im feeling a little bit peeved regarding the fact I havent been able to find this one book i want in about any bookstore ive been in for around 2 or so years. and you might be thinking. "oh it must be a foreign book," or "you could just order it online," and to that id say. WRONG AND JUST NOT POSSIBLE😭😭!!!!

the thing that makes me not finding it at any bookstore terrible is that this is not a foreign book— not in a different language, not from a different country— NO, ITS A PANAMENIAN BOOK!!! aka... THE COUNTRY IM LIVING IN!!!! AND I CANNOT FIND IT ANYYYWHEREEE!!!!

and it simply does not appear to be sold online so im starting to think I am cooked 😓 for a book that was one of the best sellers in the country 15 years ago it sure has become invisible

The American who killed the panamenian protesters and other reasons why I dislike American culture

This Tuesday, November 7 some teacher unions and indigenous collectives were protesting closing of the railroads because of the mining contract and the corruption, a man called Kenneth Darlington killed 2 of the protesters who were unarmed. This man had trouble with the law years prior. In 2005, he was detained for the illegal possession of arms. Of course, because anything can be bought in Panama he was pardoned from all charges.

The man is a zonian American. And what is a zonian? Well, zonians were the Americans who grew up inside the canal zone. Which meant they lived inside the American settlement that managed the Panama Canal. Most of the Americans who lived there were from the south of the US, and only spoke english. Most of them grew up isolated from Panamanian society and disconnected from all the problems Panama was dealing with their precedence on Panamanian land.

They even implemented some of their ways, like segregation of blacks and whites in some of their canal zone areas. They loved how they lived in Panama because they had so many benefits that the common Americans living in the US didn't had. Like, free taxes, good housing, good salary, and long vacations.

Some of those Zonians got back to the US and most of them mourned the life they had in Panama. So, as you can imagine, now being American retirees some came back to live in Panama. Some of them never left and stayed in the Albrook area, trying to adapt to the changes while also holding some of those old American ideals from the South.

As you know from my older posts, Panama is currently dealing with a corruption crisis that has to do more than just random people fighting for nature preservation. This crisis that started in October made some far-leftist unions manifest, some taking advantage of the situation and others with other concerns regarding their community. Some people support their methods of protests of closing railroads and some people criticize it because of how it's leaving some provinces without access to resources.

Regardless of the anger of being trapped in traffic because of the protests no one absolutely no one has the right to kill another individual.

Now, going to the title of this post it may look like someone who hates Americans in general which is not entirely like that. But, on my end, from what I have seen on how Americans live, with college/university debt, a health system with absurd prices and their individualistic culture. As someone who has interacted with all kinds of Americans visiting Panama, I always felt some disdain for how they think their ways of living apply the same in a different country, in this case, them visiting Panama. Don't get me wrong, I have met nice Americans as well, but also someone's who come across as entitled.

It was a surprise of mine to see today, Wednesday 8 a post from the New York Post talking about the event and to my surprise, the amount of American accounts commenting distasteful things without even asking a Panamanian about the issue or doing some research. It just confirms a bit more of my judgment of how they live in a bubble, thinking their ways apply to the rest of the world. Then again I know some Americans don't think in such ways, but sadly I have seen some of this kind of behaviour in both extremes of the left and the right. Trying to relate to an issue by applying some of their American mindset to it. And what I mean by that is just their society rules, what is ok and not ok in their culture and even their societal issues.

I don't think you need to be from another country to understand why killing is bad, especially if a group is unarmed and not actively attacking you. And celebrating it just tells me the lack of character and ethics of that individual.

Hey! If you ever come to Panamá, check out "Esa Flaca Rica"!

As per usual for anyone not in the know, I am from Panamá!! Be proud to have a Panamenian mutual lmao.

"Esa Flaca Rica" is a foodtruck restaurant that has some of the BEST burgers ive ever had!!

12 bucks for most items on the menu but maaan Its soooo goood!

They give you a whole box's worth of fries! its nuts! They even give you two whole thing of sauce for just the fries!!

The burgers are juicy as hell, packed with some good condiments. Its the kind of burger thats worth 9 bucks... its so fucking tasty, its the gooood kind of food truck burger yknow what I mean.

I ordered "The 44" (thats the name of the burger, not the menu item) and I enjoyed it a whole lot! I have ordered their signature burger before "La Flaca Sexy" and it was great too.

No item in the menu is bad, even the simpler burgers are a delight.

One thing is that I always get shy when I go there. every item in the menu has some silly name like... well "La Flaca Sexy", "Gringa", "Gordiwena", "Putín", "Facilita", "Cocotuda".

Alot of inuendos lol. I get a bit embarrased when saying any menu item hehe...

So yeah! if you ever come by, check it out!!

I keep getting worried that my mom will rent a car to drive here until I remember she’s been off-roading it in the Panamenian mountains these last few months so I think she’ll be fine in a canadian highway actually.

How beauty is my little country! But by your side is insane!😳❤🔥

[moonsfireflies1993]

To anyone who is not panamenian or Palestinian please ask how they are doing and ask their perspective about the situation they are dealing with. There's a difference between reading or watching the news and talking with people who deal with that reality.

To the media, events are just shock value and ratings. They dismiss the essential factors of what is happening.

Please, talk to the people dealing with it or who have family in those countries. That is another way to show empathy, to learn directly from the people.

The worst thing anyone can do to another during this time in history is apathy and indifference to the reality of people who have families there.

Desde pequeño me propuse a ser fuerte. A tener bajas expectativas para no obtener falsas ilusiones. Pero la sensatez y el instinto me llevaron a un camino paralelo a esto.

✨🙏 Muchas gracias a @rafamoreno507 y al programa @unsorbitodecafe de @sertvpanama por la invitación hoy 13/06/19. . De niña jugaba que era una actriz y que me entrevistaban en la tele y al parecer esos juegos están comenzando a ser verdad 😳 . Siempre he sido una melómana y he tenido un gusto muy particular por el arte, siento que sin esto la vida sería muy metódica y gris, el arte es movimiento y es pasión pura, la manifestación sincera de un ser humano, la dedicación, la paciencia, la disciplina, es una lucha interna muchas veces con uno mismo, de mejorar y siempre exigirse... . Yo exhorto a todos los que siempre han tenido una pasión a que se entreguen a lo que aman, por que la vida sin disfrutar de las cosas que te gustan no es vida. ✌️❤️ . . . #singer #composer #tv #panama #entrevista #television #singersongwriter #panameniangirl #panamenian #cantautora #cantante #cantora #music #musico #ukulele #pty #art #televisionshow https://www.instagram.com/p/ByrUb6vhxBL/?igshid=1gizdmgt2kkp4

🎼🎶Happy day of musician!🎶🎼 2 Kings 3:15 But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the Lord came upon him. God has given us a gift, He will ask us how we use it, for his glory or for the world, to manifest his great power or just to please people. My GOD 2 Reyes 3:15 ¡Vamos, tráiganme a un músico! Y cuando el músico se puso a tocar, el Señor se posesionó de Eliseo; Dios nos ha regalado un don, El nos pedira cuenta de como lo utilizamos, para su gloria o para el mundo, para manifestar su gran poder o para solo agradar a las personas. #GOD #Gospel #Musician #Music #happydayofmusician #Kenstown #Ireland #Europe #Drogheda #Panamenian #Panama (at Drogheda, Ireland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5LgQ5Xh10Q/?igshid=15q6uap0n7ei8
