Thanks everybody for the info.

It all looks pretty promising but I have to admit to being a bit put off by the bars on the windows and gated properties. I've never had to live under those conditions before. Is it really that big of an issue? Are there areas in the country that a gringo would be well-advised to avoid?

If the average Panamanian makes about $350 a month, it sounds like poverty is probably an issue even if the dollar goes further there.
