To “loyal” PNO readers, and “loyal” Bocas Brigade: MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR

"JB"

Op Ed: James “JB” Bryson

As we bring this “challenging” year to an end, we just wanted to take a sec to thank and appreciate all of the people that visit and contribute to this site. PNO is NOT the BIGGEST EX-PAT site, and there are many that are more sophisticated. But PNO has developed “relationships” with Ex-Pats and tried very hard to be a good source of information to incoming Ex-Pats, as well as the interests of current Ex-Pats to issues in PANAMA.

2023 had many issues-  Immigration via Darien.

More “skullduggery” in Bocas.

Employment for the young Panamanians.

And winding up for an election year to boot.

As I look forward to seeing family over the holiday, I wish you and yours nothing but good wishes. Sometimes posting on this site is fun, others not so much. But I do like helping people and it does keep me busy.

 

Feliz navidad amigos y amigas-

Saludos-

“JB”

PANAMA requires “REAL” western developers to take advantage of regional positivity.

OP ED: James “JB” Bryson- I certainly have much to critique about the way things are done in my adopted home here. I still feel that despite the “boon” we see in Panama City, there lies a 3rd world underbelly we can’t seem to shake. With every “Four Seasons” or …
