    Have been seeing this production advertised on other sites. Looks like fun. https://tikly.co/events/1128 Theatre Guild of Ancon presents The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) at the Ampitheatre at Valle Escondido SAT MAR 26 5:00 PM One Night Only!! Saturday, March 26th at 5PM Following a successful 3 week run in Panama City at the Theatre Guild, the cast and crew are taking to the road to bring you this hilarious production in Boquete. For one night only, the cast of 3 actors will perform at the Ampitheatre in Valle Escondido resort. The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) parodies the 37 plays of Shakespeare with all of them being performed in shortened or amalgamated form by only three actors, and in just 97 minutes! Expect a fast-paced, gag-a-second delight that will leave you gasping for more.

  2. Instead of dealing with one problematic individual, a whole new policy was put in place which will, without a doubt, further inhibit the sharing of unpaid information.
  3. This seems to be a perennial short term effort in this area of Boquete by some folks. If people really want to help the children of that community, they should assist them in becoming documented so that they can participate in the national 'beca' or scholarship program, imo.
  4. After serious trimming and cleaning, the average filete de res, or tenderloin, yields about 48 ounces or 3 pounds of bliss. We use 7 ounces plus a bacon wrapper on the filet mignons that we have prepared for Christmas Eve.

  6. You can order online and have your stuff sent here. RS online offers over 16,000 items. No doubt they will be opening a store in the new bus terminal Mall in David.

  10. When I was opening my first account in Boquete, both Banco General and Global Bank had just inaugurated their new branches. Since both institutions seemed to be equally reputable, and because it rains a lot here, I chose the one with covered parking and no stairs. Scotiabank and Caja de Ahorros are also worth looking at, imo.
  11. AS ALCOHOL fueled highway deaths continue to mount, including the recent death of a police officer hit by a drunken woman driver, National Police (PN) units across the country are stepping up operations to get impaired drivers off the road. In the early hours of Sunday March 6, armed with breathalysers they launched spot checks across the country to tackle the problem, and booked many drivers, including taxis. The PN announced via Twitter that the checks will continue to help reduce carnage on the roads.. http://www.newsroompanama.com/news/panama/blitz-on-impaired-drivers
  12. "..Call her on her cell phone, and you don't have to deal with a receptionist. 6615-6740"
  13. The headline is misleading. The real story is in the byline. "Insurers are obliged to cover accidents involving alcohol consumption" Currently Insurers can refuse to pay costs of an accident if a driver is impaired. Of course, the consequences of this legislation is that Insurers will be paying out a lot more in claims and premiums will rise.
  14. The underlying problem in many countries, to my mind, is that those with wealth and power do not benefit from a smart, knowledgeable populace. The decline of education systems and standards for the masses in North America almost seems to be inversely proportional to the continuing concentration of wealth among fewer and fewer people. It's nothing new, aristocrats and demagogues around the globe have been using this modus operandi forever to control others.
  15. Somewhat ironically, this is a picture of one of the Ministry of Health's own clinics in the Comarca.
  16. This article is in today's LaPrensa. Translation by freetranslation. The Ministry of Health (MINSA) inspected recently, 30 private clinics and laboratories in the province of Chiriqui, where a considerable number had irregularities. Luis Carlos Bravo, of the Department of Environmental Sanitation of the MINSA, mentioned that were found with staff not ideal, lack of pest control, bad management of hazardous wastes and inadequate facilities, among other aspects. Bravo did not specify the amount of clinics where they found these anomalies; limited himself to say that this was in the great "majority" of the clinics. The official said that they made a call of attention to the clinics that were visited and which do not comply with health regulations. "This is the first stage, the so-called care; if then continue with the irregularities we will proceed with a fine not exceeding the 500 dollars," he added. In case you do not have suitable staff, you will then go to the judicial, he said. Bravo detailed that inspections will continue in private clinics, laboratories and veterinary; i.e., any establishment that has to have a suitability given by the Technical Council of Health. - See more at: http://www.prensa.com/provincias/Chiriqui-Detectan-irregularidades-clinicas_0_4429057162.html#sthash.zPS11LgD.dpuf
  17. Roger, it's not just in Panama that education systems have deteriorated. I just now saw this quote by a well known U.S. journalist. "In 100 years we have gone from teaching Latin and Greek in high school to teaching Remedial English in college." -- Joseph Sobran
  18. In that case Doug, I would recommend the other option of having a local notary witness your signatures. The apostille process at the Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores in Panama City does not require your presence and could be handled by a third party.
  19. This is an op-ed piece reprinted from LaPrensa yesterday on education in Panama. http://www.newsroompanama.com/news/panama/media-watch-back-to-school-and-the-burden-of-ignorance I think many people fail to realize that this is a relatively young country with a relatively young culture when they criticize local folks for not understanding a communication or a task they might consider to be simple. Most of us with European or Oriental heritage for example, including many Panamanians, have the benefit of knowledge, customs, and manners which were spawned over many centuries of civilization. However, that just isn't the case with many folks in and around rural areas such as Boquete.
