Apparel

In panama, looks are everything! It doesn’t matter where you buy your clothes, just that you look nice. All the clothes are so much less expensive. You can go to the mall with $20 and buy a couple outfits including shoes and still have money for the bus trip home. Which for me was only an hour and a half thankfully! In order to get to Panama City you had to take a bus if you didn’t own a car. The bus ride was fairly cheap, $1.25 to get to Metro Mall and $2 to get to Albrook mall. The boys usually had to work for their money and the parents gave the girls money to go shopping.
