My biggest concern with Boquete is that is seems residents must constantly battle mold. I'm not sure how available whole house dehumidifiers are, but that kind of appliance seems essential to prevent mold from damaging paper/books, leather goods/clothing, and ones health.

Ré, can you start making Pros and Cons videos ? I think your style is excellent for that type of video. Especially since alot of folks are facing confusion and having second thoughts about various countries due to factors of climate, crime, cartels, healthcare, droughts, visas, etc. Plus there is the very real problem of opposition about gentrification and takeover by foreigners. It's happening in Costa Rica and is going to grow.

@@adventurefreaksss Maybe take the issues you usually cover like cost of living, food, healthcare, what people can do (lifestyle), throw in other big topics that come up in your comments, like weather and transportation, and assign what you know to pros and cons. It might be good to do it on cities rather than countries since cost of living varies in a country along with availability of housing, healthcare, and other factors.

The climate in Panama City would force many of us to confine ourselves to air conditioning a lot of the time, which isn't any better than confining oneself because of cold in other places. Then there is the weakening economy because of the canal drought. High heat and humidity is probably not just a problem for older people.....(!!)

Panama City is good for a week visit, but it's a typical hot, humid, noisy, congested, and dirty city. There is no beach. $600 in Panama City will not get you a nice place. Boquette is nice weather wise, but it's rather boring, or maybe even extremely boring. Pay attention that at 5:50 he said a day trip to the beach is 4 (FOUR) hours round trip. That may be ok on a big bus, but in a car, truck, or van it's not woth the pain after a certain age.

I've never been there, but I have come to the same conclusion from watching videos. Maybe it's my age in my 60s. I just wouldn't be able to handle congestion, noise, heat or humidity, whether in Central America, Malaysia, Vietnam or Dubai. Not to mention living close to war zones like Europe or parts of Asia, or near drug cartels. It would be like going from the frying pan of the Woke culture of North America to the fires of other countries with the other problems.
