The Buddhist kingdom of Bhutan is the only nation that puts happiness at the core of public policy. But its thrust on a “gross national happiness”(GNH) index is not just a warm-and-fuzzy inheritance from Buddhism; it is integral to the nation’s cultural and political security. Bhutan is one of the poorest nations on the planet, yet one of the happiest. It is a very rare example of a country that has built happiness into the centre of its development strategy. A few years ago, it replaced (read abandoned) the usual economic indicators with a more holistic index called gross national happiness (GNH). Focusing on happiness has not come at the cost of ignoring GDP or other socio-economic indicators like life expectancy. People believe in wisdom and compassion.

One of the most stable economies in South America for years, it has been termed the Switzerland of South America for both its economy, its nationalized free education system, and its terrain. And even with its agricultural background and its traditional attractiveness, the nation is resplendent with perfect seashores and coastal regions which have had Uruguay being one of South American’s favorite travel destinations for years, with the rest of the world only finding out about it recently. With globalization and regional economic problems, its links to North America have strengthened. Uruguay is a strong advocate of constitutional democracy, political pluralism, and individual liberties. Uruguay relishes a high standard of living but attracts fewer tourists than neighboring Brazil and Argentina. Visitors here can melt into the background and experience the everyday life of a different culture, whether riding horses under the big sky of Uruguay’s sparsely populated interior or strolling with throngs of mate drinking locals along Montevideo’s 9 miles long beachfront. With mate, organic vegetable production and tree crops, Uruguay is emerging as the perfect location for natural and sustainable farming.

Will The Chinese Government Burst The Bubble?
Will The Chinese Government Burst The Bubble?
Chinese real estate clearly differs from most other real estate markets in that it remains in a bull market and therefore offers more upside potential. Another reason is that China’s population is becoming wealthier. Prosperity is not just in the country’s coastal cities. With the upside potential of any extended bull market comes the risk of a correction. Therefore, by all accounts, the Chinese real estate market is smoking, for the moment at least! Relating to Chinese research organization CEIC Data, property prices rose at a 38% annualized pace from 2001 through 2005. And the strength is continuing all the way through today.

Paraguay, like Bolivia, is actually completely landlocked. Asunción, situated on seven small hills on the east bank of the río Paraguay, is home to one twenyt percent of the country’s population and is a main urban center. Located in the center of South America, this somewhat quaint city is nearly equidistant from the Atlantic and the Andes, and is very interesting to consider investing in. Paraguay also had an attraction for the religiously inclined. The Jesuit Order actually ruled the country as well as part of Bolivia for 150 years until King Ferdinand expelled them from Latin America in 1760. The Jesuits had established a series of missions in the area which are principal tourist attractions still yet today. The 1986 movie The Mission starring Robert DeNero, dealt with the missions and also contained some dramatic footage of the Iguaçu Falls. Today, now that the Jesuits gone, Paraguay has become the world center of the Mennonite religion. Whatever the religion or purpose, many find this an undiscovered low cost paradise as Paraguay has only around 7 million people living there currently.
