          As I say you know nothing.
          Name a place "off the beaten track" you have been to.
          Vanuatu has only 200,000 people and I know 90% of them so I think I my opinion is far more qualified.

            Is your ex girlfriend black or asian? Like I said in my other post... if you're of color you'll have a better experience in Vanuatu then if your white... kind of like the better experience you'll have shopping in Beverly Hills if you're white then you'll have if you're black

              Nop she was white.

              They don't like tourists too much over there, but she lived there for a long time... her grandfather was taking care of her, he was in a gov program in canada to help out poorer countries. Basicly he was showing people how to translate laws etc etc.

                WOW you know 180,000 people intimately in Vanuatu yet home alone tonight twidling on GFY and with so many LOOSE Vanuatu women roaming around just waiting for you to fuck them you decide to spend your time in front of your computer

                So ASSUMING you're a 40 year old idiot instead of a younger idiot.. and ASSUMING you REALLY DO know 180,000 residents of Vanuato so well, then you'll have met over 12 people a day, every day of your life, since birth, up to your 40th birthday to know 180,000 so well

                fucking idiot typical GFYer

                  If she was there for six years Doc, chances are she was really part of the community.

                  Other one is... always noticed folks seem to be more attracted to Canadian and some Euro people more than others. This was clear as water (uncontaminated) in the Caribbean area where there was more Canadian influence than much else. (Got to know a good few interesting people from Canada while I was there).

                    Yeah they don't like tourists, mostly white tourists. But if you're involved in helping their government etc., as your GF father was, then they're your best friend

                    They are still getting over the French colonization they rebelled against after so many years of, what they felt was, servitude to the white Frenchman.

                                  Mate you are such a cocksucker.
                                  name a place you have been to here.
                                  I just met 20,00 nivans today alone at the Kiwani races.
                                  I am also married to a local girl with a very large extended family and with 2 melanesian kids of my own who both had their birthday yesterday. Their party held at our place had over 200 kids, most ni_vans all accompanied by parents, brothers and sisters, house girls and other hangers on wanting to check out our mansion.
                                  The locals, dspite what you say all have great respect for France and celebrated wildly at every one of their world cup wins.Most people had French flags displayed proudly whether on the houses or buses or painted on their faces.
                                  Let me iterate, Vanuatu people are the happiest and friendliest people have met.
                                  And the girls all put out.
                                  And let me stress that their friendliest and happines is sincere.

                                    Exactly what the point of this thread was swami.

                                    The difference between "civilization" and a friendly and laid back community is stuff nobody would have a clue about unless they lived it.

                                            name a place you have been to here.
                                            I just met 20,00 nivans today alone at the Kiwani races.
                                            I am also married to a local girl with a very large extended family and with 2 melanesian kids of my own who both had their birthday yesterday. Their party held at our place had over 200 kids, most ni_vans all accompanied by parents, brothers and sisters, house girls and other hangers on wanting to check out our mansion.
                                            The locals, dspite what you say all have great respect for France and celebrated wildly at every one of their world cup wins.Most people had French flags displayed proudly whether on the houses or buses or painted on their faces.
                                            Let me iterate, Vanuatu people are the happiest and friendliest people have met.
                                            And the girls all put out.
                                            And let me stress that their friendliest and happines is sincere.
                                            You are such an idiot to post that Vanuatu loves foreigners so much your experience as a MANSION owner married to a LOCAL GIRL is different then what 99% of foreigners will experience there. And of course the local girls will throw away their native morals and fuck you you're a mansion owner throwing your money around bragging about your 180,000 close friends on the islands of Vanuatu

                                            I'm not sure which one is more bullshit.. you own a mansion or you have 180,000 close friends ... full of shit either way fucking liar

                                                      Once again clueless retard, you know fuck all about Vanutu or much else - and you sure don't have a clue about me.

                                                      Your source of this awesome revelation is another retard of equal brain capacity - oddly, yet another retard from your home country. Do they specialize in breeding shit there?

                                                      My.. why do you go to such extent that you have this need to keep coming back with more spewage and taking the bother to even search GFY to try and find "something"

                                                      Pigshit mouths that come onto reasonable threads and then tell people who actually live in countries, how their countries are shit - it's fair to assume they have a problem - just like you.

                                                      That fact that you never had good experiences of Vanutu is no surprise - they prob told you to fuck off there are well.

                                                      Have a nice day redneck

                                                      PS.. Nice pics! Amazing you take the time to post shit.

                                                            Yep Doc.. it's back to the land area again - or lack of it.

                                                            The Caribbean is much the same (or hell, any "exotic locations" these days) - same as Latin America (least the better countries there) - both Panama and Costa Rica are shooting up in price. Last year alone we had a capital gain of around 50% on land values - and destined to be much the same this year.

                                                            Generally, now is a time for buying in these places - tho chances are that should have been three/four years ago to get a decent price.

                                                            Stuff we have, we are not marketing yet, simply because the price is going up 50% each year, but the demand is sure there and suspect it's almost the same the world over. A lot of folks want to "escape"

But, least from the stuff I've seen, Vanutu appears to be a fraction cheaper than Panama or Costa Rica and definately a lot cheaper than the Caribbean.

And of course the local girls will throw away their native morals and fuck you you're a mansion owner throwing your money around bragging about your 180,000 close friends on the islands of Vanuatu

                                                                                                    Don't know this org in particular, but it was never a secret among national and international funding and development organisations that several island nations and other "third world countries" have a far superior *real lifestyle* than others. There are many reasons, - but often a mix of economic sustainability, rich ecology and an environment which has not been screwed up over time. When you have a self-sustaining community along these lines, - sure, people are going to be much happier in their daily lives.

                                                                                                    The problems with that come from two ends of the candle.

                                                                                                    There are third world countries where is it very difficult to even create an reasonable living environment and no amount of money can do this - it's just the nature of the beast.

                                                                                                    On the flip side there are "civilised countries" where they have never heard of a "sustainable environment" (ie prefer to ignore it) and simply consume natural resources, contaminating and destroying any environment they once had. Accompanying that comes "sophistication" of many forms - eg credit cards, mortgages, fast food stores (food never was mean't to be "fast", just eaten at normal pace )

                                                                                                    The current tendency among orgs, since it is anticipated that people, - mainly from the "civilized countries" are going to want some of this "happy world" is to develop sustainable tourism options, particularly where tourism does not eat into the environment - ie if that goes, it no longer is "happy world".

                                                                                                    It's the same where "civilized world" may want to permanently have a home in "happy world" - it needs a lot of managing to ensure the environment remains intact and overall self-sustaining. (As a side plus - there are many benefits to "self-sustaining") The one thing ya don't do is construct six condo complexes with armed guards at the gates

                                                                                                    It's a long story maxjohan and been working on several such projects for a few years now with professional assistance from several international orgs as well as governments in other countries. Along the way, this has been a massive education excercise but also meeting up with some amazing and interesting people in the process. It would take too long to cover outline here, but, several "experts" have described our project locations to be the cream of what they have ever seen - and they are the people who would know - they have seen it all worldwide. Meanwhile, it's back to the grindstone
