Two bandits entered the family vehicle, driving them off the main road into a nearby coffee plantation. The assailants forced them the ground, tied them up, and stole luggage, money and credit cards. At least one of the unidentified attackers spoke fluent English. The bandits told the family to remain at that place for an hour and half. The family members were able to get loose immediately and drove back out to the road, unexpectedly passing the assailants. Although the men chased them, the family was able to ... [Read More]

Department of State Washington File: Transcript: Federal Reserve Official on Foreign Direct Investment
Also when a firm engages in FDI, such as Honda and Toyota in the United States, they are still importing supplies and parts from Japan. So the choice may not be whether they will sell cars in the United States that are produced in the United States or Japan. Rather, are they going to sell cars in the United States when the yen is very strong or when the U.S. government may not allow the importation of Japanese cars? ... [Read More]
US Department Of State Post Report
With an area of more than 44,000 square miles (114,447 sq. km.), Cuba is the largest island in the West Indies, accounting for more than one-half of the total Caribbean land mass. That makes Cuba about the same size as the state of Pennsylvania. The island is more than 745 miles (1,200 km.) long, and ranges from 20 to 125 miles (35–200 km.) in width. Cuba lies about 90 miles (145 km.) south of Key West, Florida and has about 2,500 miles (4,000 km.) of coastline. Cuba’s coastline is highly uneven and is broken into hundreds of bays, inlets, and narrow, shallow rivers. The Isle of Youth (known as the Isle of Pines in pre-Revolution days), and some 1,600 keys and islets lie offshore. The deep-water harbors of Havana, Guantánamo, and Bahía Honda rank among the world’s finest. ... [Read More]
