Panama city the capital of panama obviously and the city that sits at the bottom of central america,for me a stepping stone into colombia and South America.This place is weird,it is rich and poor,and also has almost every western mod con at hands reach due to the fact that american´s have occupied the area for decade´s building and running the canal,and also the shipping canal makes it for an easy drop off for world goods.This of course means here you can buy just about anything electronic for a pretty good price and all sorts of other gear off the side of the street.I have updated my i'pod accessories allready and am loving it,what an invention the i'pod is.If you have´nt got one and you love music stop been a tight ass and get out there and buy one today,so worth the money,and no i dont work for apple.I just know how good they are.
Anyway food and beer is pretty cheap here but accomodation is not real cheap.Im not sure how much the extremely hot little hooker is that works my block as im too scared to ask,she looks about 17 and hits me up everyday but i just say i can´t speak spanish,allways a good one when your been hassled it usually works unless of course they speak english.Ive spent up a little and need to get out of here soon,wich is licky as tomorrow i fly to colombia.
So panama city is kinda cool anyhow,the nightlife is pretty wild here as is everywhere i think in these parts,damn they love to party,i like it here.Its situated on the water which is allways nice,because of the hot hot heat and humidity i wanted a swim but on closer inspection i found that the city street outlet drains were everywhereThere was junk all over,one spot i counted six condoms in a 4 square meter area,dunno what was up there but it was a funny sight,so i opted for a cold shower instead.I have walked a couple of seedy area´s and been the only whitey in sight.Pretty keen as robberys here are really common but i just take nothing with me,put my cannons out,look por with no shoes and put on a really mean face and crazy eye´s in hope that no one fucks with me and so far it has worked fine.These places are packed with people and action,it sure is the ghetto and i dont belong there but its fun and different.I hav´nt taken photo´s as i don´t really want to get my camera out in these area´s,alone and no police in sight could mean for not a fun day trip.Apart from those times i feel totally safe around here,same as anywhere you just got to be weary and eye´s open.Im still not used to the traffic driving on the opposite side of the road thogh.I have nearly been hit about four times now going to cross the road and looking the wrong way,so scary,i was about one foot from a bus the other day,it blew my hair into a fuzz and i allmost swallowed my false teeth in shock.Now i just look both ways at every gutter.I got taught that in primary school but probably was´nt listenin¨Look left,Look right,Look bike¨or something like that.
Ive been pretty boring here just doing little daytrips into the city,the canal,small walks, national parks and so on as everytime i go out i spend way to much cash,i love spending money but need to be wise about it cos when i get on a roll there´s no stopping me,and right now im on that rollercoaster.So send me money if you want more storie´s.
