Panama City: great food, green modern city and domesticated raccoons
(crazypeople.online)
very green city, beautiful trees everywhere.
I just got to Panama City, Panama yesterday, buses are a flat $0.25 regardless of distance and the Metro is a flat $0.50 regardless of distance.
took the train for ~8 mi into town to get to my hotel for $0.50.
ate at a Korean BBQ buffet and saw a bunch of mapaches(raccoons) that apparently live along the Pacific Coast here.
with all the fashionable dress, performing arts theaters and bodegas around, it feels a lot like a casual New York City, moreso than any other central city I've been in abroad so far.
it has that "yeah, we're killing it" vibe.
For an urban space there's a fair bit of green around. Looks like a beautiful place.
it really is.
I walked around for hours today constantly surprised by the abundant healthy greenery in the middle of a very modern, built up city.
