    Although i agree with that the gf sounds like a high flyer doesn't mean that a parlor wont work. If you run a business here and do it properly it can succeed. I also have lived here for 14 years and everybody i spoke to said you cant make money with a business here. They where wrong!

    yes you can make money but you need lots of money to get going don,t forget your going against the locals who have a big advantage in the way things are done here .good contacts are a must ,if you are spending big you will attract the attention of the local politicians who will want a slice of the action.

    You don't necessarily need loads of money to get going here. 120,000 pesos was what we started with. Locals dont have a bigger advantage than you once you learn how things are done here. If anything i would say foreigners have the advantage once they are fluent in the language. Can see your point as have watched many a foreigner come here and fail but most of the time it was there fault. Sometimes they think they no better than the locals. Big mistake!
