I really hate when I stumble onto situations such as the one I read about this morning in Boquete Guide.
Perhaps with a little more publicity, this will be reversed.

Sometimes I wake up a little cynical. I may start thinking that Non-Panamanians living in Panama have many challenges that people that are thinking about moving to Panama never consider before making the move. I doubt that these challenges are solely a Panama problem and they may be challenges encountered by anyone that lives in [...]
