In order to get a permit to have a gun in the Republic of Panama, you have to be living in Panama legally.  You have to go through a background check / psychological check, and you even have to take the gun to a gun range and prove that you can shoot.
 
They will take your gun through a ballistic test to make sure it hasn’t been used in a crime.
 
Once they check all of that, they issue a permit for five years.

The construction of homes in Portugal is very different than homes in England because homes in Portugal are built with bricks and tiles. Homes here are not very as well insulated as in England because of the difference in the weather. Portuguese use a lot of ceramic tiling, large terraces, and big windows. Central heating was just introduced in Portugal in the last 10 years. Air-conditioning is not very common because it is not needed unless you are in Lisbon since Lisbon is hotter than...

The construction of homes in Portugal is very different than homes in England because homes in Portugal are built with bricks and tiles. Homes here are not very as well insulated as in England because of the difference in the weather. Portuguese use a lot of ceramic tiling, large terraces, and big windows. Central heating was just introduced in Portugal in the last 10 years. Air-conditioning is not very common because it is not needed unless you are in Lisbon since Lisbon is hotter than in Cascais.
 
The architecture here in Portugal is different than in England because it is more Mediterranean. We use tiles and white walls. We usually have large living areas and bedrooms. We have big windows and French doors that open up to big terraces. There are terraces in the bedroom.
 
The construction of older homes here in Portugal is even more rustic; it’s more Portuguese. The way they do the tiles and the windows and doors these days are different. Most builders here now use aluminum and double-glazed glass.

Although it is difficult to narrow down all of the things you may be happily surprised about when moving or retiring abroad, I will pick one that has made the most difference in my life:  The feeling of rebirth and waking up!

There is one golf course here in the Cayo District, Belize and from San Ignacio it would be 30 minutes away. The name of the course is Roaring River Golf Course.
 
You can go in to play; absolutely. Outsiders are welcome. You don't need a reservation or anything like that.
 
Originally, they had some sort of villas on the property and you could, of course, stay there. They would serve you meals and you could stay there while you golf.

Originally, they had some sort of villas on the property and you could, of course, stay there. They would serve you meals and you could stay there while you golf.
 
The course has 18 holes and is privately owned.  It’s on the river. They call it a river, but it's more like a creek. It's a nice fresh water creek along the property.
 
Belizeans don't generally play a lot of golf.  The more affluent play on the weekends and then some expats play as well.
