Congratulations on your new citizenship! I have been studying about moving to Panama some day. Any insight you can divulge is greatly appreciated. Also, perhaps like you the other spot was Columbia. Disheartened to hear one of your bad points was lack of environmental awareness, but I have found this to be true in other countries as well. There just doesn't seem to be an awareness of focus. In any case I am off to read your post on Cost Of Living... take care.
