It needs to be emphasized that during the long financial crisis that impacted North America and most of the world that Panama was not aversively affected and experienced a long period of growth which continues today.

New well-paid jobs will be created which at the same time will create a greater demand for goods and services. 8) Region in need of new Developed Destinations: About a 30% of all the customers that travel to Florida looking for entertainment are from Latin America. Although, there are natural destinations in Chiriquí, more development is needed to entertain the emerging local and regional economies as amusement parks, beach hotels, etc. Site inspection study for Playa Grande and Hot Springs from 26th.

  • Metromix Chicago - Print Page 2/21/10 11:00 AM
    New global eats - Metromix Chicago - Print Page 2/21/10 11:00 AM Restaurants New global eats Learn how to tell your lagman from your lassi with this primer on seldom-seen-in-Chicago cuisines By Erin Brereton Burned out on burgers and pizza? Expand your palate at one of these four recently opened--or about-to-open--restaurants offering international eats not often found in Chicago. Jibek Jolu (pictured) Meat-eaters will go mad for this Lincoln Square eatery's Kyrgyzstani beef and lamb dishes, which are served with white rice or potatoes. Food fundamentals: Co-owner Marat Bilimbekov says Jibek Jolu is the first restaurant in the city to serve Kyrgyzstani cuisine, which includes Russian, Mongolian and Persian influences in traditional meat-based dishes and soups. Sipping suggestions: Jibek Jolu is BYOB, and red wine is a good match for the hearty entrees. Need an unleaded option? Try a glass of airan, a cold, slightly salty milk drink. Distinctive dishes: Manti, large dumplings filled with beef, onion and pumpkin ($8); lagman ($8), a beef-based dish that includes bacon, green and red peppers, and the restaurant's homemade noodles. Klopa Grill & Cafe Much of this Lincoln Square restaurant's menu focuses on traditional pork- and beef-based Serbian dishes, but the way they're prepared is new to Chicago, says co-owner Nash Zivkovic. "We have a few Serbian restaurants and cafes [in Chicago]. But we didn't have a place for Serbian grilled food." Food fundamentals: Klopa serves all of its grilled entrees Serbian-style--that is, with a side of chopped raw onions and French fries.
