Hi Panamax,

I see in another post that you left Panama in 1969. What do you see as the major changes socially, culturally and infrastructure-wise? Are there some areas of improvement? Before my visit 2 months ago, the previous time I was there was in 1966. For me this time, I feel that the country certainly improved the road network but the overall feel of Panama was the same.

I look forward to your observations on changes in those years.

Panama City does not have a monopoly on dirt, nor does it accumulate more uncollected trash longer than other cities of comparable size. It's uncollected trash at any given time or area is not disproportionate to it's size. In short, Panama City is not known for it's squalor, but for the most spectacular skyline in all of Latin America.
