That's a great description of this country. It's difficult for people to understand just how weird and complex society is here. I mean, we had this gay marriage ban happen but at the same time we have the Pride parade and, depending where you are, people are relatively open with no issues. Of course a huge issue here is also the education system. Public schools aren't great and most Panamanians cannot afford a private education so you get backwards thinking on issues such as this.
