Our 4-year-olds in nyc much scarier than the so-called suspicious folks in Panama City. The level of civility I experienced in Panama City surpassed many cities in America.

"Polyester and spandex " are the wrong clothing to wear . Natural fabrics like Cotton, Linen, Silk etc. are your best friends in the Tropics .

stupid comments about safety in Panama as if it's worse than in the US: Gringos don't seem to notice the danger level in their own cities - gun violence unsurpassed, gangs, drugs, prostitution, drugged crazies, and hate crimes galore. Every city in the world is going to have a dangerous section and nowhere in the world should you be careless, especially at night.

So you don't see the piles of rubbish everywhere and the dog mess all over the place so you couldn't smell the toxic rubbish breaking down in the heat this place is a disgrace given the money they make
