On the Canal in Panama

I think most can imagine what this is like. Surrounded by numerous, exceptionally large ships and even larger scarier Spanish sailors. The entry into the canal from the Atlantic side is through a town called Colon. I have no idea who named it, or whether they knew the meaning of the Ingless word, but its rather fitting. You are given strict advice not to walk anywhere and catch a taxi even if you are only going 200 metres down the road.The equivalent of a Cape Town taxi is not the small combi VW we all know, but are large old Amercian school buses. Thats no the funny part though, its how they are decorated that is. If you don't seem them coming because of the brightly coloured cartoon characters spray painted along the side, you'll definitely hear the music then. I think one of the speakers costs more than the entire bus.
