The Expat Files - 01/23/12

Gary Null

-What are the calculated odds that an Expat starting a business in Latin America will succeed or fail?
 
-The advantages of doing business in the altiplano region- those hundred of towns and cities that have “eternal spring-like weather”
 
-The odd story of why middle and upper class Latins use propane fuel when they really don’t have to deal with it at all. It’s more than a tradition, in fact it could be a very good thing for First World folks to take note of.  
 
-Hot running water, or not? Even some of the wealthy folks don’t have it and they have their reasons  
 
-A bit about the Latin American power grid infrastructure; how in 10 short years it went from being a Third World joke to a pretty decent copy of the distribution system we have in the states
 
-“If it ain’t broke don’t fix it” is the prevailing Latin business attitude- precisely why most Expat businesses can’t help but succeed. And by the way, Latin businesses are plenty broken, but not by their standards
