ah Z.. life is good in deed!

... I am loving Panama as well! My office overlooks the Pacific ocean - what a stunning view. Every weekend I go to a different beach or enjoy coolness and serenity of the mountains. I would say quality of life is much higher for me right now than back in Toronto.
Investing.. there is a huge real estate boom going on here right now. Beach front properties are selling like hot cakes (but of course are still WAY cheaper than in US/Canada). A lot of people are retiring in Panama because of all the benefits offered by the government. And there are lot of benefits available to investors here as well... huge tax saving, etc.. no wonder so many companies are moving here.
Well there is a lot of info about Panama online, but the best way to learn about this beautiful country is, of course, to come visit Panama!

And now you have an excuse to come here -
Panama Summit will be held in January 2007. We'll be talking about setting up offshore operations, tax planning, outsourcing... and, of course, we'll be having beach parties and jungle tours in between all the seminars

... Yes, Z, you are invited too!
