Querencia

Strange that people are more worried about some old bunkers than the beautiful old house's torn down in the city to build high rise apartments.

Also online.

The section referring to 'Rules of the Road', so to speak, is on Page 38

Titulo IV, Normas de Vialidad y Transito

http://www.transito.gob.pa/sites/default/files/reglamento_decreto_640.pdf

Thanks for the link Keith. I noticed  Article 43: Faros delanteros de luz blanca o amarilla en no más de dos (2) pares con alta y baja, ésta última de proyección asimétrica:

(Freetranslation.com: "Headlights of white light or yellow in no more than two (2) pairs with high and
low, the latter of asymmetric projection.")

Which seems to definitely imply that the crazy lights you see on the front of some cars are illegal. Of course the police don't seem to mind though.

You also might see Martinelli in two or three years walking around. 

Not a surprise to anyone. I see lots of bad driving especially after 6 pm but also all day. Plus badly designed roads. The improved road near David looks better because they got rid of the death canal in the center. with a center divider. I still recall encountering a pile of sand or fill several feet high blocking one lane of the inter american highway at night with no signs lights nada 16 years ago.

For what is worth, I asked the Boquete Municipio and they said these stickers were only available at Jaramillo Arriba Corregiduria for residents of that area. I got the info from staff in the Tesoria while paying my water and trash (up 40% by the way).

Also, new speed bumps (black and unmarked, not cool!) just above Revilla and on the street west of Calle Principal.

 

And where is the  Jaramillo Arriba Corregiduria please?

Querencia:  Good News!  I'm coming your way with my water bucket.......

$1 per month where I am, so I'd better keep it secret!

Bob G your computer allows you to change the font size and other attributes for anything you wish to read on your own computer. That way everything can be bold and larger type for you and everyone else can enjoy their own style.

I would also like to know if the recommended lawyer moves fast or just sits on their hands to draw things out.

Thanks

Any recommendations please for a reliable English speaking lawyer for a small lot/property purchase. The lot has already been checked out at the appropriate government agencies. I just need a quick deed to register this.

Also more importantly please pm me on who to avoid.

Thanks 

Is the 8% over one or two years? The information from the business Panama site is from Jan 2014.

Good idea about coping and laminating. When my Permanencia Provisional card was stolen it cost $400 for a renewal. Having to go back three weeks in a row to the office in Panama brought the replacement cost up to around $1,000

Possibly a little off topic but what was the model of the Samsung fridge please. I plan to buy a fridge soon.

Hi, Does anyone know a location for a good store that might stock a fan for a Daewoo fridge.

Thanks

Or you could just start a topic.  I'll leave the subject to your imaginations but many will work ;-)

Have you grown any extra limbs or started playing the piano when you couldn't before?

I wish I could play the piano. I'll try eating some more.

I think I ate some of this salmon a few months ago bought in the Rio Hato area. Very good and very cheap. I know I know it's gmo. For those against gmo don't worry it will probably be replaced by CRISPR in the next few years.

Great to hear you found a solution. I'm looking around Chiriqui right now for where to settle but have lived in Panama for many years. I'm not involved with horse activities currently. I used to work on my uncle's farm with a few show horse's and ponies and one heavy horse. Plus I have lot's of experience moving heavy equipment and trailers in the mid west.

All the best

JudyS to look on the positive side. You saved about $7,600 by dropping Part B for 6 years. Putting it towards your $56 per month increase the savings should help pay towards the next 11 years payments. Add a little interest to the savings and it could stretch a year or two longer.

I hope I've got this right please someone correct me. It does show how complicated and inter connected all the possible options are.

Any luck so far? I may be able to help depending on when. I have a Ford F250 diesel with the towing package but not sure yet who has a good quality horse trailer. If you are interested please PM me. Thanks
