Have you tried glossy magazine paper yet? It may not be as
good as some of the photo papers but I've had pretty good
results just using pages torn out of periodicals. It will
give you something to work with until you find a suitable
source of something that you can get locally.

Personally I gave up on all the paper based processes and
only use Press 'n' Peel now. Too much farting around with
soaking, peeling and rough trace edges. But for a quick
inexpensive simple PCB, magazine paper can work remarkably
well.
