Apr 1, 2009Yucatán: Uniquely Yucatán
It doesn’t take long to feel it. You know you’re in Mexico, but there’s a difference. It’s Yucatán, a Mexican state with a character so independent and unique that it’s like a country within a country. It’s little wonder that Yucatán marches to the beat of its own drummer — until the middle of the 20th century almost all of Yucatán’s contact with the outside world was by sea. Isolated from the rest of Mexico for centuries, it wasn’t linked to the rest of the county by rail until the 1950s. The first highway from Mexico City didn’t open until 1968, and commercial jets didn’t start flying into the capital city of Mérida until the 1960s. So influences weren’t from the rest of Mexico, but from the United States, Cuba, Europe and Caribbean islands — countries that traded with Yucatán in seafaring times.

Apr 1, 2009Rosario: Rosario On The Rise
Argentina’s economy managed to grow 7.1 percent in 2008 — lower than the country’s envious 8.8 percent average of the previous four years, but still a respectable number considering the financial skid of worldwide markets. In Rosario — a prosperous city of 1 million residents in Argentina’s agricultural heartland 180 miles northwest of Buenos Aires — real estate developers, local entrepreneurs and municipalities are still managing to raise capital for new commercial investment projects and city infrastructure improvements.
