observations & thoughts so far

it is perfectly normal to walk around town and do your shopping with your hair in curlers – the bigger the curlers the cooler you are!

manhole covers are not a necessity. they prefer the huge deep hole in the middle of the pavement with no warning option – Bobby’s question “Is it Panama’s population control system?”

the more cracks in a taxis windscreen the higher the fare

never ask “Is this bus going to….?” their reply will always be “Yes” even if they aren’t going anywhere near where you need to go!!!

never expect hot water out of the tap marked “hot” it will always be out of the cold tap!!

how many lottery tickets does each Panamanian buy?? the streets are lined with stalls of people selling nothing but lottery tickets!!

will I ever have clean feet again!! ; )
