    Thank you for going to the canal. Really brought back some good memories. The metro wasn't there when I was stationed there in 88-89. That is very cool progress. Also the bus system was a LOT dirtier back then. Mostly looked like old school buses with no aircon, colorful paintjobs, and smelled like a locker room. GLad to see it has gotten a deep clean ;)

    I went to Panama just before the pandemic. My favorites were Casco Viejo and seeing the amazing engineering of the canal. The metro is very nice too. It makes it feel like a modern city. How about your favorites?

  • @loangirly
    @loangirly Před 2 lety

    So that's interesting - was your bus card registered with your information so they know how to get that negative balance from you? And do you know if they have a schedule of when the big ships come in (so on a 24 hour layover one might get to see them pass through)? Another great video, thanks!

      You have to go when the ships are going through for the complete experience, otherwise it's like plane-spotting when there are no planes taking off or landing.

      Guns are heavily controlled by the government. Few people have guns aside security forces, private security companies, firearm training school and gangs. Panama had a gun ban for 9 years that was recently lifted, no guns were allowed to be imported. Now you can request permission to carry weapons, but the process is long and tedious. The average Panamanian usually does not have a gun at home.
