Hahaha. Just wait a moment. I live in Panama for 5 years now. I am originally from Germany. You have “white” Panamanians who don’t like “darker” Panamanians. Example number 2: I live in Nueva Gorgona. In my street, at the beginning do live the “white” Panamanian neighbors. In the middle the more “darker” neighbors. In the end - you get it - living the black neighbors. So when I looked for a place to rent, I compared what I get for the money. So we agreed to rent the house in Nueva Gorgona. I had to put in some elbow grease to fix and paint. But I only pay $350 for a 2 bedroom house. The 1st 12 months was only $250 a month. The owner didn’t had money to fix the house. So I paid for it and the owner reduced the rent by $100 a month to pay me back. So anyway. Couple months later, I am sitting together with my neighbors around my house. After a couple beers, one of my neighbors asked: Aren’t you are not too “white” for this area? 😂 - This video is a couple months old. And the BROOKS are newcomers. You hear that even with the driving. Panamanians do NOT drive defensively. They drive aggressively! Stopping on a crosswalk? If you walk, you better watch out! They do NOT STOP free will. On the other hand, they really really slow down before they turn off a street. I’m driving since I arrived 5 years ago. - After 14 years going in Canada through winters with minus 30 to lower than minus 41 degrees Celsius, I really like to sweat! Believe me! I do not have an air conditioning in my house. A fan is just fine. Panamanians ask me sometimes: Are you not sweating? I just answer: No señior. I am dripping! 😂

First off: do you speak, understand, read Spanish fluently? Do you understand the culture? Five years is not enough to fully understand the culture. Second: there is no outcasting in Panama because of your skin tone. In fact, most Panamanians are of a darker complexion with a minority being lighter (foreigners like Venezuelans/Colombians don't count). LThe main problem is classism. There are plenty of rich people who are darker complected; the mestizos. Whatever skin tone outcasting (can't use the actual wording due to YT's censuring), exists, it is not as egregious as it is in the U.S. Facts!

@@user-vz3fh6oj7d You don’t live in a “normal street “ outside of Panama City. I do. And yes. All streets outside of Panama are like the streets I live in. If you don’t live in a gated community. Playa Uverito the same. David the same. I do not have to speak Spanish fluently to see how people live. Nobody has. And you know perfectly well that the darker community in Panama lives in very poor conditions. You don’t agree? Then you know nothing about Panama. Listen. I don’t write anything I didn’t experienced in Panama. There are many singles in Panama. I did speak with “white” Panamanian women. And if you are not interested in a relationship because you don’t know if you stay, you are thinking about guys who are looking for a relationship. So I showed pictures of my buddies who were “available “. BLACK?! No way. I DON’T MIX! - Yes. I had Panamanian female friends who did sit beside me and tried to explain that not all women were like her. But it exists. And in 5 years, I did hear that many times. So please. Don’t tell Westerners that racism doesn’t exist in Panama. If you are Panamanian - you don’t know your own country!

I was in Panama in 2022 for 11 days and sightseeing and just was so amazed that I came back on a tour the following year in 2023 through a tour assistant organization. Visited a different Townsend cities to get a feel for where I would like to land, preferably as a snowbird, I think for starters and ultimately moving to Panama. Everything Glenn and Sherrie just showed you and said it’s absolutely the God-given truth about the country the food, the people, the quality of life, and your spirit being released to freedom to be yourself. so if you haven’t visited, you need to put that on your bucket list. There’s a black expert organization there and blacks are coming and gross to make Panama their home. I’m on my way. I have the legal advice that I need the real estate advice that I need which was all part of the package I just need to put things into motion now For this coming winter months. Lainey

Hello, I understand - the weather is definitely something you have to consider. We have been here a year now and I am getting acclimated to the heat and humidity in the city. I prefer it to the cold in the northeast and also my allergies flaring up from the change in seasons. Hope you enjoy your trip here.

After watching your "the Good the Bad the Ugly" vid, I feel like I already know you two. My 83 yo APhiA frat brother (Walt Maloy) visited last fall and got his permanent visa this past Spring. He's encouraging me to come down; and I will soon. Hope to meet you two then.

Would like to visit soon especially since a friend to the family is from Panama. Costa Rica has been a place for retirees but being with my people matters to me. Is it better to rent or buy & what's the going rate for a 3 bed room/ 2 bath?
@glennandsheribrooksjr2 күн бұрын
@@kevinjackson1165 we would suggest rent for a year so that you can decide if and where you want to buy. The rates fluctuate relative to where in the country you’re going to be. If you’re in the city that can cost 1500-2500 depending on where in the city you are. Hope that helps!

@@bridgettWA absolutely I’d always recommend working with an attorney. It’s worth the cost so that you don’t have the headaches. Ours was amazing. Let me know if you want her information! As far as bugs and pets go, Panamanian love their pets and Panama is in a rainforest so you’ll always find bugs here and there! However they’ve never been a problem for us because we live in the city and we’ve never run into anything major like scorpions 🦂 for example. Hope that helps.

I am a 46 year old empty nester, educator of 12 years, and I am ready to relocate outside of the country. I am Afro-Latina( Boriqua). I am ready to experience peace and acceptance in a place where I can serve the community and enjoy life. Would I be able to find teaching or administrative work in the education sector? I am certified in K-8 all subjects, K-12 Special Education, and I have my second masters in educational leadership with certification. I would like to look into relocating in May of 2025 at the end of the upcoming school year. I do have property here and debating on selling everything and home.. I would appreciate your input.

Thank you for tuning in. The traffic is something different here, the taxi drivers drive aggresively and the motorcyles/scooters can be a bit alarming as they zoom through traffic. The drivers here are extremely aware of the constant shifting in traffic, it is like a well orchastrated dance on most days, but it only takes a split second for one person to move out of place. We have only witnessed a few fender benders, no major accidents and the volume of traffic is more of a concern. So you have to pack your patience and I do not recommend any tourist to attempt to drive here unless you are up to the challenge.

Let me ask an extremely unusual question. Is it possible to buy a good quality, working TYPEWRITER in Panama? I'm a published writer but not books. I have a love / hate relationship with computers (mostly hate). Thanks. PS - if one can't buy one there, can one be shipped from the states successfully? Can you ship your household goods from the states via shipping container? Fees? Taxes?

Yes depending on how loud the noise… but that’s Panamá 🇵🇦 ( where we live it’s usually the sounds coming from the University of Panama that we hear mostly) We have two parking spaces in our building. Most buildings are going to give you at least one parking space per you. But we don’t have a car nor do we plan on getting one because we don’t need it. So for us, it really doesn’t matter.

The very bad in Panama? That delivery drivers have no idea where they going. Even if you send them the location via WhatsApp. They get lost. You have to jump into your car and pick them up on the main road or little supermarket and tell them to follow you! And then the very very loud music! I lived 10 months directly on the beach in Playa Uverito. From Friday afternoon until Sunday night, you can’t get any sleep. 50-100 cars show up and every car is playing their own music as loud as they can. They don’t care about the people who live there! - Living in Nueva Gorgona - neighbors play music loud until 4am if they celebrate. A point that I didn’t like to live on the beach was exactly that behavior! My lot that I bought is on the “wrong” side of the InterAmericana highway. If you lost everything in the pandemic, you look what you can afford. And lots across the highway are by far cheaper. And I do not like to live in a gated community!

You can buy frozen fish at the market, but we’ve not seen any supermarkets to sell fresh fish. Not sure why but we think it’s because we’re so close to the Mercado De Marisco Cinta Costera 🤷🏾♂️
