We have to import our car from Sarajevo for almost half the cost of the car, if we cannot figure a way around it. but I am not complaining yet, I have spent the past decade squirming in and out of the bureaucracy here in Bosnia. Anyway I also wanted to ask you if you are paying employment taxes in Croatia and US? I know there is an exclusion in the US if you do not spend more than 33 days in the US, but the question is how much is the Croatian gov taking? How are you registered as a resident in Croatia? was it necessary that you set up a business to get registered? We would really like to hear more details about how you have managed all this and what you learned along the way... please email me, if you can??Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11536506404270031538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33967826.post-52667988809882124722008-02-02T00:34:00.000+01:002008-02-02T00:34:00.000+01:00hey, Chelsea should be old enough if Jeb follows H...hey, Chelsea should be old enough if Jeb follows Hillary (for a total of four terms)! and there's plenty of Bushes that might step in in 2032.stefano gaudianohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482798551260728950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33967826.post-89123994643163734212008-02-01T15:48:00.000+01:002008-02-01T15:48:00.000+01:00Hey guys,Nat, haven't had a chance to watch that E...Hey guys,<BR/><BR/>Nat, haven't had a chance to watch that Edwards video. But he's a bit too far left for me personally. Gave him money in 2004, though. Gave the money to Obama instead this time.<BR/><BR/>Marc: The Cintiq seems pretty portable to me. It's way lighter than the larger ones. It's about the size of a laptop, a little bigger. It's just got this power coverter that's extra to carry, but that's not at all big. The wire's a bit long and unwieldy, though.<BR/><BR/>Rick, yes I have contact for a lawyer if you want. But you'll have to e-mail me. There's a link on this blog at lower left for e-mailing me. But, be aware, having a business here is a huge pain in the ass in my opinion. I don't think I will keep one once I don't need one. They tax pretty heavily and are not a very business friendly country. Too much red tape and hassle. I'm in the process of renewing my visa now and it's a lot of BS with the business. And book keepers are also expensive for a business. Also be aware that it cost me somewhere in the region of $4000 in lawyers fees for having the company set up and getting my visa, everything included. It's not cheap.Matt Hollingsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11508408961031520485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33967826.post-72086296346949188482008-02-01T05:31:00.000+01:002008-02-01T05:31:00.000+01:00Hi Matt,I read your experience of registering a bu...Hi Matt,<BR/>I read your experience of registering a business in Croatia with growing interest, as I am about to go down that road myself. I recently spent 3 months in the country sussing out opportunities for the establishment of an adventure tour program, on behalf of my foreign employer. Anyway I think the place rocks and has great potential for our program. I've had to do the lickety-split, as my time was up, and am now enjoying the Australian summer. <BR/><BR/>After meeting with embassy officials in Oz I'm feeling a little intimidated by the mountain of paperwork which is associated with registering a company (in my case a branch office) in Croatia. While I cannot re-enter Croatia on a travel visa before mid-march, I'm keen to get the ball rolling with the application ASAP. I'm seeking the advice of an english speaking immigration attorney/lawyer in Croatia to assist me with the application process. I am wondering if you have any contacts from your experience you could please put me in touch with? Any inside advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, mate.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06972629827850673027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33967826.post-86977219185096643822008-01-28T13:37:00.000+01:002008-01-28T13:37:00.000+01:00Cintiq FTW!

I hear it's not as portable as the hype might imply.<BR/><BR/>Obama yes -Hillary uh-uh. I can't believe the degree to which Bill is willing to soil what was becoming a very rosey legacy. His recent race-bating has been shocking. Personally the Clinton years were good to me and mine so to be sure there's a certain amount of nostalgia for the 90's, but to be honest I never want to see another boomer in office again -time for a less polarized, less self-centered generation to move in. And can you imagine that we might have an attractive first lady for once?Marc Hudginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13832629213236899304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33967826.post-36020319708702126952008-01-26T18:00:00.000+01:002008-01-26T18:00:00.000+01:00Hey Yo Matt, I'm curious what you think of this Jo...Hey Yo Matt, I'm curious what you think of this <A HREF="http://www.charlierose.com/shows/2007/11/29/1/charlie-rose-special-edition-the-candidates" REL="nofollow">John Edwards interview</A>.
