Immigration law changes/enforcement by joyfulfeet_immigration
Please everyone be aware, there are big immigration law changes coming very soon. What this means is that it is very likely that immigration to Panama is going to get more strict as this has been a worldwide trend around the world for a few years ...

home invasions and other dangers - plus... sheep by Ramouz
Hi guys, We've been looking at both Portugal and Panama as we want to leave Canada. We visited Panama for 2 weeks and liked it a bit. Made 2 friends. My wife is from Guatemala and I already lived there for 4 years so we know how the area ...
Hi, dumluk. What you wrote is scary! You lost count of the robberies?! You were robbed in your own house more than 10 times or what?! Were you at home during the robberies? Was it during the night? If so, did they have guns? Read More
New in town by mag420
Retired to David a month or so ago. As President Truman said, 'If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen'..... Well as one from the US Southwest, the heat here is...... well hot. But not hot enough to get us out. We like ...
Does one need air conditioning to live in David? Can locals, or well adapted expats, face the hottest temperatures without suffering? If not, when (night/day) and where (living room or elsewhere) do you/they use air conditioning? Read More

Fruits in Panama by Drock
Hi, After visiting Panama for a few weeks, I did not get too many surprises, including thanks to the information provided on this forum. The country is fine in many aspects. I enjoyed it, but I will be negative here regarding the fruits. I was ...
@kristc99 This is not exactly what is usually called granadilla in most parts of the world. Granadilla is smaller, can be opened just the one hand, and it is very good raw (it is like passion fruit, but sweeter; it is so good!). See ... Read More
Why we really left Boquete... by AuntieFlo
It's my turn to write about what happened. It is helping me to deal with the anger and the loss. We had such high hopes when we came to Panama. We wanted to live simpler, lower-cost lives. We also hoped to build something here, something that would ...
@brownsand My understanding of Panama is that there is a lot of freedom and some corruption. As far as I understand, this idea of denunciation to authorities does not seem very much in the spirit of the country--I would be interested by views of ... Read More

I agree with Do65 that the fruits have the advantage to be local and probably organic or close. Regarding vegetables, I was not impressed by the variety, but I did not look for them. Regarding the fruits, let us be objective. I made a list with ... Read More

Regarding cacao pods, I am not sure. At least, you can eat the raw seeds, which are sold in European organic store nowadays. Grenadias are like maracuyas (passion fruits), but sweeter. There are excellent and really should be grown and sold ... Read More

Just coming back from Riba Smith! This supermarket seems to be more expensive than the others I have seen (for the exact same products). But they also seem to have some products of a bit higher quality than in the other supermarkets I have seen so ... Read More
