  1. Been closed for a while. I think they are going to demo it for the new on ramps and off ramps for the Boquete highway for Bonnie! BTW, Beef Restaurant near Happy Pet is a good alternative!
  2. I doubt very much that you are going to get any US $1000 or $500 bills: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_denominations_of_United_States_currency They have been out of circulation for years and if you do come across any they are worth a lot more then face value for collectors. Bring $100 bills, all banks and merchants accept them now.
  3. Top 10 worldwide causes of death: https://blog.proclinical.com/what-are-the-leading-causes-of-death-in-the-world-and-can-they-be-cured Totally agree!
  4. Had lunch at Chopsticks yesterday. Mostly Panamains at the time we were there. Place about 70% full. Pros: Location, atmosphere, food, very friendly, quick service, plenty of parking and fair price. Cons: limited menu, no beer, and wine yet. Thought the flavors of the food was very good and very good size portions. Our bill with tip was $12.00. Whenever our bill is under $15 we do not ask for the Jubilado discount. We will return! BTW they open at noon.
  5. Agree. Melissa at Dorado can order cases of wine for you and search out wines that she does not carry. Also Price Smart has a great selection. Casa Jamon, across from Dorado has good deals on wine by the case as well. And great Spanish food items!
  6. Ratings of US largest volume casual dining chains: http://www.chicagotribune.com/dining/ct-americas-top-10-chain-restaurants-ranked-20171213-story.html
  7. They do indeed pay their employee's social security and vacation compensation. They do all this under the advice of their attorney to comply with the laws. I never stated otherwise.
  8. We spent the day Monday getting the paperwork for our E Cedula in PC with our attorneys representative. We asked him what the Panamanians thought of this new train? He expressed that if you ask the majority of average Panamanians they will say what is the purpose of this train? For more tourist? He said many people of Panama are tired of all the corruption, lack of improved schools for better education, overcrowded Medical Facilities. Those issues are more important to them than a train to Costa Rica.
  9. This was brought up at a presentation at the BCP on Oct 31st. It appears it is a work in progress. From what Irma said Alpha Clinic is expanding and will be offering more services and doctors. Evidently, they are looking for a bigger facility in the hopes of seeing folks make fewer trips to David for medical services. Irma and Alpha clinic is offering an inexpensive plan. Perhaps Irma will make an announcement here soon.
