    Just back from Panama City. (Obarrio - near the area of this video).
    Uber works well, and not expensive.
    Food prices vary from not so expensive to over the top.
    We felt safe - and welcome.
    Panamá es un gran lugar, and you can use English in most cases.

    We took a trip to panama city for 9 days around 8 years ago. I'm not sure what it's like now. Regarding the prices, he's pretty on point. We stayed in the middle of panama city and spent a few days way outside of it. We went to a few nicer restaurants in Panama city and they were pretty sub par. Casco Viejo (the old city) is pretty much like the hipster part of town. A bunch of people bought out the cheap part of town and turned it into bars and restaurants. It's actually pretty nice. You get to see the old architecture while drinking in house made IPA beers and decent food. Very chill place, people are nice. Didn't feel dangerous.

      That's true, even in Panama wheater have high humity, sunny and 30 to 35 celcius, panamanians usually wear jeans(yes I know sounds crazy), specially in the city because work or one of the reason is that goverment buildings did not allow shorts in 90's until today(yes sounds stupid but It's what it is) , so I guess it's become in a some kind of common tradition with pass of decades (tourists don't worry about that). Usually we wear shorts for trecking, walking, trips to mountains, beaches, rivers, etc), sports and home. Specially on weekends.
