It will go one of two ways:

1, Hong Kong, New York, London blah blah blah working for a living
2, Nairobi, Kigali or somewhere in south-east, central Africa working for an aid organisation

you are 100% right. Also as someone who actually does know a bit about PR and it's just a small part of what I do, I personally like this fact...

10 years from now... (apols to W10) I'd like to have built a really cool as eco-friendly resort that I actually owned the freehold on that was on / overlooked the most amazing sea view in a country that welcomed and accepted this venture and provided a nice amount of sun.... with a decent and steadly flow of reasonable and decent folk that like to have a laugh but were respectful at the same time...

...maybe I'll keep dreaming.... maybe I'm on the way there....
