Detailing my adventures when I lived in Panama
Can You Trust Moving Companies in Panama? I think the better question about moving companies in Panama is whether you can trust ANYONE in Panama. A discussion started where an expat wanted recommendations on moving companies in Panama. From there two other expats warned others about the reality in Panama in general, and specifically about … Read more
Another expats example of Panamanian stupidity, and remember, I didn’t write this… “i was waiting to use the atm the guy in front of me made or attempted to make 4 transactions. the forth attempt he received cash .. he then threw his receipt on the floor within 2 foot of a trash receptacle. i … Read more
So after trying to hire assistants & translators in Panama for over 2 years now, I’ve come to the conclusion that workers in Panama control employers: Companies have absolutely NO CONTROL over their employees. This is why you will see them all socializing with their friends at work instead of actually working. These workers talk … Read more
So here’s my drama story about Cable & Wireless in Boquete This house I’m living in now in Boquete actually has access to both Cable & Wireless & Cableonda. Because of all the problems with Cableonda, I decided to get Cable & Wireless as a backup. I waste time (if you read my last post … Read more
So from another expat, here’s one more example of the immature ego of Panamanians From reading between the lines, it’s all about immature ego. You know, like 12-16 year olds who have to show off to the entire high school because they are so insecure they need to get recognition from others. That’s also why … Read more
For some reason a lot of Panamanians tint their car windows. The only reason I can think that they do this is because they are suspicious of people seeing them. Unless you are doing something wrong, why would you care if someone sees you? I heard that Panamanians don’t trust one another, maybe this just … Read more
So I have a headache & wanted to go to bed, but can I? NO, OF COURSE NOT. Because people in Panama have no respect for others, they are very self centered & act like immature little children. There’s been a party going on for 9 hours straight. It started around 6 pm & it’s … Read more
While not all Panamanians are rude, here are examples of what we won’t see back home: One night the Union Fanoza (that’s Panama’s electric company) guy came by the house at 11:30 pm at night. Who the hell comes by at that hour to fix your electricity problems & trust me, Union Fanoza has a … Read more
So imagine my shock when I come to learn that in Panama you CAN’T even raise your voice a smidgen. If you do, it’s considered A SIN!!! I’m a very passionate person, so when I’m excited or angry, my voice goes up. Doesn’t mean I’m yelling, because trust me, you DON’T want to hear me … Read more
So I feel this needs to be discussed as I’ve seen it happen way too often. I don’t know if it’s just female Panamanians who are unclean, or it’s the males too, but when I go into the public washrooms, I’d say minimum 50% of the females don’t wash their hands after they go to … Read more
