I'm an American retiree living in Panama City, and I'm looking for advice on what to do after a job interview was cancelled due to an earthquake. I had already prepared and invested time and money in the process, and I'm feeling disappointed and frustrated.

I'm looking for a good garlic sauce to keep in my fridge, but I haven't found one yet. I'm currently using Kraft Mayo Garlic Alioli from Ribasmith, but it doesn't quite satisfy me. I think the garlic sauce from sandwich qbano or the fried empanadas sold on the street might be better.

I'm considering opening a savings account in Panama City, and I came across Global Bank's Online Max account with a 4% annual interest rate. I've been maintaining a $1,000 balance for a month, but when I checked my statement, I was only credited with $1.80 in interest. The bank told me that the first $500 doesn't generate any interest, and the 4% is only applied to the excess.

I used to buy these small toys at a Chinese store around 2010-2015 in Panama City. They came with a small plastic figure called a Gogo's Crazy Bone. Does anyone know what these 'chiwis' were?

Found a similar coat at Bonch, although it was a different model but it was close enough. It's worth checking out Bonch to see if they have something similar.

I've heard that during the pandemic, motorizados for Pedidos Ya could make up to $3,000, but I'm not sure if that's still the case. If someone knows how the business works and how much they can earn, please explain.

One book that caught my eye is Al margen de la gloria , a historical novel about a Panamanian doctor and secretary of Simón Bolívar. Another great find is The Path between the Seas by David McCullough, a classic about the Panama Canal. Both of these books can be found at the airport library, making it a convenient stop for book lovers.

I was playing Tekken with my friend and we met some Panamanians online, but they were really unfriendly and made us feel unwelcome. We used to play with a group of people from the city and the provinces, but they got really exclusive and wouldn't play with us unless we met in person.

I live in the Cabo Verde neighborhood and have seen the area deteriorate since the 2022 announcements of social projects to improve the quality of life. I've noticed an increase in poverty, crime, and neglect, with buildings left unpainted and trash and sewage overflowing. I'm looking for an update on the current state of the neighborhood and what's being done to address these issues.

The bench on the Cinta Costera had been broken for weeks, one leg shorter than the others. One evening at 7pm I sat on it and tilted. A man two meters

I run a small laundry in Panama City and I've noticed that Caja de Ahorros advertises a 4% interest rate for their accounts, but whenever I calculate the interest, they always seem to pay less than what they offer. I'm not sure if this is a problem for small amounts, but for larger sums, it could be significant.

I'm considering buying a ticket to this coffee event next week, but I'm not sure if it's worth the $52 price tag. I love coffee, but I'm not sure if it's worth that much. I've seen the option to add a coupon when buying the ticket, but I don't know how to get one. Can anyone who's going to the event tell me if it's worth it and if they know how to get a discount?

I'm trying to reduce my Tigo Hogar bill, has anyone had success with calling the customer service number and asking for a loyalty discount?
