Early morning approach to Panama City
Open-air barbers on the streets
Colorful buses
When the Americans left the Panama Canal Zone in 1999, they left behind a huge military barracks just east of the Miraflores lock on the canal. It still looks like a barracks with its green lush marching parade field surrounded by large boxy buildings except that now the old barracks make up the main Panamanian high tech park, Ciudad Del Saber - the City of Knowledge. After more than a decade, it now houses nearly 100 tech firms as well as a few dozen NGOs, and several branches of universities.
