    Panama is known for its great surfing areas. I'm sure there are places to bowl too, though.

    Thumbs up

    Since there are more women than men in Panama and the women are absolutely beautiful, the term "BOWLING" is the excuse used by men to tell the significant other they are married or living with, to visit their second or third girlfriend

    Haha, that's funny.

    Surely some of the men must actually be going bowling.

    I have looked through the Panama travel guides I have purchased at the book store (big recommendation) and I have not heard it mentioned once. I could be wrong but with the weather, country, and women being so beautiful most locals dont spend allot of time indoors. If you look at houses built by Panamanians or other Latin people they have very large porches. People hang out outside, no snow or cold crappy weather. Possibly lawn bowling might be something you might be able to get people interested in?

    Try this Google search out:

    Panama Bowling - Google Search

    I think you can find some places if you really want, but I don't know if they will be in Los Santos.

    Actually I have seen some very nice parcels for sale near the beach, titled and at decent prices. This is the surfing area and not really a retirement area so as long as I can get a small parcel on the cheap I will still invest in highlands in another location. It would be cool to have a beach bar on a surf beach.

    I'm sure there are places to learn how to surf in Panama. I wonder how much it costs though.

    For anybody possibly still interested in bowling I accidentally came across a very modern and up-to-date bowling area in the Albrook Mall right next to Panama City. It is on the second floor. WOOHOOO

    I laughed pretty hard when I ran into it just because of this thread. I truly thought that who in Panama would REALLY go bowling, sure enough there were people using the lanes early in the day even.

    I would be amazed if I saw anyone bowl a perfect 300, but I know it happens.

    well there are many that could score 300, but well they're professional players not like us. i struggled years to pass the magic number "200" and sometimes i score lower than 200

    I cannot recall if I ever passed 200. If I didn't, then I know that I at least got close. I remember scoring in the upper 100s.

    Sometimes I play games like pool (or beer pong) a little better when I have had a few drinks. Maybe it calms my nerves.
