i may be wrong....but didn't i read somewhere that this project is just a larger scale of another projecct that did the studies.....and had their permits to build?? There seems to be a lot of promises made by the developers to buy a brand new equipped ambulance.....air conditioners......solar panels for all the schools....and who else knows what more?? I wouldn't doubt, the the speed this project is going, that there must've been some HUGE PAYOFFS to the government officials also. (of course we will never know this.....but since when do things go so fast in sxm?) Time will tell.....

Who knows...with the possibility of a President Trump here in the USA, and his obvious ties and financial commitments to China, that SXM is just another step closer to the US economy. We may be speaking Mandarin not just at home soon....but also on our vacations.... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
