Anyone moved outside of the US to bootstrap your business?
brown: I'm currently operating in Manila.  Low cost of living.  Extremely cheap local labor (hiring system admins for about USD$5k per year).  People speak English well.  Very American-ized environment, so minimal culture shock.  There's a growing call center culture here, so bandwidth is pretty reliable.  VC community is small but active.  Manila lacks a big talent pool of software engineers.  We've been experimenting with setting up an office in India as well to remedy that problem.I was in Beijing for about 6 months.  I would not recommend that unless you either (a) speak Mandarin fluently or (b) plan on staying there for the long haul.  Engineers were highest quality I've seen though.
