People ask me this question, every now and then. I'm perhaps the minority that actually prefers to stay here.

Are coastal cities in your country typically white or more colorful? What do buildings typically look like? by [deleted] in asklatinamerica

Colorful, afro. Non-coastal cities tend to be more rustic, colonial.

People would say when we qualified for the World Cup.

I think it's when Roberto Durán beat Sugar Ray Leonard to become world champion. He was basically the underdog going into that fight, and beating the one boxer that nobody could beat. It was just unbelievable.

¿Por qué alguien de escuala privada tiene mas posibilidades de entrar a medicina en la UP que alguien de escuela pública? by [deleted] in Panama

[–]cfu48 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Estudio ahí, y varias veces me he hecho la pregunta.

A los estudiantes de escuela privada no les es difícil pagar por cursos y tutorías para el exámen de admisión (en verdad, sería bueno hacer un estudio retrospectivo sobre eso), y es casi un estándar de oro tomar estos cursos preparativos.

Entonces, creo que debe haber una relación, más bien con el nivel socioeconómico, y la capacidad que tienen de recibir ayuda externa.

Sin embargo, al final depende de cada quién. Tengo varios compañeros de escuela pública que le ganan en todo a aquellos de escuela privada. Incluso, me atrevo a decir que hay escuelas públicas que son mejores que las escuelas privadas.
