Basic law in Panama, Panama by 2FollowHim
In Panama, are you deemed 'innocent until proven guilty', or are you 'guilty until proven innocent'? So, if a policeman demanded a bribe, if you were caught on some minor infraction, and you declined and he then arrested you, what ...
A friend, only one on the road in the evening went too fast(not a lot, very conservative), stopped, had to bribe policeman. Likely more on roads than foot policemen. Another couple had everything stolen, never got help. It's too iffy for me. Read More

Schools for alternative medicine
We are interested in natural healing, and wonder if Costa Rica has such facilities. As each country has different herbs, methods, barks, etc., we would like to know more. Also interested in vegetarian cooking in Costa Rica. Read More
Safety in Panama by Christine
Hi, We would like to talk about a sensitive but important topic: do you feel safe in Panama? How would you define the level of safety in the country? Can you walk safely during the day and at night without any fear? Do you think there ...
We were in Bouquet about 10 km closer to David. We walked out to the highway waiting for the bus to Boquete. No bus came. We saw about 8 or 9 my going single file up the other side. Each had a machete. They went on by up the other side. Or so it ... Read More
where to find rental by beach offering swimming by 2FollowHim
We have never been to Panama, so far, so expensive to get there. We want to take about 6 weeks/2 months there near a swimming beach where swimming is safe. We would like to rent a place where we could walk to the beach. We also would want to be ...
At this point, I'm just gathering information. Travelling for me is a big deal, it feels so far, and is so far. I like what people have said, and we have always gotten along with the Spanish people. There's really a lot we have to 'get in ... Read More

Thanks for good ideas about how to find something in Panama. We don't know, though which place would have rentals + reasonable swimming beaches for our health. We are 'new' seniors, and use the ocean for relaxing if it's possible. Once we know ... Read More

Just saying 'Hi' from Canada by 2FollowHim
My spouse & I are interested in Panama... to visit, to stay longer, maybe to live, not sure yet. We do know we love to be able to swim in somewhat calm waters sometimes. Need to be where swimming is fairly safe. Would like to stay near that for a ...
I think we will want to see if we can arrange to purchase a wee house somewhere in Panama close enough to swimming so it is possible say by bike, or just move there and work this out another way. We hope to grow things there just for our food, ... Read More
