Re: Cheapest Places to Buy Real Estate in Asia

Well it must be Bali then... it won't be Brunei or Bhutan, and probably not Burundi, Botswana, or Benin. Bolivia or Belize, perhaps? Bahamas and Barbados seem too far away. Bulgaria, Belarus, and Bosnia could be full of bargains too.

Re: Could Robots Kill Asian Factory Jobs?

Basically, the education system is designed for the 20th century, not the 21st.

Re: Hong Kong Watch

I don't think it matters any more. What is even more disturbing is that Chinese money can translate into censorship in countries like the UK. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/10/12/police-called-hong-kong-china-tensions-spread-uk-universities/ ...and not for the first time, just after the Tibet...

Re: Fees assosiated with TransferWise

They could be using it in the country, but getting the money transferred to a non Cambodian bank ether in the country or in Thailand, I guess. If they're just moving dollars around, I guess it's simpler than for non-dollar sources. Nobody needs to buy Riel really, do they. https://transferwise.com/u...

Re: Cheapest Places to Buy Real Estate in Asia

If only you could find a spouse with dual Cambodian-Thai citizenship, you could find all kinds of ways to enjoy tropical property, but it does all seem rather scammy.
