hey.
i suspect it isn't foreign investors so much as local investors who have set themselves up an off shore company for whatever legal reasons.
the prison... / detention facility... they are calling it a 'rehabilitation facility' but i didn't think the UK was doing so well with rehabilitating their own prisoners... there was something on the news the other night about media not being able to go inside prisons and interview inmates... anyway... who knows what will go on inside a foreign staffed 'rehabilitation facility'.
i suspect that sometimes the thing about 'free trade' is 'give it to us freely - or you will force us to come and take it against your will'.
i think there is probably diversity within any country... some people have managed to carve out nice lives for themselves while others struggle...
heard a speel from the GP people the other day... hiking, skiing... adventure sports. pubs... pool... can be a nice life. a nice lifestyle block. would be nice to fly a small plane. these things are viable, i guess. some horses. little bit of an organic farm... if you want...
if you want...
i'm grumpy because i'm stuck in the city with the kids / streetkids. over the city i am.
