I think that one gives the 'real estate vendors perspective', if you get my drift.
Personally I prefer the alternative, tell it like it is, English language press in Panama. For example Eric Jackson's Panama News
Passionfruit flowers blooming on a fence in Panama
and Okke Ornstein's Noriegaville News:
The Noriegaville News
Both of these guys have been threatened, sued and worse for telling it like it is. And there are some very interesting lessons for example the case of Toni Grossi-Abrams.
Learn the lessons from a crime that's giving Panama an unflattering image
So my conclusion for your nephew, cobraboy, would be to be careful over the choice of expats with whom to hang out................
He's Navy doing some serious security stuff. He's a big, strapping lad, well trained, but hasn't been out of the country much except on a carrier in Japan.I think that one gives the 'real estate vendors perspective', if you get my drift.

I doubt he'll hang around ex-pats.

Most American soldiers that are stationed in Panama don't speak Spanish. I was stationed in Germany and I don't speak German, I got along just fine. It will be a good experience for your nephew. Maybe he might learn a second language. A lot of Panamanians speak English, I was there training for one month and found that to be true. I also found that the majority of soldiers that are stationed there love Panama and didn't want to leave when their time came up to leave. And don't worry, the soldiers that are there will teach him the ropes.
