Panama's Other Claim(s) to Fame

As a country - other than the canal - what is Panama best known for? What else immediately comes to mind upon the mention of this country's name?

A tax / offshore banking haven.

I'm a little surprised it wasn't on the poll question, truthfully.

Panama is well-known for its banking privacy among sovereign-minded individuals.

Heck, when I mentioned to my co-workers I was going to Panama, one of the cheeky ones said "What for? To open up a secret Panama bank account?"

There's only one reply to that...

"Well, it wouldn't be much of a secret if I told you, would it?"

Interestingly enough, the same guy called me "the tailor of Panama" when I got back. I hadn't heard of the film, so I didn't know what the hell he was talking about at first.

Later, curiosity got the better of me and I Google'd the phrase. It looks like a pretty cool movie actually. Spy movies are among my favorites.

I'll have to check it out sometime. Maybe I'll spark up the download before I go to bed tonight..
