(An Ode to Florida State University Panama Campus) Where else can you find… …Panamanians speaking in English among themselves, Americans speaking español, Panamanians and Americans hanging out in the hallway Enjoying the campus’ facilities; Enjoying life? Where else can you find… …Jewish-Panamanian students Getting along with their American peers; Looking for a better education and jugando billar, too. Chinese-Panamanian students blending in, In search for better opportunities than their parents had? Where else can you find… …American students from Florida State University’s Main Campus, Coming all the way down from Tallahassee, En busca de un poco de español en un clima tropical? In this campus, full of life, Many interesting things are to be mentioned; Where else can you find… …Students playing dominó, barajas y billar, Instead of going to class? Where else can you find… …International students, who give life to housing, Planeando el “tripeo” del fin de semana? And a computer room, full of students; Crowded with Panamanians, Americans, Jews, Chinese, Colombians, and students from abroad trying to finish Their homework at the last-minute? Where else can you find… Student Council’s members organizing activities Un favor a sus compañeros, Decorating a lounge with Halloween motifs; And an American-Nicaraguan professor Dressed like a Panamanian?
