"You can go to costa rica for $50 roundtrip from panama city..."
1. Livng in Panama City, you will have a variety of food options. In you choose the fast-food route, expect to pay about the same or more that you pay in the States. You will find great food and great prices at local restaurants ($3-$6). A lot of guide books say not to eat street vendor food.
2. Like food, there are a lot of options in terms of buying clothes. The Allbrook mall will have everything you're looking for, whether it's $5 shirts or $40 jeans.
3. Throughout my stay in Panama, I never had any problems with the police, nor did I see any foreigner have any problems. I was advised to carry my passport on me everywhere I went just in case the police asked for it. To make things easier and safer, I made a Xerox copy of my passport and my tourist visa just so I would have something to show the police if I needed to.
The people are wonderful. They will be patient with you if you're struggling with your Spanish, offer directions or advice, and generally help you if you need it.
4. The dress varies depending on where you are. If you're cruising around the city, wear something comfortable. However, you must wear covered shoes and more formal clothing if you go into a bank or government building.
Panamanians wear jeans, polos, shirts, hoodies, tennis shoes, heels --- pretty much everything that we wear in the States.
5. Their time zone: UTC/GMT -5 hours
6. I can't speak from experience, but I would say that African Americans are NOT treated negatively. In fact, you might be surprised by the amount of Panamanians with African heritage. The word they use for a black man is "chombo" (feminine:"chomba") and don't be offended by this. It's not deroggatory.
* When you arrive at the international airport, expect to pay anywhere from $20-$27 for a taxi to Panama City.
*Do not say "Adios" for "bye." Instead, use "ciao." Saying "adios" means that you are never going to see that person again.
*Take advantage of the great bus system. You can go to Costa Rica for $50 roundtrip from Panama City. The ride is something like 17 hours long but the views of the Panamanian and Costa Rican countryside never get old. The buses are large and comfortable and you can watch movies. I would even recommend traveling on these buses within the country. You can go David, which is an 8-hour drive from Panama City, for $25 roundtrip. The little town of Boquete, which is about one hour by bus from David, is a lovely little town and is popular with tourists. You can do a zip-line or river rafting adventure there. The bus from David to Boquete will cost $1.40 each way and is about an hour or more long.
*Traveling by taxi within the city should cost about $5-$7. Of course because you are a foreigner, all the drivers will try to charge you more, and they will, but anything more than $9 is ridiculous.
Another way to get around is on Panama's famous "diablo rojo." You will see these "flashy" buses all over the city and apparently they are very cheap to ride.
* I recommend buying a cell phone. You can get one basically anywhere (grocery stores, mall, etc.) and they are really cheap. I bought one for $15 and used it a lot during my five-month stay. The cell phones in Panama are the same as the pay-as-you-go plans in the States. You can buy the cards to refill your minutes virtually everywhere. They cost anywhere from $3-$20+.
* Enjoy! You have picked a wonderful country to study in!

Q. Mexico city! what to do in 6 hours? my bf and i are going to panama in december (14-28) and we have a 6 hour stop in mexico city. we want to visit some nice places around the airport (benito juarez) during this time like zocalo, but was wondering the best way to go about our visit....
should we take the train or a taxi? how much would each mode of transportation cost from the airport to zocalo?
where else could we visit that would not be too far away from the airport?
where could we get nice and cheap souvenirs?
i hope i could get some help from natives or people who have been there before. reading a traveler book or looking online is just not enough. thanks!
Go to Downtown Mexico that is near the airport,but use taxis not metro cause the metro in mexico is very dangerous and for tourists it's better to take a radiotaxi or the airport taxi


Q. Where is the best overseas place for retirement? i have heard and read a lot about such places as panama, ecuador, and mexico, but i am having a hard time deciding which one is best suited towards my personal criteria. below, i have listed my criteria and value weighted each one from one to ten with one being not important and 10 being very important.
1) weather-hot (at least 80 every day)-minimal to moderate rain- 10 pts.
2) health care-cheap and reliable-10 pts.
3) real estate-affordable, preferrably cheap-8 pts.
4) crime-the lower the better-8 pts.
5) close to the beach-should be within a one hour drive-8pts
6) infrastructure-7 pts.
7) close to a major city-in or near a big city preferrable-7 pts.
8) in a community setting. would love to mingle-6 pts.
9) language- english or spanish. will consider french or portuguese if conditions right-6 pts.
10) special benefits for retirees-4 pts.
11) proximity to the u.s.-would be nice, but not a must-4 pts.
no matter what we decide, we plan on visiting first for at least 2 weeks, and renting for at least 6 months before making any permanent decisions.
"Good doctors and hospitals and very cheap compared to the states..."
The Philippines.
1) Weather-hot (at least 80 every day)-minimal to moderate rain- 10 pts. 10 tropical climate
2) Health Care-cheap and reliable-10 pts. 10
3) Real Estate-affordable, preferrably cheap-8 pts. 8 $60k buys a

one of many nearby.

10) Special benefits for retirees-4 pts. Reirement visa'a easy to get and relatively cheap.
11) Proximity to the U.S.-would be nice, but not a must-4 pts. Have to give it a 0. It's an 18 hour trip back to the West Coast.
Iloilo City is located on the Island of Pany (3rd largest) the big one directly south of world famous Boracay. The city is growing has 5 major new malls, good doctors and hospitals and very cheap compared to the states. Same for Dentists. New Airport 30 min outside the city. Many nice resorts and resturants here.
Tourist visa's can be extended up to 18 months and it's fast and easy.
Personally I recommend renting for at least 1 year before deciding where to live. Besides 6 month or month to minth leases are all but impossible to find. 1 year is the norm. 2 months as secuirity and first month rent is the norm for move in. $400 to $500 for a nice 3-4 br house with maids room. CATV and Internet availibe is most areas near the city.
Definately check out the living in the philippines website. Has all the info you need and it's free. It's owner is an american living here for 40 plus years. It also has a link to a discussion group with expats like myself actually living here in the philippines that can help answer specifics in differant areas.
Good luck with your search. After travelling the world for 23 years in the Navy I have seen a lot of places. A south pacific tropical island suits me just fine.

Q. Central american project? central american portfolio project
where would you like to travel in central american? why?
imagine you have been offered a two week-long trip, all expenses paid, to central
america. will you visit historical sites? go on an ecotourism tour? live with a local
family? learn a local craft? which cities and towns will you visit?
there are only two conditions for your visit.
1. you cannot spend your time at resorts! rather, you must go to areas where you
can learn about the culture, daily life, and history of the region.
2. you must submit an itinerary for how you will spend your time as well as a
persuasive essay on why your trip is of educational value. your itinerary and
essay must account for 14 days of travel and explain why you chose each item on
your itinerary.
description
for this project, you will write a 14 day itinerary for a trip to central america as well as a
persuasive essay on why your trip is of education value
your portfolio assignment has 4 steps:
researching central america
analyzing your research
making an itinerary
writing a persuausive essay
an itinerary is a list of places to be visited. here is an example of a partial itinerary for
mexico. (note: mexico is considered a part of north america, not central america.)
sample partial itinerary
day 1: fly into mexico city. ride a trolley from the north end of the city to the south
end. this will help me to orient myself to the city while adjusting to the high altitude of
mexico city.
day 2: eat a local breakfast of tamales and atole from a street vendor. visit the meseo
nacional de antropologia. this museum will give me the background to understand and
appreciate the aztec and mayan sites i will visit later in my trip. visit a local family for
a traditional mexican dinner. the international house can help me find a family.
day 3: take a walking tour of the centro historico, including aztec ruins and a 16th
century cathedral. i am interested in seeing this part of the city since i learned about
aztec and spanish colonial history in social studies class.

day 4: go to the centro cultural tepeticpac tlahtolcalli to learn about heuheutl drum
playing. i play drums at home and am interested in learning how to play these indigenous
drums.
day 5: spend a quiet day in the park. many mexicans go to the chapultepec park on
sundays, so i will be able to learn more about mexican culture while taking a day of rest.
day 6: travel to the teotihuacan pyramids.
day 7: leave mexico city and travel to cardenas. from there i will travel to the mayan
ruins in southern mexico.
