Cojito, have you consider the aspect that the goverment is a full of the panamanian culture too, we got corruption on our inner core (ask any school children, they cheat…), is the "juega vivo", is the "paternalismo", it had crafter the panamanian nation different than US, we dont usually use our personall responsability as citizens, and when we do, we usually get framed by our equals for been whining bitches or been "pendejos". There's a saying "Each nation got the goverment it deserves", well, its panamanians faults all the good and bad things we have here, goverment just happen to be a group of panamanians in charge of state. (See that i used fault instead of responsability…)…

keep living your dream!

Gina, your comments has shown one of the main lacks of our culture, Panamanians dont read very often, that make us BAD readers in spanish and TERRIBLY BAD readers in any other language… You missed the point completely or you are just one of those persons who dont like the truth thrown to your face. Being fare to the writer, the article only shows what we panamanians know, its not about "showing the bad", and if you have read other articles you may understand that this falls into "it comes with the territory" aspects of living here. Gringos (pun intended :D) are not used to our way of throwing garbage to the streets, remember how CLEAN the Canal Zone WAS when it was US controlled?(And I love its ours now…, but the truth is the truth), get the point now, or need translation?

Nobody leaves his country since he or she wanted . Whether or not you do not like to live in PANAMA what are you doing in my country . If anything disturb you, so you can return to your country and leave in PEACE. Panamanians are VERY Respectful to foreigners who come seeking a new life, adventures , bussiness or whatever in our country. Government politics and other affairs are very common in other countries as well pollution , environmental issues and delinquency; nevertheless, Panama has a minimal issue among others. Panama offers many differnet things and it is a unquie lovely place to live. So I suggested you to focus in the good thing this country has. May God bless you and your family in the name of Jesus!!! and leave bitterness in the past and enjoy your time in PanamA. Live and let live .

Steaphani, when you whine – be specific. what "horrible" things? this particular article mentioned many good things about Panama. indeed, i'm very fond of Panama and i've been consistent in saying this.

but i'm not going to lie. and if you think the government's not to blame for many of Panama's problems then you haven't been paying attention.

they're only talking about cleaning up the bay now. if they can get it together to stop the crap flowing in, it will clean itself. but i recall it took Boston decades to find the political will to clean up the Charles river.
