Lot of raw nerves out there.

Boycott Super 99. Simple, effective, a message to the party going on in Miami. It's time for the people to show their power and their opinion.

Medellin
Jim Tosch replied to Bonnie's topic in Outdoor Activities (Tourism, Recreation, Sightseeing, Nature Hikes, etc.)
Bonnie, i have been to Medellin frequently. If you will call me at 67425204 I will share what I know. It will be much easier than e mail. Jim Tosch -
depends on how fast you were going and who you are. I got stopped by a motorcycle for going twelve kph too fast. I got out of the car and asked him how much it would cost. He said over 100, maybe 150 he responded while writing the ticket. About then my wife got out of the car. She is Panamanian. They talked for a few minutes, he smiled, completed the ticket and said it would cost me $20 in the Chiriqui Mall. And that is what I paid the next week.

Boquete: Why Some Leave and Others Stay
Jim Tosch commented on Phyllis Mc's blog entry in A Bit of Boquete Bliss
For those considering, as I am, continuing their journey South, this may be the perfect time. China's slowdown, the strength of the dollar and airfare wars have made South America as cheap as it is likely to be ever again. -
Thoughts about gringos selling vehicles
Jim Tosch replied to Chica de Chiriqui's topic in Idle Chatter / Personal Musings
I am flabbergasted. We live in a global economy. People and corporations are moving all over the world. Are they all hurting the locals or is it improving lives all over the world? More Mexicans are returning to Mexico than immigrating to the US. Think people. There were very few car sales here before and who is repairing those cars now? -
"Federal Mall" Construction project
Jim Tosch replied to Marcelyn's topic in Miscellaneous Chiriquí Topics
just keep this in mind. Politics rules. The power in David is downtown. Why did Campeon open downtown. We expats better sit back and watch. Where are the government offices. Stay tuned. -
Marcelyn, am so pleased that someone, you, have reacted. This is culture changing for Panama. Smart young people will see a new world. Please keep me posted about new info you gather. I wish it could be near Boquete but I can't seem to get anybody moving. David will need the energy and Boquete is a perfect college town. Good luck!
