Detailing my adventures when I lived in Panama
One thing I love about Panama, especially where I am now in Arraijan, are the birds. Normally I would be upset with them waking me up in Canada, but for some reason here they are beautiful with their musical melodies. I can sleep through them & when I’m working, it’s so soothing. I hope once … Read more
So today I had the luxury of playing with a baby monkey. For my visit to my Shaman for my medicinal bath, their neighbor bought this monkey from some guy who killed her mother (TERRIBLE!!!) Some of what amazed me is their tails. They have a sticky substance on the underside of the tail which … Read more
So I get to Panama, & before even touching down in Panama I already had the feeling (always trust your intuition) that there were going to be problems with Tom, this guy I’m renting a room from. While he did let me in the apartment, I told him that night because of what happened with … Read more
This is My Visa Run to Costa Rica Part II HUGE Drama So My Visa Run to Costa Rica Part II continued to be a MASSIVE stressful drama, and since I had just arrived in Panama, I wasn’t aware that drama is part of every day life in Panama. Aradelia Hernández Cell Phone 8861-21-40 E-mail: … Read more
My Visa Run to Costa Rica and the Stress I Went Through This is part I of My Visa Run to Costa Rica and details the story of the stress I went through with the first hotel I booked. So as I mentioned in the “about” page of this blog, my rants & complaints aren’t … Read more
I really don’t want it to seem like all I do is bring it out the negative, so I wanted to write this, as it’s a gorgeous day here in Panama. 10-22-11 Whenever there’s a breeze & the sun is shining, it’s wonderful. Plus, the birds are chirping in the background while I work. Have … Read more
So since I moved to Arraijan, taking the bus isn’t so bad going into Panama (assuming I get a taxi to the entrance of Noevo Chorreha (sp?) which can be hard to do), but it’s coming back home that’s a pain because the lineups are long at Albrook Terminal, & once you get on the … Read more
So I learned even before I decided to move to Panama, that there are a lot of cyber bullies in these Panamanian Yahoo groups & Panamanian forums. They are expats (the odd local) & they are mean, nasty & often talk down to newcomers who ask questions. I’m the type of person who asks a … Read more
So I’ve been a member of www.meetup.com for years now & I’ve been to a few (not a lot) of meetups on various different topics in various different cities – both business & social. Panama didn’t have any meetups, so I just put myself on notice to be notified when a new meetup for … Read more
I feel Gringos are just as bad as Panamanians – sometimes worse. Now when I use the word “Gringo”, I’m referring to ANY white person who comes to Panama to live. I don’t care what country they are from, but technically Gringos are only from the US. If you are thinking about coming to live … Read more
