I’m sure most expats would agree, there is a big difference in cost of items in Panama compared to the States. Or better yet, the adjustment to the differences! This adjustment has defiantly been something for me to get used to since I arrived, and I’m still not fully adjusted. Especially as a business owner, this has been hard to get used to. For example, I was going to run an enchilada special. My first thought was to go with cheese enchiladas, something simple but traditional. My business partner reminded me that “queso” (me working on my Spanish) would cause us to raise the price of the meal. As many of you know, on Mondays we have a set price for all Chef Bens specials. Cheese costs more here than it does in the states so I went with Pollo enchiladas. That is defiantly an adjustment, seeing as chicken would defiantly cost more then cheese back in Texas. That along with getting quotes for varies things, and thinking with my “U.S brain” and being like, wow! That’s cheap! Only to find out that the price I was quoted is very expensive for Panama standards! Next time in your in-Mesa Azul, I would love to hear your stories and how you have adjusted to the differences here! But really, I love meeting new people and getting to know everyone in this great community!
