<p>Panama celebrates a number of <strong>Panama holiday</strong> which you can also enjoy if you coincide it with your vacation in Panama. The Panamanian people celebrate <a href="http://www.everything-panama.com/2011/10/22/panama-beaches-destinations-you-should-not-miss/">Panama holiday</a> just like the people all over the world also celebrate.  Examples of these holidays are New Year’s Day and Labor Day (it is celebrated May 1 in Panama).  They also have their Flag Day on November 4, and also take part in celebrating Mothers’ Day on December 8 and Christmas Day on December 25. </p>
<h1>Panama Holiday:  Christmas</h1>
<p>For all Panamanians, the Christmas celebration is something which has to do more  with family, friends and religion. During this Panama holiday they also put up Christmas decorations such as figures of Santa Claus and Christmas trees, although these are not considered as important or particular as in other countries. This is a kind of Panama holiday where the birth of Jesus Christ, the family and friendships are celebrated in a solemn and serious manner. But they also buy gifts and hold contests as to who among neighbors can display the best nativity.<br />
The Panamanians prepare dinner and serve tamales, beef, chicken, turkey, pork, salads and wines, and then they eat together and give gifts.  Many recipients wait for this Panama holiday to be over before they open their gifts. Some families travel to their beach houses while many just go house hopping after midnight. </p>
<h2> Panama Holiday:  Martyrs’ Day</h2>
<p>This particular Panama holiday, the Martyrs’ Day, is celebrated by Panamanians on January 9 of each year. This date remembers the marches made in 1964 by students from a prestigious high school.  They marched to the Canal Zone protesting the raising of the American flag and wanting to raise the Panamanian flag in their school also. During the commotion, the Panamanian flag was torn, which resulted in violence.  This Panama holiday remembers the 22 people who died and the more than 100 who were injured. </p>
<h3> Panama Holiday – Carnival </h3>
<p>This Panama holiday is celebrated during the 4 days preceding Ash Wednesday. The holiday consists of the weekend before the Ash Wednesday and the 2 other days known to Panamanians as the Carnival Monday and Carnival Tuesday. During this Panama holiday, the main streets are filled with party goers and parades.  People stay out late all night and do all the merrymaking. The entire celebration is highlighted by the selection of the Carnival Queen. </p>
<p>There are other Panama holidays observed in Panama which you could also enjoy when you are able to join the celebrations.  There is the Separation Day, which is celebrated on November 3.  This Panama holiday is observed in commemoration of the date when Panama was officially separated from Columbia in 1903.  This day is also celebrated with festivities and parades, just like many Panama holidays.<br />
Another holiday in Panama that you can’t miss is the Uprising of Los Santos.  November 10 is the day of every year that marks the uprising of Los Santos.  This 2nd independence holiday is a reminder to every Panamanian of this day in 1821 when they had an uprising against the Spanish rule.  This happened in the Village of Los Santos, where Panamanians were able to free themselves from Spanish colonization.Go for Panama holiday.<!-- pingbacker_start --><br />

<p>People who make their first visit to Panama often wonder about the <strong>Panama foods</strong>. What kind of <a href="http://www.everything-panama.com/2011/10/15/panama-canal-offers-more-than-ease-of-passage/" target="_blank">Panama foods</a> can a visitor expect to eat in Panama? Well, because of Panama’s location, the country is where you can find a vast array of tasty and fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs and fish. When you combine these with the influences from the native Indians, Spanish, American and other Latin American countries, what you’ll get is great Panama food that varies from the ultra-exotic to the familiar.</p>
<h1> What Panama Foods Are Popular In The Country</h1>
<p>When you are having your breakfast in Panama, you can expect to be served with Panama foods consisting of corn tortillas, deep fried, and heaped with eggs and fried meat. If you don’t feel like you can eat this, eggs and toast with good Panamanian coffee will come to you easily. You can also have some fresh fruits if you like. </p>
<p>A typical meal in Panama includes meat, coconut rice and beans with locally grown vegetables and fruits such as squash, yucca, and plantains.  Because Panama is a coastal country, the Panama foods here always include excellent fresh seafood  Fish come from either the Atlantic or Pacific coasts, and you’ll be amazed at the variety of fish coming in.  Most restaurants offer almost all types of seafood for tourists and the locals as well. </p>
<p>The most popular Panama foods are a Panamanian stew packed with vegetables and chicken (Sancocho), savory flour pastries filled with potatoes, cheese and meat (empanadas),  and a yucca roll, fried, with meat and boiled egg stuffing (carimanola). There is also the Tamales, a kind of Panama foods which is composed of corn dough and meat, covered in banana leaves, and boiled. The leaf, when boiled, brings out a pretty good flavor. </p>
<h2> Panama Foods – Snacks and Sides</h2>
<p>For your Panama foods side dish, you will appreciate the yucca frita, which is fried yucca served with your meal.  The yucca frita tastes like the tropical French fries.  You may also be served with plantains, which may come to you 3 ways:  patacones are green plantains cut crosswise and have a little bit salty taste in it.  The maduros are fried mature plantains the taste of which is slightly sweeter, and the tajadas are plantains cut lengthwise, baked, and sprinkled with cinnamon.  The ceviche is one of another popular Panama foods consisting of chopped raw fish and shrimp mixed with tomatoes, onions and cilantro.  Then marinated in lime juice. </p>
<h3> Panama Foods – Where To Eat If You Want To Save</h3>

<p><strong>Panama Canal</strong>, the world’s engineering marvel, has improved the sailing time going from the East to the West of the Americas. The once 2-month journey through the rock strewn and wind-battered seas has now become 8 to 24 hours. What a great ease of passage!  And, if you’re planning your next getaway and wondering what else the world famous Canal has to offer, then I tell you there’s a lot more. Besides the short cut,  you’ll certainly appreciate the <a href="http://www.everything-panama.com/2011/07/05/panama-retirement-the-best-places-to-retire/" target="_blank">Panama Canal</a> as a unique tourist destination. </p>
<h1> Panama Canal Has An Interesting History</h1>
<p>The idea of building the Panama Canal started as early as the 16th century with the French being the first to do the construction.  They started digging in 1881, but the workers were forced to stop because of major problems like serious  illnesses and mud slides. In 1904, the American engineers took over the Panama Canal project.  The US engineers did a great job technologically and medically. They did the excavation work while improving the sanitation in the surrounding towns, thereby reducing the risks of deadly diseases.  In 1914, the Panama Canal was completed.  Its cost was $387 million and 25,000 human lives. </p>
<h2> Great Scenery To Enjoy In Your Panama Canal Cruise</h2>
<p>Besides its mechanical wonders, Panama Canal has a number of stunning and great natural scenery to offer.  There are the untouched, tangled jungles in the waterfront that has a variety of flora and fauna.  You’ll also see more than 120 species of wild life in the Barro Colorado Nature Monument.  If you want to enjoy Panama’s landscape, the best time to visit is during the dry season which is from December to April, when there is not too many rains. </p>
<p>The ports of call depend on the Panama Canal cruise line and the length of your itinerary.  Regular trips range from 10 to 14 nights, but if you want, you can spend more days, say 30 days or more, at sea on some tourist towns.  Tourists normally stop at Colon, Panama because it is where the world’s 2nd biggest duty free zone is located.  Native crafts, along with brand-name  items, are sold here. The San Blas Island is another destination worth visiting.  And the Panama City offers a mixture of colonial and cosmopolitan sites, besides the ease of access to the surrounding rainforest. </p>
<p>The Panama Canal cruises allow you to explore the Latin America – from the shores of Costa Rica to the coffee country of Colombia.  To lure you further are the pristine beaches, snorkeling activities, the panoramic view of Mexico’s Pacific Coast, partying in Miami, or having a stroll through San Diego </p>
<h3> The Future of Panama Canal</h3>
<p>The Panama Canal will celebrate its 100 years of construction in the year 2014 with a $5.25 billion engineering innovation and expansion.  A third lane of shipping traffic and other amenities is under construction.  And it is expected to accommodate “post-Panamax” vessels.  These are the commercial carriers and mega ships that exceed the original limitations of 1,000-ft. long and 100-ft. wide.  The official estimate is that after the renovation, shipping and tourism in Panama Canal will double, to give both Panama and Latin America a much needed boost in their economies.You should visit Panama Canal <!-- pingbacker_start --><br />

<h1> Panama Retirement &#8211; Best Decision</h1>
<p>Are you entertaining thoughts about  <strong>Panama retirement</strong>?  Have you asked yourself why would you choose Panama as your retirement destination?  Why you need to pull up your roots and relocate to a foreign country to live out your golden years?  Why would you give up your friends and move to a country where you hardly know anybody for Panama retirement?  Why would you adapt yourself to a different way of life, culture, climate and language for Panama retirement? <a href="http://www.everything-panama.com/2011/07/05/panama-retirement-what-makes-panama-the-number-1-destination/">Panama retirement</a> is not an easy decision to make.  You need to know the pros and cons.  You must first educate yourself about the realities of living there. The best way would be for you to visit Panama and stay there as a tourist first, so you will know the country and its people. </p>
<h2> Panama Retirement &#8211; Why choose Panama</h2>
<p>Many retirees in Panama give the following reasons why they chose to retire to this country..<br />
The cost of living in Panama is a lot cheaper than in the USA, Europe, Canada and other Latim American countries. For US$1,200 or $2,000. you can live there very well, with utilities, food, running car, full time maid and a doctor visit.  Of course it will depend on where in Panama you would like to live, just like in the USA, where the cost of living varies from place to place.<br />
You can get a decent housing in Panama that is more affordable than in USA, Europe and Canada for Panama retirement.</p>
<p>The Panamanian climate particularly the highlands is favorable to senior folks. In the city it can be hot and muggy, but a mountain ridge can give a spring-like climate.  Some of the more affordable highland locations for Panama retirement are David and Boquete. You will experience cool nights and days here, unlike the city and the beaches.</p>
<h3> Panama Retirement &#8211; Good Medical Facilities</h3>
<p>Medical care is excellent, and can be compared with what you get in the USA.  If you don’t have medical insurance, the medical costs are affordable. Panama recognizes most major medical insurance like the TriCare for Life for military retirees.<br />
Panama Law respects the seniors and retirees by affording them special privileges, discounts on products and services.  The elderly in Panama have their own special windows and lines at banks and public services agencies. A real advantage for Panama retirement.</p>
<p>As a “pensionado” immigrant, you can import home furnishings duty free.  You can buy a new car duty free also every 2 years, although it may not be advisable if you are planning to sell the duty free car in the future.  You will not get a fair price because your car’s value would become less than the taxes that you would have to pay. Minor point for Panama retirement.</p>
<p>The people of Panama are generally good.  They are friendly and make good neighbors.</p>
<p>Most of the conveniences that you are used to in the USA, Canada and Europe are available in Panama.  If there are some that are not available, then perhaps you can live without it in Panama retirement.</p>
<p>If you are American, you will be very much welcome to the government of Panama, because they want you to spend your retirement check in their country. Also, the Panamanians are very comfortable with the Americans, because of their long years of stay in Panama while they were working on the Canal Zone. You can therefore truly enjoy Panama retirement.</p>
