I'm applying for a job at Foundever through Konzerta, and I'm looking for some insider info. I have experience in the insurance industry and a C1 level of English, but I'm nervous about the call center aspect. Can anyone who works or has worked at Foundever tell me what the project is like and what I can expect from the interview?

I've seen prices at Dairy Queen, Pricesmart, and food trucks. The hot dog at Pricesmart costs $5.99 with fries and soda, which is more expensive than a cheeseburger combo at McDonald's and the Pricesmart coupons. It's just a hot dog with sausage and bun, and it's gone up so much. I've been avoiding processed meats for a while now, but I do buy chorizo instead of sausage occasionally.

I've been watching videos about egg donation in Panama and they mention getting paid around $1,000 to $1,500, which seems low compared to other countries where it costs around $5,000 per process. What do you think? Has anyone already gone through this process?

Transportation 3 answers • Paige Pelletier

I've noticed the chaotic traffic in the 5 de Mayo area and I'm concerned about the informal buses, especially how they disregard traffic rules and pedestrians. We've been living in Panama City since 2022 with our two kids and I'm trying to navigate the city safely. I've tried to avoid the area during peak hours, but I'd like to know if there's a better way to get around without dealing with these informal buses.

I'm a Venezuelan expat living in Panama City, and I've been searching for vintage digital cameras, but I've found it really hard to find them. I've tried looking at local markets and online platforms, but they're either too expensive or not available.

I was trying to sell a console and the person paid me with fake money. I went to the prosecutor's office and they gave me two options: report it as a fake bill or as a scam. If I report it as a fake bill, it will just be sent for verification, but if I report it as a scam, they will investigate. I have the paper with all the details, but I need to go to the judge of peace to make the formal report. Is it worth it to report it?
