Looking for a Cheap Lunch?  Casinos

Casino Lunch Specials are one of Panama’s best kept secrets. Eating lunch in Panama is economical to begin with, but Casinos during lunch time making eating out ridiculously inexpensive. These Reno-inspired Casinos serve stomach-busting lunch specials for $3-$5, leading me to believe that they must be losing money. I discovered these mid-day deals... [Read more of this review]

It’s someone who possesses an extensive product knowledge of alcohol, is personable, radiates positive energy, and operates quickly. These professional bartenders in many countries... [Read more of this review]

Position Yourself to Pick Up a Distressed Property

Recently, I’d spent a year traveling south from Guatemala City, Guatemala to the Southern Tip of Argentina and back north again. It was a journey for the ages. During my travels, one of my areas of exploration was the nightlife scene in different metropolitan cities all over Latin America.

Nor does it have a newspaper that publishes monthly real estate statistics with a great level of accuracy. There is almost nothing except word of month and a recommendation from... [Read more of this review]

“That’s kinda quick.” I said as I glanced down at my $10 pre-paid cell phone. The call was from a local Panamanian girl that I had just exchanged phone numbers with no less than 4 hours ago. “I guess the 2 day rule does not apply in Panama,” I thought to myself. As I go to answer the phone, the call is dropped. “Why does this always happen?... [Read more of this review]
