South Africans in Panama?

Post new topic

Can anyone tell me - from a South African perspective - what it's like living in Panama? How do South Africans adapt and fit in?

Hi
I have lived in Panama for a while now.
Its a developing country with much opportunity. 
It has its pros and cons but I love it.  My kids were born here and we have settled in very well.
The climate is very tropical, once you get used to the humidity you will love it.
As far as living out of South Africa I think its a good choice.
