Central America's Weirdest City: Panama City

#panama #visitpanama
You and I will venture into the sprawling metropolis that is Panama City. Panama is often shunned by tourists for not being like Colombia and nominally less exotic than other places. People are sorely missing out. The reality is clear, Panama is vastly underrated and is one of the most comfortable experiences I have had as a traveler.

This is good content, my family is from Colon & Playa Chiquita near Congo river. They all still live there so it’s cool to see an American viewpoint of where my family is from. The history lessons were 🔥

[@KeenanLambert198]

Thank you so much my brother… If you have any Panama questions just ask 🔥🔥🙏🏾!

[@brendanolasco2214]

I just went to Panama last week and miss it already. Really enjoyed your video and also walked the same street to Casco Viejo. A local told us to go that way. He also said don't turn down any side streets but we could not help it because the artistic graffiti drew us in. From the fish market and China town to Casco Viejo to the center of the city we enjoyed walking. We stayed at Playa Bonita and enjoyed the serenity of watching cargo ships lined up to enter towards the Panama canal. We only had a week and it was not enough. Still so much more to see. It helps to speak at least some Spanish as many places we went the people did not speak English. Anyway throughly enjoyed your video even the history. Thanks for sharing.

[@john0419]

I was in Panama 3 years ago. I was walking around like you, but I was wondering how the locals knew I was a tourist. I went back to my hotel room, did a little research, found out locals don’t wear shorts. I took the shorts off, pants on, and not another person looked at me. A lot of them don’t wear sunglasses either. Very interesting city.

[@Dancingbyfaith3]

Lol ! That's funny

[@KeenanLambert198]

Sherry its a real thing! Did you like Panama City? Something I noticed here is that people didn't scatter and run once they saw the camera. There was widespread indifference..... :D

[@anandazen30]

If you’re a foreigner they know right away because of the way you speak ( if you speak Spanish of course) every Spanish speaking country speaks differently. Shorts and shades only at the beach, they will look at you like 🤔 where are you going or where were you coming from ?

[@john0419]

Hi this is Sherry’s husband. I’m the one who was in Panama City. It seems that the locals were focusing on making a living and didn’t really pay attention to outside forces. They did take time to answer questions and were very friendly to me. I would like to go back with the wife for a visit but she’s not too interested.

[@tenveils7389]

What's with the no shorts? That's so weird.

[@KeenanLambert198]

Thanks for watching these Sarah! I am history minor.... with major in Poly Sci w/ Conc. in Urban and American Politics and Policy. However, history is easily my first love. I enjoyed banging around the streets of Panama City all the way.... The Colon video I put a little extra into because I wanted to speak to the movements and culture of the Colonesa/Afro-Antillean Panamanian people... Grew up with many of them in Brooklyn & I wanted to get that video right for them! Thanks again my friend!

[@marlenepollard4982]

​@@KeenanLambert198 A country like Panama we want to to know the history of our West indian ancestors and their descendants. I visited and loved the country but not to see our people in Colon especially neglected after their hard work building the canal. Some of the money from earning from the canal since the American government handed over the canal of the Panama government should be reinvested in jobs and housing for the people of colon.

[@KeenanLambert198]

@@marlenepollard4982 100%, better must come for our brothers and sisters in Colon. I think we agree that there needs to be a “redevelop Colon tax fund” collected from the canal revenue to improve the situation in Colon…. I cried after going to the Antillean museum in Panama… The neglect is real and the inability to fix the situation is upsetting…

If you went to Panamá back in the 80's and 90's you would've thought you were in Jamaica. We used to listen and play dancehall everywhere from morning to night and you will hear it at every Party and event and we had soo many Panamanian Reggae artists back then, it started mixing like around 2015. Because of the migration of Colombians and Venezuelan in the recent decades Panama has completely changed in culture. I think its becoming more like the rest of Central America or a lil of South America. I barely hear English or even real Reggae when I go.😢

[@pwhales264]

I lived in Panama for almost 3 years from 89 to 1992. And I remember exactly what you were talking about about the Latino reggae. I loved it in Panama I wanted to stay but I had to come back to the United States

[@KeenanLambert198]

😱😱😭😭 It’s the end of an era! I had to go back to Tocumen Airport late at night to take a COVID test and I took one of the school buses back to town and he was ripping some wicked dancehall the whole way! I was vibinggg! I went to a $10 all you can drink spot in Casco Viejo (It’s in my Panama Nightlife vid) and I had the most fun in there. Only few could speak English but everybody was whining and having fun!

You have a real knack for doing very interesting travel videos! I particularly like the fact that you contrasted the rich and poor areas.

How safe would these areas be for white people to visit? Keep the videos coming. Love them!

That's a $40 view alright. I love Panama City though. It's got a lot of vibe and character. But you gotta go to the right parts. The San Francisco area is great along with El Cangrejo. It's a mixture of expats and locals. Plenty of places to eat and enjoy the culture.

[@KeenanLambert198]

Panama was an amazing experience for me... As soon as there is a break in my baseball season I will have down there. Thanks for the recommendations... I will try it out the next time I am in town!

[@japa9958]

@@KeenanLambert198 El Caribe and La Tapa Del Coco are good places to eat. I also just got in from Casco Viejo and could tell it is ramping up for a Friday night but going back tomorrow night to hit the clubs you recommended. Also tomorrow gonna try and eat at a place called Peachfuzz international in ciudad de Panama. Your video is good bro. Keep up the good work, but more importantly keep up the traveling and sucking up life experiences. That's the real value.

How much to live there 1200$ us money?

[@KeenanLambert198]

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Rent depends on area.... I spoke to Miguel Angel and he said 400-500 per month for a place... Cost of living isn't high... Uber is cheap... Public transit is cheap... Food has gone up a bit but its not expensive.

LOL! My brother, don't tell me you fell for the Trip Advisor pics??

Why don't you show a video of where you are from? Since you have so much to say about other places. Show the good and bad areas of where you call home

I did that

I have not been to Panama in 7 years. I never had aproblem getting a secure nice hotel room at a good price.

Porque le dice "Weirdest city" a que se refiere...

[@KeenanLambert198]

Mira familia….. I love Panama City… I want more “gringos” to visit the city as it is more expansive and prosperous than other Latin American capital cities…. The city is weird because it is unlike the other capital cities I have been to. Panama siempre 🇵🇦

You got it wrong about casco viejo. Jamaicans did not settle down in there for what you’ve mentioned . It was built by Panamanians to defend the city from Spaniard pirates. Go see La plaza de Francia. Its a fort. There’s one also in Portobello in the north ( built to defend the city from the French and Portuguese. It goes back centuries ago. Jamaicans arrived in Panama to help in the construction of the Panama Canal. You should add history to your videos. Excuse me!

[@KeenanLambert198]

My friend you misunderstood me… I was talking about the looting and burning of Panama Viejo by Henry Morgan and his pirates… Then the relocation of the Panama settlement to the peninsula which Casco Viejo is on. 😀

[@gitano27]

Rich area and poor area. Is it any different from New York, Philadelphia or Detroit?

[@KeenanLambert198]

All places do have a poor middle and rich… I would say the differences are within the efforts to mitigate that poverty and limit its visibility……..

[@handcraftedin2]

Nice videos, but haha the Barry white low voice is exaggerated lol, when you forget to turn it on your regular voice comes through, just be yourself bro

Idk what you referring to here Fam…. The camera action cam doesn’t capture base well…. The mic that use does….

The poorer areas are packed with culture and extremely welcoming…

Panama City is weird but Colon is weirder by far IMO
