ways panamá will drive you crazy:


- having to wait 40 minutes in a restaurant just to order, while people who arrived after you are already eating

- being squished into a 12 person van (the bus out of my community) with 26 other people who smell of BO and baby oil as "suavamente" blares on the radio and you bang back and forth because the road is in really bad shape

- or, being on a bus full of drunk men and having the tire pop (because the driver may have been drunk too) and waiting on the side of the road at night while they put on a spare

- having to pay 50 cents a minute to call the usa AND another person right here in panamá

- starting your 9 o'clock meeting at 11 o'clock

- having your host family give you an ice cream cone, a popscicle, and a handful of candy, right after they call you fat



oh, and here's my future house!
