From an American contact in Panama who is trying to run a tour business FYI:
want some updates about panama.
you can probably title it 'desperation' as this is what is trending
$8 hams cause riots! that because it not worth going to 'work' for their wages . . so they wait from 2am for those $8 hams (vs $40 in the supermarket) . .fences toppling over the police in riot gear, mamas holing babies like they are handbags. . pure chaos and getto
caja de ahorros robbed yesterday . . gunmen gunned down across the street from where the prez lives (in the clouds)
my girlfriends mom was 1 of MANY robbed at gun point this week . . pure desperation as prices are SOOOO high here
also some other offices in parque levefre were robbed, 1 guy beaten with the gun used in the robbery
and there are no tourists! the #1 industry in the world . . restaurants, shops, guides . . basically EVERY industry suffers.. look at how EMPTY miraflores is (attached)! cerro ancon, closed. . . absolutely moronic people running things into the ground here
add the extra $ to the corrup police . . and you have yourself a merry little xmas
