that's what I say I been living here now for 11 years and I've done my tm 30 when I move permanent never when I'm out travelling and staying in hotels for a week or two.
Tim don't listen to the losers in here they talk of there own experience and that makes them losers. There is like in every country good and bad ass. I find my girl 11 years ago, married now for 5 years. We live on my small pension and we can live ten times better down here then if I lived in Europe. Go for the tourist visa and extend then you have 90 days. Good luck mate.๐
