Wow! That is some fun art, i like it a lot. I saw Dexter, the Undertaker and there is a Hindu motif in a catholic country! I am starting to become interested in the culture in Panama. I read that there was already a small Hindu community, and i guess the people are fully accepting this, it is amazing, if only the rest of the world was like this, we would have no wars and there would be complete peace and when everybody is working together, great things can happen.

So, is Panama very tolerant of different religions and cultures?

well, from what i've seen there... i'd really like to go on a trip by bus there... maybe stop and make few pictures. In my country all buses are new, and they all got commercials on them.. it simply takes the joy of wondering around by bus. how much is a bus ticket... for, let's say... 50 miles away?

Yeah i know what you mean, all the buses around my city are dark and gloomy, they are not very inviting. However, if i saw a bus like the buses in Panama, i think more people would be tempted to get a bus and it would be a great experience everyday to get onto a different bus with different art. Isn't it great that the buses are identified by the artwork on them and not from some number like a robot, these buses actually have character.

I think it is hard for a lot of places to get enough money to make nice buses, because they have to be paid with tax dollars.
