so i just arrived in panama city after 30 hrs of airports and flying... exhausted and soooo tired, but had to go out and explore a bit. i got a hotdog from a street vendor and for $10 us dollars, i got $10.25 change??? lol. i just went to a local pub and tried the local beers panama lager and balboa. both very nice, especially for $1.25 ea!
1st impression, panama city is a very dirty crazy city. no common sense on the roads, sort of what i see india or vietnam is like. im so glad i learned the basics of spanish like how to ask for a beer and hello thankyou etc.. travelling by myself i have noone to translate for me and until you flash $$$ the response is usually aahh no speaky english. my hotel is dirty and from what i gather not in the safest area as it has 2 armed poliza at the front. might refrain from walking around by myself tonight.
is good to have wifi and a computer to type in the lobby this time, but cant call home as its 4am in brisbane right now! (still getting used to this crazy keyboard ñ¡'ç´¿ etc ..) left a place called pocatello in adaho state yesterday morning and checked out salt lake and the mormon temple in slc, before hanging around slc airport for 8 hrs before i flew down to lax and waited for another 6 hrs for my flight here which was 6 hrs, and arrived through customs at panama about midday today!
yellowstone was amazing and will update a blog on that tomorrow when i get time.. but for now i think will a belly full of curried lentils and rice aswell as cuerveza and hotdogs i need a shower and sleep! adios for now!

Troy haha nothing tastes better then a free hot dog..... he was probably just happy to see a white fella eat the food. Sounds like your having an interesting time..... just remember, no matter how good $10000 sounds, dont try to smuggle their drugs across the border..... they dont have the airport paid off.
Brent Haha yeah tempting, but I've watched to many Banged up abroad to do anything that stupid!
