This is a total long shot - but any VXer's living on Saipan?
I'm thinking about moving out there and am debating if I should ship my VX over or sell it.

I would bring it!! Saipan is awesome, I personally prefer Guam, due to access to the airport and more stores/dealerships, but its just a short boat ride away. There is a decent 4wd club in Guam, not sure about saipan though. Pretty sure our oldest son was conceived in Saipan....Quote:

Good luck.
Cool, they give ya presents when you move there!?? :pQuote:

Business. It looks like they've got a tax structure that makes it really favorable to start a software development business there - as long as you don't need to recruit local talent. And the weather is just about perfect, I grew up on another island and I'll die a happy man if I never have to see snow or the frigid black ocean of the north atlantic again.Quote:

I am sure their tax structure is great, but it is the most corrupt place I have ever lived, especially if you have any money...be careful out there.Quote:

Its not the banks I was referring to, its the locals. They will steal everything not bolted down if you are a non-local. They will take you for everything you have if they can. That was in Guam, I imagine Saipan is even worse. I would still go tomorrow if the Navy sent me though. I had the protection of a local patriarch and the fishing community. I had a sweet boat, and had a ton of fun.Quote:
