Check it out, here is a small piece:

A classic scene: tourist wants to go to Casco Viejo and asks a taxi driver to take him. The taxi says, oh no, it is dangerous. Don´t go there. Actually, ask most Panamanians and you are crazy to even consider living here. But somehow a miracle happens: the visitor (now really curious about the place) gets to Casco Viejo... and has a blast. Interviews people living in the area, and everywhere they tell him is quite "tranquilo". Notices that somehow, even where there are obvious economic differences among the population, the community as a whole seems to work very well and everyone mingles.
