Why are niggers like you allowed on this board? Good question...
>>57554225
It's funny that the fastest Atlantic to Pacific route runs from West to East, yes.
Or was your question about something else?

How is life there?
>>57554815
It's the best central/South American country iirc as far as quality of life
You're welcome
>>57554845
They say the quality of life is awesome here but I feel like shit. That's why I asked for a personal opinion.

no, actually Panama is still backwards in many aspects, despite of its economic growth and GDP per capita . For one, it has a higher maternal mortality rate than Colombia, less % of people with access to electricity and their education system scores worse than us.

Panama doesn't have ongoing guerilla warfare though
>>57555338
Colombia doesn't either, except for a few irrelevant, remote regions.

Having any at all is quite bad in my opinion
Regardless, Panama was under dictator rule for decades, and only fully acquired their major economic contributor (the canal) in 2000. I'd guess that their education and healthcare will improve markedly as they continue to develop now that they have a stable government and growing economy
My grandfather was a sailor and he's showed me some photos he took in Panama. It looks like paradise. Poor but happy. Of course, they were taken half a century ago so I was just wondering how it is nowadays.
Of course the canal is pretty amazing.
>>57555291
Yeah, but other Central American cunts have the highest murder rates in the world, and do stupid shit like invade a neighbour because they lost a sports match.

Historical moment. The first ever post from Panama on int.
I hope the Nicaraguan canal puts that taxen haven out of business
>>57555823

Because it makes international shipping and trade much easier and more efficient.
Why waste valuable weeks and money sailing all the way around South America, including dangerous waters at the southern tip of Argentina and Chile, when you can bypass all of that shit and go directly across from the Atlantic to the Pacific in a matter of hours?
It might be a leftover from American Imperialism, but it's a necessary one.

We're welcome for what?
