PTY Nostagia: Top 10

Kuna Indian in Casco Viejo
After being in Costa Rica for a few weeks, I have come to be homesick for a few things about Panama…some of them predictable, some of them, unexpected.
1. Greenhouse Burger Wrap. The melty cheese, the randomly situated hot peppers, don’t even get me started.
2. Jap Jap. Sorry, I know I sound like a broken record, but it is the chicken of the gods.
3. Casco Viejo at night time. mmm.
4. The movies at the MultiPlaza mall….I don’t care if they are four months behind when they are four dollars.
5. The city skyline coming from the airport or Casco Viejo.
6. Generally feeling safe enough to walk around everywhere (unlike in San Jose).
7. Night baseball games. What is more fun?
8. Seeing colorful Kunas walking around the city.
9. Cafe Dolee for breakfast on Saturday morning.
10. Reggaeton!
What are the things you miss about Panama when you are gone?

Here are the things I miss…
1. Being able to talk my way (or five dollar my way) out of a speeding ticket.
2. $1 beers on a white sand beach
3. Privileges of being a Gringo
4. Pre-cut pineapple slices in chinito stores
5. “Randomly situated hot peppers”
1. the colombian girls
2. the panamanian girls
3. ensalada mixta at gaucho’s
4. spaghetti bolonesa at manolo’s
5. ron abuelo
6. “randomly situated hot peppers”
I’m glad we both agree about the hot peppers
