How many times have you ashamed of your yellow nails?

1. Well the first step to stop getting your nail yellow is not wearing dark nail polish.
2. The second step is quit smoking. Nicotine stains your nails and do many more damages to your body.
3. To treat those stain nails you don't have to go to a spa or spend much money on it. Rubbing lime juice with sugar help you remove the yellow on your nails. No just one time. Do it everyday and after you wash your hands put some lotion to prevent the lime juice dry you hands.

There are 2 ways of making Panamanian tamales:
1- Using precooked yellow cornflour.
2- The traditional way that is from scratch, using new corn cobs.
The first one is faster and less complicated, but the second one has better flavor and of course more work and would be a little complicated. If I have to do it myself I will choose the first method because is faster and less complicated. But if my sister who is an expert preparing tamales would do it, I will say that the second method would be my favorite one.

Here's the pitch (excerpt from the article):

Prospective retirees: Panama wants you. The pitch? A plane ride just 21/2 hours from Miami enables the newly poor to swap a wretched retirement in the U.S. for one befitting a royal in the balmy Central American nation. Cash out! Emigrate! Feel rich! Panama—the new Florida.

I created this reference page to help travelers to Panama understand the local lingo. (Of course, it helps to understand Spanish as well.) 

This is a work in progress. If you have any more Panamanian idiom, colloquialism, slang term or saying additions or corrections, let me know. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it!

Special thanks to my wife and kids who helped me with the list!
