If too many people come here it'll be a "Pana-monium." No but seriously #Panama really is like the "bridge between two worlds" linking North and South. And now they've become a sort of "Singapore-esque" nation with lots going on. ENJOY! Feel free to let me know anything I should've added to this episode!
Fun fact: November is called "Mes de la Patria" because these celebrations like Independence from Spain, Separation of Panama from Colombia and Flag Day were dated in the month of November.
I lived in Panama for 6 years, and met my wife there (she is from the Cocle province)...we have been married 32 years, and now live in Florida, but often visit Panama...BTW my wife LOVED the video and was so surprised on how much you knew and how accurate it was!!!!
I was born in Panama when my dad was stationed there with the US Navy in 1990. We lived there for about 5 years. I have always wanted to go back and visit.
My completely chinese family has been in Panama for 80 years, we came to sale wares to those builders as part of the 2nd wave of chinese immigrants. There’s then a 3rd wave of immigrants who came escaping communism, and now a new 4rth one looking for economic opportunities.
Yeeeeeaaaah! I was so shocked they didn't mentioned on the video. Chinese convenient stores, for example, are a very normal thing and we got lots of influence. Just go to Chiriquí and you'll see the one of the highest concentration of Chinese-Panamanians in the country.
There is also influence from the French language in the Panamanian lingo. For example the word "Beaucoup" , which means a lot in French, is used in Panama as "buco" to mean the same.
There are around 200,000 Chinese Panamanians living in Panama BTW FYI (Geography Now) (around 5% of the population). Also love your channel 🥰 Panama Canal was also built by Chinese and Jamaicans and many other immigrants. They deserve credit too for building the canal and contributions to Panama’s society 🤦🏻♀️ Also hola from a fellow Panameña 🇵🇦
@Austen Hernandez this is the official data from Panamanian government. I know because I'm Panamanian. 16% it's not a small thing. It's more than the population of any other province in the country (exception of panama province). The guy made an incredible work
Thank you for this comment. I just read it after mentioning this too. I'm Chinese-Panamanian and my great-grandpa was the first in our family to move to Panama almost a century ago.
@@kaydenpat oof im Panamanian-Chinese and you'll see alot of Chinese Panamanians. My mom moved here first when she was 15 and met my dad which is Chinese too.
@@riddhidesai2069 there are beaches where you can Surf, kayak in San Carlos Lake, Hike at Anton, Climb Volcan Baru, Visit the Islands Of Guna Yala and Bocas Del Toro, You could visit the Forts in Portobelo, Bird Watch in Chiriquí, there are lots of activities
I am Panamanian... I stand up and applause, the information is really accurate. I just have to correct that after Tocumen International Airport, the second most important is Enrique Malek International Airport in David City, Chiriqui Province. Bocas del Toro Airport is important but smaller.
I feel left out of this video :( there are a lot of asians (chinese specifically) in Panama that also came to work on the railroad. There is also mix between chinese and the rest of the other ethnicities in panama making it usual to find people with asian last names, but mixed features.
We all rely by the saying "God is Panamanian" "Dios es Panameño" because we don't have (so far) tornadoes, hurricanes, whirlpools, tsunamis or any hardcore weather.
When that plate elevated it divided the Atlantic and the pacific oceans, forming the climate that gave rise to the evolution we now know, so literally humans wouldn't exist without the Panama tectonic plate.
@@JonahSMoonRiver but its curius tho, we dont get earthquakes here, just in the frontier in chiriqui and the ocasional central province one, but nothing like in japan
I lived in Panama in 1991, and I honestly remember per 12:09, I first heard that beat in Panama which would eventually make it to Puerto Rico as reggaetón; just saying, I too believe it started out in Panama.
In Panama we consider the indigenous people as the real panamanians, the rest of us are descendants of foreigners who came to Panama to start a new life.
I have visited Panama once in my early teens and was mesmerized by the friendly people, amazing sights and an incredibly prosperous nation, much love to Panama from Brazil!
I am a tour guide in Panama and I have to say this is very very accurate and complete. Great summary. It usually takes me about 4 hours to give out all this information during a tour.
Panama is sending its teachers (some or all, not sure which) to English speaking countries for them to take English classes at universities. They want all of the k-12 students to be at least bilingual. This includes the remote villages and islands.
@@jaroslavlosos5498 it's spanish pig Latin. Panamanian people invert words. Que pasó is que (x)sopa, primo is mopri, tío is otí, hambre is breham, and so forth.

Panama City (Florida): *exists* Panama City: wait wut
5 ปีที่แล้ว +49
Panama City FL received its name since if a straight line is drawn in the map from where is located to the south it crosses over Panama City. At its foundation the canal construction was trendy so they used it as a name to attract people live there.
Good video summary of Panama. The other week we celebrated 500 years of the founding of Panama City. Greetings to all from my beautiful country PANAMA! Español: Buen video resumen de Panamá. La otra semana cumplimos 500 años de fundación de Ciudad de Panamá. Saludos a todos desde mi bello país PANAMÁ!!!
One of the best episodes yet, and I have visited Panama twice, really nice people, scenery, nature and such a rich culture, lots of things were missed out in the video though
Yeah, he probably just pulled the information about Panama from Wikipedia and probably spent under an hour looking/"reading" the page. Probably also skipped the section of Demographics of Panama
The thing with Colombia is that we, Panama, join them when it was part of the Gran Colombia because we were afraid of a re-colonization from Spain since we are a small country.
I don't think any country has *begged* the interference of the US, although I am sure it is written in your "history books" that was done for humanitarian reasons and to bring democracy there....
@@Destroyer-od5dm yes and no. Separatist were of course nowhere near happy with the central government, however the video does give a hint and what actually happened. The Colombian government did not want the US involvement on the construction of the canal, so the US sold the separatist the idea that they would support independence without requiring anything back from them, so afterwards the US basically invaded Colombia and send also warships to block the Colombian ports. Once Panama was granted independence under this amicable environment, the US flexed their muscles again against the separatist, making them sign a treaty that would give the US complete control of the canal forever. Basically the US used their well known "bigger army diplomacy" against everyone involved just meet their goals.
El Chombo?!?!?!? God that brings me back, Chacarron will forever be one of the great classics of music. Pure lyrical talent, in its purest form Thank you Panama, for this gift to humanity
As a Mexican we had a Hungarian emperor and the French also tried to invade the country. It would've been cool to have spoken another European language or have more European blood in our country. We're all mostly Spanish descent.
The typical hat of Panama is the "pintao hat" that is made by our artisans and has many designs at the national level. An important information to add as well, is our typical dress which is the "pollera" which is also made by our artisans and is considered one of the most ostentatious typical dresses in America due to the amount of details it has. The rest, very good video. Greetings from Panama🇵🇦👍🏼
*Panama:* Did you just forcibly ask me out on a date?! *USA:* Yeah I do it all the time. UK: *sweats nervously* yeah yeah yeah it's totally the US that does that heh heh.
Love to visit Panama one day. Beautiful country 🙌 Finally my country PAPUA NEW GUINEA's next. Been watching GN just over an year now and to say I'm excited IS an understatement. 🤩🙌🏾
I’m Panamanian and I must say kudos to you guys. This is a well researched and presented video with accurate and up-to-date information (the only faux pas I picked up was that the Torrijos-Carter Treaty was signed in 1977, not in 1979 and that you renamed Port of Cristóbal as Port of Colón), which is a rarity when it comes to videos like these. Well done!
Kind of amazing how you glossed over Rubén Blades so quickly, he's a really big cultural icon in latin america, and you didn't even mention he was minister of Culture for a time in the 2000's
Fun video highlighting Panama! When my friends and I were in college in the States our friends DID call us the Panamaniacs! A few things just fyi for those interested: 1- Plaza de Francia is in Casco Viejo, not on the causeway. 2- The highest tolls paid by ships today, post-Panama Canal expansion, are actually closer to a million dollars…that $300k figure is very outdated. 3- It’s tagua nut, not tauga nut. Super fun video, gracias! ~ IL Panama Editor Jessica Ramesch
Many Afro Caribbeans migrated to Panama to help build the canal. Towns of Rio Abajo, bocas del Toro and Colon is where you can find most of the Spanglish speaking afro Caribbeans. If you live or visit Brooklyn new York, the Flatbush/Crown Heights area Afro Caribbean Panamanians live with other afro Caribbean peoples.
You guys are running this show too fast. But I have to admit I’m an old man. Lots of good information, practical for people who planning to visit or move permanently. You did a good job!
Fun fact, Justine Pasek is half Polish, she was born to a Polish father and Panamian mother (it's beyond me how a Panamian found themselves in eastern Europe during the cold war) they moved to Poland to a city called Wożuczyn which is very close to my home city Zamość. Then they moved to Panama
I'm a Zonian born in Ancon with Panamanian roots living in the US. Have not been there in a while (12 Yrs) but my grandmother made sure I knew my roots cause she knew I was never going back to stay . And must say your video is very good, entertaining and accurate. Thanks for the memories.
I habe always dreamt to go visit and live in Panama, I have been alot of places in the world but Panama is most on my list. Was so happy to see this episode
Oh my God, the Harpy Eagle looks so cool! I'd take that as my national animal any day! Greetings from Germany, which has an arguably less cool national eagle.
I wish there had been space to talk about the valuable influence and contributions the Asian, especially Chinese and Indian, Arab and Eastern European communities have made to what Panama is today.
This is a funny reference to the fact that “I’m embarrassed” is often mistranslated as “Estoy embarazada” (I’m pregnant) instead of “Estoy avergonzada”.
Interesting fact: the last World Youth Day took place in January 2019. For those who do not know what this is, it's a gathering of Catholics from around the world who go see the Pope when he visits a certain nation every 2-3 years. Usually it's held in August, but because August is the rainy season in Panama, they held it in January.
Food stuff will remain a mystery in origin, since most argue that Spain had cultural appropiation of their dishes. Like ceviche is claimed by Perú , but Spain says had it first... Arroz con Leche by Puerto Rico and Spanish says theirs, etc... // Fun Fact: Chile tries to appropiate everything from Perú (food, drinks), only to piss them off.

The reenactment of Panama's history was fun - especially with the us just forcing itself there. Good job on the video!
I don't think any country has *begged* the interference of the US, although I am sure it is written in your "history books" that was done for humanitarian reasons and to bring democracy there....
@@JuanMartinez-bs9ck problably the only ones who begged where the separatists
@@Destroyer-od5dm yes and no. Separatist were of course nowhere near happy with the central government, however the video does give a hint and what actually happened. The Colombian government did not want the US involvement on the construction of the canal, so the US sold the separatist the idea that they would support independence without requiring anything back from them, so afterwards the US basically invaded Colombia and send also warships to block the Colombian ports. Once Panama was granted independence under this amicable environment, the US flexed their muscles again against the separatist, making them sign a treaty that would give the US complete control of the canal forever.
Basically the US used their well known "bigger army diplomacy" against everyone involved just meet their goals.
@Jonathan Williams please read my lengthy answer before, thanks.
El Chombo?!?!?!?
God that brings me back, Chacarron will forever be one of the great classics of music. Pure lyrical talent, in its purest form
Thank you Panama, for this gift to humanity
Dame Tu cosita is from el Chombo too…The green marcian😂…Fun Fact: Chombo/chomba is the slang for “black man/girl”
Keith you forgot to mention that one song by Van Halen called Panama
Glad I'm not the only one who thought about the song. It's about a car and not the country unfortunately.
As a Scotsman, I approve at your attempt at the accent. hahaha
Lol imagine Scotland in Central America
As a Mexican we had a Hungarian emperor and the French also tried to invade the country. It would've been cool to have spoken another European language or have more European blood in our country. We're all mostly Spanish descent.
The typical hat of Panama is the "pintao hat" that is made by our artisans and has many designs at the national level. An important information to add as well, is our typical dress which is the "pollera" which is also made by our artisans and is considered one of the most ostentatious typical dresses in America due to the amount of details it has. The rest, very good video. Greetings from Panama🇵🇦👍🏼
*Panama:* Did you just forcibly ask me out on a date?!
*USA:* Yeah I do it all the time.
UK: *sweats nervously* yeah yeah yeah it's totally the US that does that heh heh.
France : *whistles herself away*
US: Ahhh Britain, guess we didn't fall far from the tree.

Love to visit Panama one day. Beautiful country 🙌
Finally my country PAPUA NEW GUINEA's next. Been watching GN just over an year now and to say I'm excited IS an understatement. 🤩🙌🏾
How about time we had a “ Watermelon war” or “Incidente de la tajada de sandia”. Gotta love history
🇵🇦 TIERRA CANALERA me siento afortunado de haber nacido aqui!!! Amo mi pais
Yo tambien! Jamas me quiero mudar de aqui!

"Panama is the least populated nation in Central America with 4 million people"
Don't forget Belize! Pop: 374,681 (2017)
I'm Beliceno and was about to call that out! He should know this being he covered all of Central America! 😂
Also Belize population is slightly over 400,000 people now and growing.
I’m Panamanian and I must say kudos to you guys. This is a well researched and presented video with accurate and up-to-date information (the only faux pas I picked up was that the Torrijos-Carter Treaty was signed in 1977, not in 1979 and that you renamed Port of Cristóbal as Port of Colón), which is a rarity when it comes to videos like these. Well done!
Belize: *exists*
Barbs: Panama is the least populated country in Central America
Belize doesn't exist, it was just a British conspiracy to undermine the Spanish Empire.
@@vvg_lol terrible joke, sorry

So happy I was not the only one who noticed this.

Sancocho: _it’s free real estate._
As a Dominican I can confirm :D
Viva el sancocho.
Sancocho at 35 degrees.. 🤟
In the Dominican Republic is like a national dish
They have square trees and they eat something called "old clothes?"
...I have more questions than answers
Old clothes is a type of meat that we eat in Panama. It is really delicious.
John Dee. Old Clothes is a kind of meat 🥩. It has really a good taste.
Actually, “old clothes” (just like so many Latin America traits) comes from my country. Ropa Vieja is a very popular dish here in Spain!
Old clothes are pieces of meat that reseamble raged clothes!
The meat cuct is called skirt and is the cow's diaphragm
I'm excited already for the peruvian episode, hurry up!!!
Pd: everybody loves Panama, they are adorable!
Kind of amazing how you glossed over Rubén Blades so quickly, he's a really big cultural icon in latin america, and you didn't even mention he was minister of Culture for a time in the 2000's
A hug to our Panamanian brothers! ¡Saludos de Costa Rica!
BEAUTIFUL!! I miss being there. All my moms family, PANAMA!!! 🇵🇦 ❤️ yall much
Im from Panamá and im proud of my COUNTRY 🇵🇦🇵🇦🇵🇦✌️

@Culture Freedom hahaha
@Culture Freedom pretty much that and manatíes
Fun video highlighting Panama! When my friends and I were in college in the States our friends DID call us the Panamaniacs! A few things just fyi for those interested: 1- Plaza de Francia is in Casco Viejo, not on the causeway. 2- The highest tolls paid by ships today, post-Panama Canal expansion, are actually closer to a million dollars…that $300k figure is very outdated. 3- It’s tagua nut, not tauga nut. Super fun video, gracias!

Many Afro Caribbeans migrated to Panama to help build the canal. Towns of Rio Abajo, bocas del Toro and Colon is where you can find most of the Spanglish speaking afro Caribbeans. If you live or visit Brooklyn new York, the Flatbush/Crown Heights area Afro Caribbean Panamanians live with other afro Caribbean peoples.
So proud of my country yas!!!!!! Te amo Panamá💜🇵🇦
Chiriqui is pronounced Chi-re-key
Besides that a very good synopsis of how Panama became a country. It’s a great country to visit and live.
You guys are running this show too fast. But I have to admit I’m an old man. Lots of good information, practical for people who planning to visit or move permanently. You did a good job!
I agree
You can always use the option to playback at a slower speed. I find that helps.
@@subpolarity Me, too -- that option is in the little gear icon near the bottom right of the video as it's playing. Click to change the speed.
Forget the canal, Panama has square tree trunks! 😳

So you can punch trees in Panama? Huh, interesting.
I used to live to a place with a lot of those trees.. Sadly you dont get wood from them by punching them :(
XD...
Yeah man but look out, there are a lot of creepers that hide behind those trees
Make a crafting table

Stop making fun of Keith's music segment! It's actually kinda my favourite. I'm a musician.
@@villa7230 bruh
Villa nah we live, except you
What a coincidence ! Panama city this week is celebrating 500 years !
Fun fact, Justine Pasek is half Polish, she was born to a Polish father and Panamian mother (it's beyond me how a Panamian found themselves in eastern Europe during the cold war) they moved to Poland to a city called Wożuczyn which is very close to my home city Zamość. Then they moved to Panama
I’m a Panamanian and super impressed with how you caught the nuance of Panama, the people and culture. Very impressed!!
Theodore Roosevelt when he found out panama was under Columbian rule:
LOOKS LIKE THEY NEED SOME FREEDOM
Elite_Philisopher 1 Panama needs democracy 😂
Or, you know...a different imperial power, lol
Elite_Philisopher 1 at least they got the canal
Colombian* not Columbian
ColOmbia no Columbia
You can't finish a minute in this episode without mentioning the canal. Splendid episode thought!!
I'm a Zonian born in Ancon with Panamanian roots living in the US. Have not been there in a while (12 Yrs) but my grandmother made sure I knew my roots cause she knew I was never going back to stay . And must say your video is very good, entertaining and accurate. Thanks for the memories.
As a costarrican I confirm, we were REALLY HAPPY about Panama making it into the FIFA World Cup. We really appreciate Panamanians!
Woow, finally Panama! Thank you for this.
This is a great video for teachers to use in school when it comes to some form of history!!! Excelente y soy de panamá!
I habe always dreamt to go visit and live in Panama, I have been alot of places in the world but Panama is most on my list. Was so happy to see this episode
Oh my God, the Harpy Eagle looks so cool! I'd take that as my national animal any day!
Greetings from Germany, which has an arguably less cool national eagle.
But you have a kids book about a tiger who wants to go to Panama or something like that
@@panamamelissa But Janosch never interested me as a kid.
I wish there had been space to talk about the valuable influence and contributions the Asian, especially Chinese and Indian, Arab and Eastern European communities have made to what Panama is today.

Absolutely nobody:
Keith: I'M PREGNANT
NORMIE
actually he says: estoy embarezado
Keith is a blessing from God damn
This is a funny reference to the fact that “I’m embarrassed” is often mistranslated as “Estoy embarazada” (I’m pregnant) instead of “Estoy avergonzada”.
Interesting fact: the last World Youth Day took place in January 2019. For those who do not know what this is, it's a gathering of Catholics from around the world who go see the Pope when he visits a certain nation every 2-3 years. Usually it's held in August, but because August is the rainy season in Panama, they held it in January.
WOW, we also have Ropa Vieja and Bienmesabe in Spain!!!
Food stuff will remain a mystery in origin, since most argue that Spain had cultural appropiation of their dishes.
Like ceviche is claimed by Perú , but Spain says had it first... Arroz con Leche by Puerto Rico and Spanish says theirs, etc... // Fun Fact: Chile tries to appropiate everything from Perú (food, drinks), only to piss them off.
panama to brazilians = where the plane stop so we can take the connection to miami
Don't forget visiting boquete town
These animations have improved so much since I last watched you during the H-period. Crazy good stuff, keep it up!
