Another sunny and breezy day. It´s late in the day and I´m just now ready for lunch, waiting for my grilled tuna sandwich with a tall glass of fresh squeezed pineapple juice! After all, this is the famous “Tuna Coast” of Pacific Panama.
I certainly hope those reading this information about living in Panama can arrange a trip down soon. And see for themselves the beauty of the Azuero Peninsula, the tranquility of the town of Pedasi and the...
Hello folks. I wasn't sure where to post this, so many places I could have and not sure if I put it where the most people could read it and help them. But since El Valle is my town I posted it here. Maybe the people who run this site will see fit to place it where it belongs, on another page or in the trash.
My name is Mark. I moved to Panama 8 years ago. I used to write for International Living on their expat exchange site. I wrote over...
~~One of the delightful things we enjoy about Panama is the lack of strict laws and regulations. It’s been said Americans live to work, Panamanians work to live. Recently, as I was glancing out our floor-to-ceiling windows in our Panama City 34th floor apartment, I saw someone parachuting past us down toward the Cinta Costera. As it turned out, a group of base jumpers advertising a stick deodorant were taking turns jumping from the 62 story building next to us. When we told a...
Good friends, good coffee, great climate. Why not check out Boquete?
It was sad seeing the changes in America in the 2009, 2010, 2011 years. Obama had proven to be a total disillusionment. The rising cost of living was hitting us hard with increased costs for medical care and fuel, higher taxes, and Obamacare looming out there at the time. We were worried. Arne worked and earned good money as a freelance sound-man mostly for Lockheed...
When a looming medical procedure is staring you down, you want straight talk and cold facts. You might even turn your investigation to a world wide solution. In that case, you’ll want Shai, comparing healthcare services and crunching the numbers for you. Jet Metier talked to Shai Gold about why he chose Panama to direct the international community to its shores for a medical destination and why he deals with veracity, even if it is not pretty.
As we arrived early to our appointed visit at the third floor dermatologist office we encountered a lone, smiling face and asked him if the receptionist had already arrived.
"No, she doesn't get here until 9:30" he tells us.
We thanked him and then he asked if we were from the USA. Of course he was too!
This is so typical of Panama. You say something to each other and a person overhears the English or the...
I was recently asked about the healthcare available in the Coronado area of Panamá. In order to answer that question and at the same time, give you a more holistic view of healthcare in general in Panamá (so you don't have to worry), we can look to portions of the history of Panamá.
Panamá has traditionally been known by other nations as a passageway to move from the Atlantic to the Pacific and vice-versa. Since the construction...
Colón was named after Christopher Columbus. It is a seaport, located on the north side of Panamá, surrounded by the Atlantic (Caribbean Ocean). In the early years, around 1950, Colón attracted workers of the new railroad construction, and many families, mainly from England and the Caribbean settled here, making it one of the most important cities in the region...
In the part of the year she is not in Colorado, Anne-Michelle Wand experiences her continued romance with the warm Caribbean and the idyllic beaches that dot the shores of Bocas Del Toro, Panama. Anne-Michelle tells Jet Metier how lovely it is to boat on placid waters, camp on a deserted island and other reasons to pack your surfer jams and sexy, black maillot to see for yourself.
Every time that you research buying something, traveling or doing something out of the ordinary, you take the necessary steps to get the most out of it, and make the best possible decision. Usually, if it´s a purchase online, you read the comments, and base a good percentage of your decision on the opinions of other people who have tried the product or service before you.
