After Bocas del Toro and Chiriquí province I was back in the bustling, cosmopolitan capital: Panama City. With about one million inhabitants and besides its famous Panama Canal it's also known for its skyline with many skyscrapers.

Bon Biní, Bienvenido, Welkom, Welcome, Benvenuto, Wilkommen! I'm Elton, from the island of Curaçao (Southern Caribbean) where I was born, raised and currently living. I grew up in a local neighbourhood just west of Otrobanda in Willemstad. I speak Papiamentu, Dutch, Spanish, English, regular Italian and a little German. Curaçao is a small but unique Island.

On the Panamax
We went to Panama a few years ago and of course we had a look at the Panama Canal. The Panamax ships are quite large when you see them up close. However, I had another experience in Bangladesh involving big ships that literally made me forget to breathe when I saw the actual size of them. In Bangladesh they dismantle used ships and recycle the metal. They had maybe a hundred of these gigantic vessels lined up on the beach waiting to be cut up into pieces. I then got to see the entire ship, even the part that normally is under water, and then they are truly gigantic. /Ake

Wow. Yes, I know they do dismantle them in Bangladesh and also in India. I always wanted to visit such a ship graveyard, just to see it myself.
