Macau may have fate similar Hong Kong.

I'm not sure how the Carribean islands get enough food or diesel with a large scale econommic distruption.

Almost every small Caribean (except T&T) island has a dependence on tourism, meaning disposable income in the first world.

We should research how the islands did during the 1973 oil crisis.

I was thinking Chile, which has what it needs except for hydrocarbons. The nice thing about Chile is they have experienced both extreme left and extreme right, and seem to be strongly attracted to the middle. Relatively diverse population, ehtnically and religeously.

Being a food EXPORTER - fruit, wine, fish - chances of hunger problems are low.

The only other candidates might be Switzerland and Canada.

Hi TJ;

Don't know much about macau. But know something about the carrib Islands. Lived in the bahamas for several years. I would guess that you would enjoy the for bahamas about 3 weeks, maybe. barbados and st kitts you may last longer but they ain't no center of the universe Hong Kong. Even allowing for the extended family in trin I can't see you settling there for any length of time.
If I had to pick an island for you I think One of the Ko's in Thailand or the Philippines would be much more comfortable.

macau :0)
bahamas
barbados
st kitt
