Believe me when I tell you I can write an encyclopedia on the subject of “chasing pussy” not because I’ve done a lot of it, but because I like to study people. It’s somewhat of a way to entertain my mind with instead of just turning it off when need be. Since I live in a Latin American country [...]
You’re a tourist in a foreign country, have a couple hundred bucks in your pocket and you’re feeling lonely. What do you do? One of the benefits tourism services don’t tell you when planning your trip to Panama is that underneath the glossy sheen of blooming commerce, beautiful beaches and outstanding vacationing experiences lies a [...]
There are certain things in a society that, no matter in what part of the world you are, will always be considered universal. Certain concepts like courtesy, contempt, class and other words that start with “c” are inherent to every individual; that is why most of us can watch videos on YouTube of crazy Japanese [...]
After the very real threat of being very raped by a very depraved and very drunk woman while visiting the Queen Wars in Chitré the night before, I woke up Sunday morning with an insatiable thirst for carnival hotness. I don’t know what it was, perhaps it was the 4-hour drive or the lack of [...]
February is a very contradicting month: not only do you have the annual opportunity given to you by Hallmark to tell the person you love that you do (and if you didn’t then oh noes!) but right a few days later you’re granted to a 4-day holiday fueled by debauchery and lack of self control [...]
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 [...]
Panama, even if it is the melting pot the gossip tells you it is, is a country very attached to its Christian/Catholic roots. Christmas, unlike most other holidays we celebrate, is not only an excuse to get drunk and do something stupid but it has an inherent sense of goodwill that’s pretty darn infectious; it [...]
What does it take for someone to believe in another? Is it a higher call, or is this just our desire to believe that there’s someone greater than ourselves pulling the strings so that we can feel better whenever we fail to accomplish something? Panama, being the melting pot of race and culture that it [...]
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 [...]
Buenas! Como mucha gente me ha preguntado acerca de qué se trata el tan hablado “Zombie Walk” y también muchas personas se han suscrito después de ya mandado el primer comunicado he decidido postearlo aquí para que todos puedan leerlo. Igual los exhorto a que entren al portal de Porto Diao (www.portodiao.com) y se suscriban [...]
This morning I was looking for the song we’re putting for the Porto Diao commercial that will air at the BirriaFest and consequently YouTube in the next few days and I thought that a good song for it would be “Night Fever” by the Bee Gees. I’ll tell you how that came to be in [...]
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 [...]
I’ve had Panama Tourist Guide articles fighting with me to get posted but I haven’t sat down and done them because of time constraints and today is no different; I’m sorry to disappoint, but hopefully this will give you a laugh… alright, have you ever stumbled into porn site reviews? I didn’t know they existed [...]
I have a friend who’s boss is one of these Euro guys who has crossed the pond over to our side of the globe in order to save a few bucks and make a business here that will make him some real cash due to things like inflation, resource costs and the fact that things [...]
