Answer 1

There everywhere! They are taking over the whole world! They are becoming the new mexicans!

Answer 2

Because there are more Asians than any other race, not to mention they are opportunists and aren't afraid to take a chance on a new venture. Others could learn a lot from them and their entrepreneurial spirits.

Answer 3

we're secretly taking over the world

Answer 4

good question, i don't think the food was better than the chinese food in the USA, but i do think that it is better than much of the local costa rican food.

lots of chinese in panama and even guatemala too.

the west coast has so many....vancouver, SFO, LA, and of course central america......

it would be interesting to know the history.

one thing i do know is that so many people from around the world DO arrive in panama and costa rica.  these countries offer ease of getting into their country to live i think.
