Settling into daily life in Panama

Teenage Life in Panama

你将有机会与你在巴拿马遇到的第一批人建立密切的联系, 因为大多数青少年不在家人身边的时候都是和学校的朋友在一起. 同学们喜欢在考试前组成学习小组, and they’ll organize weekend events together, too. In your free time, you can join friends going to dances, to the movies or just hanging out in the park. Baseball, soccer and basketball are popular, but no matter what the activity, teenagers generally like to hang out in a group, rather than solo.

Food you’ll encounter in Panama

巴拿马的食物反映了其人民的多样性. 米饭是主食——你几乎见过没有米饭的饭. You’ll also see a lot of meat, beans, 芭蕉(香蕉的一种)和西红柿之类的蔬菜, carrots and cabbage. Most dishes aren’t too spicy. 无论吃什么，你通常都会得到一种名为“chicha”的甜冷饮. 与大多数其他拉丁美洲国家不同，用餐时间往往是非正式的. Aside from big family dinners, you and your family might eat at different times, each person grabbing food when you’re hungry.
