its funny the reactions I get from alotta people here about my hair. One of my cousin asked if i could get a job in the states with my hair like this and I told her I´m a high school teacher. She was shocked and replied that that could never happen down here in Panama.

Then i asked, " What about in Colon?"

She said i would be a "dios" in Colon. Locks are practically worshipped up there. Even the hair of the Black Jesus reportedly is in locks. I´ve see pictures of the Black Jesus in Portobelo but I couldn´t tell if they were locks or not.

Anyways its interesting the seemingly extraordinary difference between blacks in Panama Province and the ones in Colon province. I have to go there for myself to see what´s up. I´m going next week.
