sucessful foreign business

Has anyone heard of a sucessful business owned by a foreigner in Medellin? Someone who has been in business and is making money and not working 60 hours a week? Maybe someone who has been doing this for more than 3 years?I'd be interested in hearing about what they are doing. Thank you.

Sixty hours a week is pretty much the standard work week isn't it?

Even though you can always consider a brothel, you can make more money teaching English.

Poor but Preppy ______Colombia: the only risk is wanting to lay.

How about a combination of a brothel and English classed...jejeje

Seriously, I think there is a market for someone to facilitate medical tourism. If someone were to make the right contacts I believe there is a lot of money to be made assuring gringos and making their contacts for them.

Heck, I imagine one could make a very good living just couriering crowns back and forth.

==================================================================

So..... Exactly how much can one make, as a Brothel owner, compared to teaching english?--- You are sayinng teachingn english is more lucerative than the worlds oldest profession, in Colombia????

I would LOVE to see some salary figures on that one!

well, i think she's suggesting an admixture, turning tricks in english with a total latin flavor.

how much money?...average price X # of hookers X # of tricks per shift X # of shifts= income

should give a remote idea if you can fill in the blanks.
