South Africa: Advice on moving to SA:

yikes Esmaree... i was in south africa for a month and a half last year and loved it... cape town's a fantastic city... i never had any trouble, and did experience alot of white paranoia (i'm white myself) that said, i have read stats and realise there is a big crime problem... also, i have heard it's hard to get work if you're a white... you're post has made me re-think a little... i'd love to live in south africa.. and dont really need alot of money, just enough to live and enjoy life....

Laos: Living in Laos by 2010:

good info there... ok, here's where i'm at.. i was in laos last year, and i've got a pretty good business idea that i know would work... from what i've read on here... can i just get a business visa and start doing business? can it be that easy? i met a swedish lad in thailand who was burned bad by his thai girlfriend, he wanted to set up a hostel type thing... so, i'm a bit wary. so, couple of questions i hopw someone in the know could help me with. 1) do i really just need a business visa to start a business? 2) i'd need to rent some land, it's a outdoor activity type thing... how would i go about this? 3) hiring locals and even backpackers... is this all done cash in hand? 4)insurance? i've done tubing... and it all seems very lax... good ol lao.. do i need any.... basicly... is this possible? cheers
