@Thatguywhodraws :
The Spanish from Panama is like 5 times slower than that of the Dominican Republic... but is like twice as fast as any other Spanish-speaking country. Lots of contractions, missing syllables and idioms.
The good things about Panama are: uses the US Dollar; relatively cheap cost of living; a 4hr non-stop flight; a modern city on par with Miami, FL with all the conveniences you can imagine; friendly people that love the US.
The bad: the traffic; driving can be a hassle with confusing driving rules, poor signaling, etc.; stay away from the slums because you will be mugged; dealing with public servants is very frustrating; nobody ever shows up on time (dinner at 6 means at 7 or 8, the first is just a suggestion, since you have no idea how bad traffic is going to be).
