Panamanians and Club Vanity

I used to go out with a girl who, even though she looked like those poster girls who are all looks and no brains, is a real gem to be with. My time with her showed me, though, that Panama’s clubbing culture is as shallow as Lorenzo Lamas. This girl is beautiful, the sort of [...]

Koppas, Señor Loop and The Power of Music

A couple of weeks ago I went to this popular bar called Koppas. The time where I would go to trendy clubs and bars on a semi-daily basis is long and gone, but I had a good reason to step out of my comfort zone and expose myself to the sort of scenario trendy place [...]

Rob Rivera in The Panama Report

My buddy Matt and the fine folks over at ThePanamaReport.com hit me up so that I would write an article for them regarding sex in Panama, in light of the popularity of the Push Buttons article I have floating around here so, since I hate to disappoint, I crafted an article on the subject with [...]

10 Things You Have To Do While In Panama

I’m not big on introductions, so I’ll get right down to it: here’s an honest-to-goodness list of 10 things you absolutely have to do while you’re in Panama. Did you know that Panama is in the top 10 of tourist destinations in the world and in the top 3 of places where people want to [...]

Zombie Walk Panama 2006 – A Recap

There was a point in the evening where we were at an intersection and I broke out of character to take a quick break from walking like an undead retard when I looked to my right to see a 3 – 4 cop barricade, completely stunned, their jaws to the floor as they saw the [...]

Should’ve, Would’ve, Could’ve… but Didn’t.

I was at Lum’s last night after picking the Bastardizer up and meeting up with Magnus for a beer. Lum’s I like; for those of you not in the know, Lum’s is a restaurant bar that’s quite literally split down the middle… to your left, a family restaurant and to your right, an American pub. [...]

Acute Viral Nasopharyngitis

It all started on Sunday; I can’t really remember at what moment I started feeling it or how it came about but I do remember feeling like trash Sunday night. I had gone to local club Mystik on Saturday night and after a nap and then some proper sleep I woke up at 4PM feeling [...]

Tourists and Panama City

I find it amazing how shitty we can treat each other as fellow Panamanians but when a tourist comes around some natives might as well kiss their feet as they stroll down the street dressed up as if they were going on an Amazonian expedition. This makes them easier to spot, and many a time [...]

Post-Birthday Recap

So, it’s Monday now and my stomach still feels like it was punched as an end result of what I had to drink on Friday. Friday, by the way? Absolutely awesome: after a rather hilarious farting incident at Tony Roma’s, 2SXC came along with me to down some wine over at a rather fetching wine [...]

Memoirs: The All-Nighters of 2004

I still don’t know what I’m doing for tomorrow. The self-discovery tendency of days like these seems to be kicking into overdrive and that doesn’t really do well for me since I’m more vulnerable than usual when these times come around. My objectives are broad, yet clear: I want to have blackouts and I want [...]

Panamanians and Clicks

As I’ve talked about before in previous entries, the Panamanian’s innability to mingle with those outside of his circle is something that’s made my country’s society socially retarded, but I’d like to expand on the concept a little more. It’s been bothering me a lot, in the sense that before I would just discard the [...]

We’re Going Hunting

Remember how I always say that Panama is a matchbox and nobody is ever really lost? Well, I must say that I stand corrected; I was browsing De Alante yesterday doing what any respectable male over the age of 13 would be doing when he’s got nothing to do (check out the hot mommas) and [...]

Panamanians and Catastrophes

If there’s one thing Panama knows how to do right, then it’s how to party. Any excuse is a good excuse, be it good or bad; I’ve gotten smashed out of my brain for stuff as mundane as getting up in the morning and being alive, getting a new dog, NOT getting a new dog, [...]

Jailbait

It has come to my attention that, as much as I’d like to discredit and discard the notion… most girls here worth giving a second look (or third or 27th) are under-aged. This puts me in a rather weird place; I’m not old (22, reckless and swinging, bitches) but to think that the girl whose [...]

Corruption in Panama

Talking to my father yesterday brought this topic of corruption of the the state up. My stance on this “corruption” thing is two-fold, as I’d be somewhat of a hypocrite if I said I was totally against it if I’ve used it before to get what I want faster and better. And in Panama, even [...]
