Mr. Woohoo, loved that comment: "would make life truly different" In fact there appear to be a number of expats who have "gone native" (earning Panamanian wages and living like a Panamanian) and are happy and satisfied. For most foreigners that might be a traumatic change but it would really be a learning experience that is well worth while. I think that most of us would like to have a safety net of some sort in case we really ran into difficulties but "going native" as the Brits used to say about Englishmen who lived like the natives in their various colonial territories is possible and could be a lot less stress-free than our current life stye. Wonder if I'd be up to it? I'll have to think about that for a while. Has anyone else out there any comments on living in Panama on Panamanian wages?
