inspection by would-be property investors." The online portal added that the country's real estate is currently "thriving", despite ongoing financial problems across the world, such as the credit crunch. This was largely attributed to the fact that these issues have put investors from the UAE off i...
Record number of Britons consider moving overseas
2008-05-08 02:00:00 The number of Britons who are thinking of moving abroad has reached record levels, according to a new study. Removals firm Robinsons International said that more people than ever are looking at relocating to countries such as Australia. Research by the company showed that many are disenchanted with life in the UK because the cost of living is continuing to go up. Other respondents cited loutish behaviour as one major concern, while some said they felt under too much pressure at work. Meanwhile, a poll of the people Britons would be most pleased to see the back of highlighted an apparent dissatisfaction with the government, as prime minister Gordon Brown and his predecessor Tony Blair came top of the list. Furthermore, 15 per cent of respondents said they blamed the government for driving them out of the country. Anthony Robinson, managing director of Robinsons International, commented: "It's not surprising that so many people are looking for the better standard of living...
Laptop Rentals Can Help Assure Data Security When Travelling Overseas on Bu
2008-05-07 17:47:00 A recent court decision from Los Angeles' Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals should give business travellers pause to consider whether they would not be well advised to pick up a laptop rental before travelling overseas on business and returning their computer rental when they get back from doing business overseas. The Court's ruling that United States Customs and Border Patrol agents have unfettered power to search laptops in airports - including opening every file on the hard drive - should give business travellers returning to the U.S. from overseas (including even Canada and Mexico) pause to consider whether they wish to have sensitive or proprietary business files on their every workaday laptop opened and subjected to scrutiny by relative strangers.Not to be alarmist, but the information on business files - whether in respect to information that needs to be shielded from competitors or strategic information about possible mergers or acquisitions - is always prone to "seepage" i...

Credit crunch 'boosts overseas property'
2008-05-02 02:00:00 The ongoing credit crisis is prompting some people to take the plunge and invest in a foreign property, an expert has said. According to Paul Collins of the BuyAssociation website, foreign property ownership is becoming more and more popular in the UK. This was partially attributed to economic issues such as the slowdown in the British housing market, as this has prompted some investors to seek potential opportunities overseas. He added that the credit crunch is also having an effect, as many are losing confidence in the amount of money they have in their UK property. Mr Collins commented: "When things start to show signs of taking a downturn it can actually steel people into making a decision." This comes after Exchange Bond predicted that the number of foreign properties owned by British and Irish nationals will increase by at least eight per cent this year.

Retirees set to keep heading overseas
2008-04-21 02:00:00 More and more people from the UK are likely to spend their retirement in another country, a newspaper has stated. Referring to recent research by NatWest International, the Telegraph said nearly two million Britons will have retired abroad by 2025. This has prompted the publication to dismiss predictions that the popularity of settling overseas will soon start to decline. "Any idea that the exodus from Britain of those settling abroad might be waning appears wildly premature," it commented. However, the Telegraph called upon older people to remember important issues such as their health and the quality of medical care in their new home. The newspaper said that while many European countries offer "generally excellent" medical services, some places do not offer free healthcare provision for foreign expatriates. This comes after ShelterOffshore.com said it would be prudent for prospective expatriates to make sure they are familiar with how living abroad will a...
