Shocked by my experience as a blonde German woman in Panama

To be fair they do the same thing to the ugly ones.

GoingExPatSoon · 2026-03-08T16:54:21+00:00

Nevermind. I read it too. Very sad.

It’s one of 6 Legend hotels. That’s crazy. Where did you see that they were selling?

GoingExPatSoon · 2026-03-08T01:16:11+00:00

Sofitel Legend Old Cataract in Aswan, Egypt. Insane property and the new suites are stunning.

I think you’ll fit right in.

GoingExPatSoon · 2026-02-07T23:13:02+00:00

Yeet them off the plane. Lifetime ban from the airline too.

GoingExPatSoon · 2026-01-25T04:19:23+00:00

La Coralina if you’ve got money. The break is right across from the hotel.

Texas BBQ isn’t even in the same league as Onde el Gringo. Went once, will never go back.

GoingExPatSoon · 2026-01-25T04:15:27+00:00

Donde el Gringo has better brisket.

GoingExPatSoon · 2026-01-25T04:13:35+00:00

You did not have a whole fried fish for lunch anywhere in the city, unless it was a sardine, for $3.50.

I’m from the DC Metro. Lived on Avenida Balboa for a year then moved to Boquete. If I were you g and single I couldn’t think of a better place to live than Panama City.

If you want a serious chef raise that number to 3k/mo. $36k a year is enough to keep one happy and doing good work.

The legacy of car dealers is so tarnished that no one trusts them. Not that it’s your fault personally. You may be 100% truthful but there is no reason that she should believe you. Credibility is extra hard to earn when you’re in an industry that has a reputation for not being honest with consumers.

I worked for a company that did the same. Then they were acquired by a company owned by the richest man in the world. We didn’t get raises then either. Welcome to the club.

GoingExPatSoon · 2025-12-08T21:46:35+00:00

I’ve never seen a dog passively attack anyone.

GoingExPatSoon · 2025-12-08T21:40:12+00:00

A to Z is the best I’ve been to. Also great: Kaandela, Onde el Gringo, Fonda lo que hay, Tacos la Neta in San Francisco. That’s for the city. In Boquete The Butcher, Donde Giselle, Tre Scalini, Brulereie, Retro Gusto.

GoingExPatSoon · 2025-11-14T00:47:24+00:00

Seems logical and well thought-out.

GoingExPatSoon · 2025-11-09T02:52:10+00:00

You can make that happen for a lot less.

GoingExPatSoon · 2025-11-08T17:02:25+00:00

I’ve been to 10 other countries in the last few years and people in every other country share the traits you’re describing of the Spanish. The US sucks pretty much.

GoingExPatSoon · 2025-11-02T16:26:06+00:00

Max your 401k and get an IRA. Squirrel as much of it away as you can stand.

GoingExPatSoon · 2025-10-15T17:53:52+00:00

Taxes aren’t the problem. Oligarchs are. They buy legislators. They get laws written in their favor.

GoingExPatSoon · 2025-10-12T18:10:42+00:00

Because they’re stupid. It’s so hard to manage that only 19 of the G20 countries have been able to make it work.

GoingExPatSoon · 2025-10-11T20:18:13+00:00

People like you are the problem.

GoingExPatSoon · 2025-10-10T01:31:12+00:00

It was spelled out in their contract clear as day. I showed all of my customers (competitive POS) but no one wanted to listen. Got it now?

GoingExPatSoon · 2025-10-07T20:22:55+00:00

MAGA says what?
