I'm moving to some shithole in South America by the end of this year.

Any ideas on how to exploit their naivety and possibly setup a somewhat successful business?

I have a friend who went to Ecuador and setup a PC repair station. He says that a PC takes approximately a day and a half to reformat and setup due to the shit download speeds ~40 kb/s. A reformat is 80 bucks around here and he charges 20 there. That's so fucking low.

I was also thinking about setting up some T-shirt printing business? People go crazy over "American" designs; ugly shit like gigantic eagles and motobikes and other. T-shirts with designs sell for $25 and thats a shitton of money for a shirt. That's like $90 for a shirt here. Just gotta sell at least 4 shirts per day and you're set. But the printing/stamping machine is about 5k and the inks don't ship out of the U.S. Maybe other brands do.

Any ideas?

    What makes you think people in Ecuador have $25 to spend on novelty t-shirts?

    I have friends that live there and tell me. I've also been visiting Ecuadorian shopping sites and have seen several of these priced over $25.

    People over there are wayyy different from here. They might be piss-poor and in debt, but they'll manage to shed some bucks on an "awesome" shirt or party.
