Keith Woolford Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 (edited) We're all citizens of the global village as far as I'm concerned, but some are definitely more fortunate than others due to their birthplace or nationality, among other things.

JimAndNena Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Maybe Mr. Bolotin was just referencing US expats as they are probably the largest percentage of expats in Chiriquí? The membership here lists about 15 expats who claim Canada as their place of origin. That would make their percentage very low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Like some others, I found the posed question to be quite pretentious. But, the discussion has evolved toward one very important reason why this village is so appealing to us. Chiriqui and Boquete, in particular, is very cosmopolitan for its size. It's a delight to constantly meet people who live here that came from so many different places around the globe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even if there were only 15, there's no good reason to leave them out when addressing expat issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True enough, Bonnie, but I don't believe that Chuck was trying to be all inclusive with his posting. The variety of nationalities in Panama is nearly endless. I thought the entire posting was silly.
