Building with B.R.I.C.'s

So Russ H sparked a thought in my head that I'd like to get some insight on from the forum. Russ remarked on the American state of belief:

GREAT comments on the huffington post:

Super Efficient Crew Builds 15-Story Chinese Hotel In Just SIX DAYS (VIDEO)

Instead of looking at this w/awe, many of the posters see it as unsafe, and just not feasible.

A point made by someone: Americans are too accustomed to being "on top" and "the best"-- they can't realize/see/admit when someone else accomplishes something incredible.

I see that attitude as very telling-- the points made are: Why are we not looking at how this was done, and seeing if we could learn something from it?

Instead, posters would rather run-down another up-and-coming world power-- instead of seeing the US as falling behind.

-Russ H.

This prompting brought me back into the book by Harry Dent discussing that the United States currently isn't in a depression, but actually in a demographic shift representative of the Baby Boomer's retiring and that the economic climate will continue as follows until 2019 when birth rates rebound. So with America CLEARLY falling behind in many areas economically, and the primary growth drivers with burgeoning middle classes being Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC), which country would you start your FL internet plan in?

Brazil with the upcoming events (World Cup, etc.) is very attractive however the entrepreneurial barriers are significant. Very challenging to incorporate and banking can be difficult. Research has said that it can take up to a year to get the corp and banking.

Russia, I'd love someone with experience to weigh in here

India, Firsthand experience would be great. Certainly highly educated, and inexpensive labor pool makes it a great resource for fulfillment of a US business, but how about the prospect of starting a business in India?

China, would love some firsthand insights here as well...

Given the broad availability of translation software, skype, etc. the globe is a great playground, however researching the host country is key and I'd love some of the International FL'ers to weigh in...
