I'll be visiting fairly soon but any experiences welcome.

Two memories of Panama. One good, one not so good.

1. Got shot at in a taxi going from the airport to the hotel
2. Drove golf balls from one side of the canal (didn't reach the other side though).

I'd never live there simply for the fact that so much of Panama City is a no go area, even near the hotels. Some beautiful parts out in the country though...

Man you must have been really disappointed about not being able to hit the golf balls across the canal...

Anyone care to fill in an ignoramus why Panama is dodgy?
