Panama: waiting for David flight:

A hotel in David isn't going to be of much help. llseldon maybe you should read the original post !

Panama: Panama or France,which is best to retire to?:

I wouldn't put much stock in anything International Living put out. They pretty much have the rose colored glasses on.

Panama: A bit of trouble.:

For myself this thread has solidified my decision to continue renting and not to purchase. I have been seriously weighing the pros and cons of a purchase and this is not the first time I have heard of this kind of situation. I defiantly did not come down here to have to deal with that kind of BS. Life is to short.

Panama: Nightmare at the "Do-It Center" - Gringos Beware:

This whole story smells like the fish market in PC.

Panama: Car purchase and driving out Of the country:

If I was you I would check with the Canadian authorities before you buy one of the diesel trucks If I was a betting man I doubt they will let you import it as it doesn't even come close to meeting North American emissions laws. That's why Toyota Canada told me they don't sell certain models there. Plus all the other importation laws, you might find yourself at the Canadian border and not allowed to bring it into the country let alone not be able to register it. How much did ya save then. Just google importing vehicle into Canada, and good luck.

Panama: Overbearing Sales Clerks:

The other day my wife and I were in Albrook mall and I stepped into a optical shop to look at a new pair of frames. As usual the clerk was standing so close behind me I could feel her breathing down my neck and moving step for step, when I turned around I actually bumped into her .Ihave always wondered is this practice due to the high shoplifting problem or is this more of a cultural thing? Even if I was inclined to steal a pair of glasses that wasn't going to happen as they are all locked in the display rack. I have walked out of many stores because of this practice and they have lost many sales from me while just browsing. It really drives my wife insane. We just don't shop anymore we just purchase what we need and leave. I would appreciate any feed back to this.

Panama: mosquitos:

Boquete Girl I think your statement on the mosquitos at the very least misleading and has the potential to be very dangerous. Pay attention to the WHO.

Panama: Salvage Title Motorcycles:

Speaking from the point of view of someone who has been riding motorcycles for 40 years these are exactly salvage bikes which are meant to be parted out not licenced and road. As they have been total loss due to serious damage and aren't road worthy. If that is correct then keep them in the US as there is enough dangerous junk on the road hear already. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Panama: overselling by expats:

That is the loaded question of the decade! If you aren't prepared to actually go and do your own investigations and rely on the word of others then be prepared to be relieved of lots of money. Panama and Central America is full of people who didn't do their home work and are paying dearly for it. Those who put in the leg work have been successful and happy. Throw those rose colored glasses in the trash. Like the saying goes There are lots of sharks and they aren't all in the water.
