Inter-not
I've just uploaded the past few days of postings and don't feel like writing more, I just want to surf for a bit, but I feel a nagging guilt to further document my new adventure sans editing.
The fight with the ants continues and I've run out of bug poison. I'll have to buy some standard stuff at the store today and suffer the fumes. The guy from the ministry of health will be by the place tomorrow to let us know what we 'officially' have to do to get the joint legal. I also found out that we can get a 'special' permit from El Cauldero, nudge-nudge-wink-wink, to serve alcohol. This livens things up a bit.
Met an old gringo, well, not too old, that was ripped off by a Panamanian partner in a restaurant deal who is now selling pork sandwiches and 'Japanese' curry on the side of the road near the central park. He has a Panamanian woman with him helping out and my mujer managed to get some inside scoop on the locals.
One disturbing thing so far is the internet. I've not made it to the cable or telephone company, but two other ISPs I've called so far want $50 a month for 128kbps. One is a wireless company that installs an antenna on the roof and runs a cable to a router. I'm not sure about the other one as I hung up pretty quick after I heard the price.
More later, out of time.
