Panamanians Lie a lot

So I know you may all say that this is natural, but I don’t lie. I have no need to lie 24/7. The odd time I feel the need to lie to protect myself, but is it a normal course of my every day life? Absolutely NOT!!! I may lie once or twice a year, … Read more

Panamanians are very immature

I really didn’t understand this at first, but I’ve finally come to the conclusion that most Panamanians are very very immature. This is probably why nothing works well in this country, because most immature people have no desire to improve themselves. Immature people generally don’t care about others & they have little to no conscious, … Read more

Panamanians don’t take responsibility

Panamanians don’t take responsibility for their actions nor apologize when they do something negative So I have come to learn in the last several months that Panamanians just refuse to take responsibility for their actions. That of course is part of being immature (see my post on how Panamanians are immature). I thought it was … Read more

Can’t be honest

Panamanians just can’t be honest. I don’t know what it is. Example… I was looking for a house to rent & the construction workers across the street said the house next door was for rent. They called the owner & he came right over. My price range was $400 or less, so I sent Marie … Read more

Panamanians can be very very immature

I’ve only been in Panama for 4 months & while I heard from one woman that Panamanian men are very immature,  I had to see for myself. Well today was an example worth noting that yes, some (or many) Panamanians are very immature. In the neighborhoods that aren’t in the city, there’s often small vans … Read more

Panamanians aren’t known for their grace

Unfortunately when it comes to Panamanians they aren’t very respectful of other human beings. Just one example is that any time I get someone who doesn’t speak English, they will just hang up the phone on me. The odd time they will try to find someone who speaks English, but other times they just hang … Read more

Blasting Music for 3.5 hours straight

Yes I knew that this may be a problem, but I didn’t think I’d hear it SO loud in my apartment that I couldn’t even listen to a video or talk on the phone or hear any music I wanted to play from my computer. I couldn’t even take a shower in peace. They’ve never … Read more
