RE: Reason Number 52 to Have a Machete in Your Car... in Panama
A few of my kids have a machete of their own. That's what happens when you can buy them at pretty much any store here for less than $5. ;)
I imagine you could seeing how there is so much jungle down there; it would be comparable to like places here selling mosquito repellent or sun screen on how available the machete is where you are.
Lol - that is totally true. They are very readily available! You want to know something funny? Sunblock here is like $12 for a small bottle. It's insanely expensive. You know why? Panamanians are dark and don't need sunblock like all the light colored gringos who burn up and look like tomatoes after a day in the sun. ;) If only gringos buy it, might as well raise the price. Ha
Yes, stick it too the gringos, that is the mentality in that part of the world.
