I sing Jazz and the American Songbook, songs by Cole Porter, Harold Arlen, Jimmy Van Heusen, Johnny Mercer, the Gershwins, so on and so forth. Can anyone tell me whether there is any demand in the Clubs, Condo's, Restaurants for my style and what the pay is like for performing. Thanks, Michael A Hi,

I'm not a dreamer, I grew up here. But I'm not latin. I do have citizenship. But I don't have a law degree. I've started numberous business here and been reemed in a hundred different ways. This land breeds theft and corruption. I've watched many gringos and locals come and go, start business' and be shut out. I am now finally seeking a way to work online, completely independant of this country. Ohh, there is one business that will work; "pimp hookers from a charter fishing boat". But a boat costs about $100k/hookers are free to start. If you come in with multi millions to set up a business, you have a chance, but the laws change real fast, and one never knows what was an advantage yesterday, get one nothing today. If you must work. Understand that the ruling class has made it so that the average wage works out to about $300/month. Also know that it is now only 15% cheaper to live here than the U.S. This equals impossible. Come to vacation with a budget. Want to talk further with me about it?

Be serious...stay at home safe and work hard saving what you have. Panama is not a land for dreamers...

First there is the legal issue and secondly the professional. Dont sell any latin country as they would be without burocratics nor rules, please. In any professional institute you must know perfect spanish in order to transmitt perfect english, "native language" is only an advantage because of pronounciation. For any US or European citizen Panama is as difficult as it would be Colombia because we think different, we act different, we organize different and we are always subject of third thoughts to the locals. No matter what. As long as you are not a high rated professional with good and seriouse contacts you wont get nowhere. I know this country because I am a german economist phd setting up and managing companies over here for about 25 years. You or any reader needing more info write me at anuvelas@gmail.com and I am gladly assisting you or anybody to be successfull in latin america. Right you are that the labour situation in the US will struggle for the next 20 years and that many ppl may seek for alternatives down south. SO lets do it well and help each other thinking in terms of groups of interest. Best wishes. Horst I am absolutely not agree but the speech of wisdom may be acceptable to you.
