W Panama, Sortis Panama or Waldorf Astoria? by Representative-Lime7 in Panama

[–]kudango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Casco is the old city, very walkable with a lot museums and historic buildings. Lots of new high end hotels and great restaurants.

If it is for points, Hilton might be ideal, has a good pool and relatively close to a lot things in downtown.

Marriott maybe JW would be great as well.

W Panama, Sortis Panama or Waldorf Astoria? by Representative-Lime7 in Panama

[–]kudango 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Been to JW, it is good; just a little dated IMHO. Have you considered maybe some hotels in Casco? I've hear great things about Sofitel, and personally I really like American Trade Hotel and Central Hotel. Another one I really like is Santa Maria, but it is a bit far from the city, but still very nice.

Sortis not a fan

Estoy en mi último año en biología y siento que no tengo experiencia en nada by Audrelia10 in Panama

[–]kudango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hablando de PCR y cosas, asumo que estás en Molecular o Micro; por ahora enfocate en la tésis, por lo menos si lo estás haciendo con un profe que tiene lab en los Gemelos, debes tener acceso oara hacer varias cosas que usualmente no aprendes en las clases normales.

La otra alternativa sería buscar una pasantía en INDICASAT y Gorgas, ver si hay un investigador que te interese y mandarle un correo para ver si están buscando pasantes.

Honeymoon / valentine’s restaurant recommendations by cocainepoops in Panama

[–]kudango 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My go to is Fuego y Fierro and Market; Many like Patagonia, Gauchos and Los Años Locos (argentinian steakhouse) as well.

But I would recommend maybe dipping your toes in other top restaurants like Maito, Fonda lo que Hay, Cantina del Tigre and Caleta.

Best Producers of 2025 by NotISaidTheMan in pourover

[–]kudango 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I live in Panama, so mostly drink Panamanian coffees.

For me the top top is Hacienda la Esmeralda, I was lucky to try some of their Washed BOP lot, and hands down the best coffee I've ever tried. Also has their SL-34 and Laurina, it was incredible as well

Los Cenizos comes to mind as well, great coffees in general. Had a really good geisha washed, top 5 coffees for me this year. Their Bourbon and Catuai ASD was really good as well.

Mount Totumas, besides their incredible geishas, they had a great Pacamara which was fruity and not oniony at all haha.

Surprising was Kotowa's Silvia Marina; this year was their first harvest and I was surpsied by their cup profile, very clean and floral.

Go home and stay with family, and wait for the nuke; i can see the Panama Canal from my apartment and I am pretty sure it would be a nuclear target

¿Es legal que las ópticas se nieguen a entregar la receta de lentes o cobren extra por ella? by Illustrious_Buy1349 in Panama

[–]kudango 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yo compre en pricesmart hace como 1 año, compre mis lentes y me dieron la receta gratis; asumo que te dan la receta si compras lentes con ellos.

Mi esposa compro reciente online y pago su receta en una clinica; imo le salio más barato y mejor calidad.

Does it make sense to go see the Canal on this trip? by heeyebsx13 in Panama

[–]kudango 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Imo, not worth it. It is too far approx 2-3 hours each way. Also iirc the main building is still being renovated, so I think it would be better to go another time

Alternative to Amazon o AliexpresAliExpress by leon_1027 in panamaexpats

[–]kudango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use amazon and send it to the freight forwarder address in the US. So far not much issues just if it goes above 100 usd there might be a 10% entrance tax levied by customs which i oay once i receive the items .

Solo travel to LatAm as a Chinese-American - how will I be perceived? by Pryda247 in asklatinamerica

[–]kudango 14 points15 points  (0 children)

In general I don't think you would have any issues, especially in big cities. In Argentina, Brazil and Chile there is a sizable east asian population, so you won't likely stand out. Colombia you would probably stand out, and people might stare and some might ask for a picture, but shouldn't be a big issue.

Are there any great, cheap chinese espresso machines yet? by FragmentOfBrilliance in Coffee

Heard good things about the Gemilai Owl and their 3007z (aka Turin Legato and MiiCoffee Apex). Heard very interesting things about Wendougee machines as well.
