I would like to hear from any of the readers who have been to this island or bookmakers who are on this island. I would just like to know more about it. I have looked on the net but there is little information. Thankks for all your help.

funny thing, i was just talking to this guy at the casino last night. he is of indian background, who are found all over these islands, including trinidad, etc. he has businesses in both aruba and panama.
anyway, i was curious about aruba, so among the things he mentioned was: it is strictly a tourist/gambling country. they have nothing else. minimum salary around 800 us a month, tax rate around 57 percent, yes 57 percent, housing is extremely expensive, and that it is indeed a lovely country and a great time.
apparently, the u.s. has now opened up some kind of base there to compensate for the loss of panama. there are also some major changes in their financial structure due to large money laundering, whatever that is.
that is it, fresh off the press.

Curacao is a beautiful Island - If you are ever in the Caribbean area or on a cruise in the Caribbean I definately suggest Curacao as one of your stops.
Great people, good food, tons of Culture, and many things to do in the sun and on the beaches.
Visit http://www.curacao.com/index2.html if you are interested in additional info.

I have been to the site many times. I may be moving there soon. I would like to no more about the city in general terms. Laws crime reates etc. etc..... That site that you have listed does have some good info.
