15 NEGATIVES OF LIVING IN PANAMA – Moving to Panama – Live in Panama | Pros and Cons of Panama

Apart from the waste and burning of it most of your shtick is nothing much to write home about. It’s tropics and they have poorer areas yeah so does the states

I don't necessarily consider all these items as negative per se, but they are reality. And they are things that I point out to people that express interest in Panama, as we all know that not everyone can adapt to the same life.

Facts

You are still there, so is it safe to say the positives way outweigh the negatives?

OMG!!! Hello, my brutha! I am soooo glad you did this top 15 + honorable mentions! This is by far one of the best true videos I've seen over these past several months on the REAL DEAL of Panama 🙂 Even with the info one of my dear friends who moved there about a year ago shared with me; you hit pretty much all of the other marks on my list of things to be aware of. I did already know of a good bit of them, but you covered them more objectively and I thank you! All in all; none of these are a turn off nor deal breaker for me as I am looking forward to making my preliminary trip down there to check things out before the end of this year. Being the realist that I am, I am approaching this with the same realistic viewpoint as when I was preparing to enlist in the military many moons ago. Spare me on the "fluff" as that part is a given…lol! Provide me with an honest perspective of the reality of what I'm looking at getting into and I can objective make an informed decision based upon that.
Again, much appreciated for this and I am even more-so looking forward to Panama being my future retirement or (semi retirement) spot by this time next year.

Had zero problems with traffic in Boquete and area. Other than in town next to no traffic 😊

Thanks!

Go back to the US please: infrastructure (US) – inequality distribution of wealth (US) – insects (it’s the tropics, go home) – language (US does not like accommodating others) – noise (it’s THEIR culture/home…too bad) – weather (Seattle is rainy…go home) – early sunset (go home) – police check points (at least they won’t kill you cause your black) bribe? …shame on you- pay bills in cash (yay! Rules to benefit their economy) – outages (Panama people are use to it-they’re not supposed to accommodate you) – customer service (slow? In US its in India/Pakistan. Kids in restaurants are horrible waiters in the US) you want faster…go back to US. – burning of trash (in US Republicans want to get rid of the EPA…we’ll be burning trash soon too) – traffic (LA, NY, 95 in FL) – trash (NY, Detroit, the hoods) – #1 IS ExPats that go to another country to show the country’s dirty laundry. When you do what you’re doing here in the US, they tell us…”go home; go where you came from”. You definitely should have stayed where you came from. I’m from Puerto Rico & it has turned into a giant ghetto because we got americanized.😢We accommodated people too much

Very good video. Thanks! Many of these things can be said about Latin America in general.

New subscriber checking in! I was so tickled by your commentary–especially the controlled fires that look OUT OF control 🤣and the slow left-turning drivers. That slow turning would definitely piss me off haha. On another note, I was shocked that mold did not make your list! I've heard and read that mold is truly a thing in Panama and needs constant attention. Honestly, it is the one thing that has me on the fence about making the move from the states. I visited a little over a year ago and was in complete awe of that beautiful, little country. At any rate, love your content and look forward to supporting your channel❣

Wow it sure can piss rain 🌧️ fast there

Hey Alonzo, you’re Español is pretty good, man. Thanks for adding a wealth of Good to know negative issues. I was thinking about how we have community trash pick up days, at least here in the States, maybe some expat environmental types can do the same thing there. But I guess the managed landfills are mot a “Thing” in Panama? Thank you, that was a great presentation, I watched every bit of it 🤙 Still, I love Panama and will visit soon.

Hello sir, I've been thinking about moving to Panama. Do you have a video on the good things about living there? Also. Is there a way I can contact you directly to maybe ask some advice and things?

Panama the real paradise in the world

Lol my grandmother was from Panama so I can attest that hablamos más rápido.. ja ja new subscriber here

Thank you so much for sharing with me/us those negative aspects of Panama. I moved to Panama after spending 5 years in Costa Rica and I will say that the negative or irritating things are mostly the same. If a person is planning to move to Panama they must prepare themselves for these irritating country things.
I would like to add a couple more things to your list which you covered but not in detail. There is a very big problem with what I call "The System Infrastructure" where companies including the Panama Government don't seem to get how things work in real time. It took me a month to open a bank account and 4 months and counting to get my car back from Panama customs. Slow is one thing, but this is ridiculous!!! It appears to me that they don't want a speedy process because there's always someone willing to help you "for a price". Thanks – Gary

En que otro pais NO EXISTE LAS COSAS NEGATIVAS DE PANAMA? Muy subjetivo todo!

Deberias irte a otro Planeta a buscar la perfeccion.

What can you tell us about retirement homes and assisted living in panama? A video will be appreciated.
