Dear Hilarski's,

Let me share my thoughts on the topic.

First of all it was a great post to read and I can for one for sure relate to what you write. Even though we have different stories, there are some similarities.

1. Moving to a new country. I moved to Sweden back in 2007, and it was just ac-crossed the border from Denmark (only 20-30 min ride from my previous home). This I did with my ex wife Joanne, who moved from Brazil to live with me. This part could be compared to your situation. I will say, that my friends where very distant after I moved in with Joanne, both because I moved to Sweden, but also because I moved in with a foreigner. So in effect we was pretty isolated and we (I?) did a huge mistake of socializing with an expat group of coubles where everyone was danish woman and foreign men, that didn't help my and Joannes relationship, as these danish woman seemed hostile to danish men and their partners the same. Joanne on the other hand may have wanted this situation, to make her "scam" easier.

Anyway... only the first part of 1, reminds me of your situation a little, as you moved from the north to the central America, with latin culture, as I think many Americans (sorry I don't remember if you are American or Canadian?, but I guess its the same story) may want to shy away from Latinos?

2. About anarchy and anti-government opinion, it is something that I found that most or ALL of my old friends do not like or share the view of. I have tried to convince many people, year back, but today I just gave up and try to get new friends that share my view on the world in this regard. This also goes for my family members. 

It can be lonely to be a first mover, its great we have Steemit to meet and remember we are the good guys :)

Thank goodness I have not felt any of the hostility but who knows what will happen if I return to NY with Anabell. We have together for five years but none of those people have ever met her. As far as Panamanian's accepting me that has been great. Most expats here are decent and the ones that are not we do not associate with.

No this part of my story, I do not compare to yours or any others, it was only to tell what happened in the past to me. I was not thinking apparently, not protecting myself, trusting that the people around me had good intensions when they didn't have, and so on. I think I huge part of my negative experience, was due to Joannes predatory actions.

Anyway I believe it is very different with your expats, as they are in a very different place and setting, then the group I meet in the past.

I can imagine that the locals are very friendly in Panama.
