I've been in love with Panama for a while and have been spending a good chunk of the last couple of years here. For some reason I'm just becoming less and less impressed. Prices of almost everything seem to have gone way up since my first visit in 2007, and maybe it's just me but it just feels too "westernized" these days. Call me crazy but after spending a lot of time here, I almost feel like I'm just in another U.S. state sometimes.
I've got a friend in Colombia telling me the only reason I like Panama is because I haven't been to Colombia yet. Gonna check out Cartagena in a couple of months and will let you know how it is.
