“I am back in Panama City and I have a slight pain on my left ankle but it is nothing serious. I will fully train on Wednesday so as to be fit for the next week´s games”, said Roman Torres. On the other hand, Alberto Blanco stated he expects to adapt quickly to the time zone shifting and help the Panamanian team to beat their Caribbean rivals. He also mentioned that the purpose of these friendly games is to get ready for the CONCACAF Gold Cup 2009. Panamanian players did some stretching prior to training. Then, they worked out for about 30 minutes under the supervision of physical trainer Julio Toral. Also, goalkeeper coach Donaldo Gonzalez focused on the two Panamanian goalies Luis Mejia and Kevin Melgar and encourage them to improve their reactions as goalkeeper. In overall, Panama´s coach Gary Stempel is doing a great job with his fellows. Continuing with the Panama Carnavales spirit, I’m bringing you some information about the way I spent Carnavales.
Friday night I got all my things ready to go to the Central Provinces. This year I decided to go to a place not very famous for its Carnivals, but known for the warmth of its people – Ocu. Turned out, Ocu’s carnivals have been getting bigger and better each year. I would have never thought it would be such wild party.
Full of drinks, tons of wild parties and many, many hot Panama girls, the Carnavales in Ocu are one to remember forever. During the day people would gather around Calle Centro (Central Street), jump, scream and party while they were getting wet with the water from the trucks. At night, some people would stay in Central Street while others would go to the wild party in any of the “mobile” night clubs and local night clubs such as El Viva Panama or El Parking (Panama City trendy night club – PEOPLE).
In summary, Ocu is the location for a tremendous wild party that I totally recommend for your next year Carnival’s celebrations. There’s no need to cry, though carnivals are over, this is just the beginning of this year’s Panama festivities so sit tight and wait to find out more about Panama holidays and wild parties.

“Moods” is a relatively classic discotheque in Panama. Since it’s opening around 3 years ago, it has become the usual place for many Panama party-goers. It has both regular and VIP areas. The VIP is on the second floor, right in front of the stage, where many bands cover popular songs to gain exposure. There is an additional area at the side, called the “Moods Bar”. Here you’ll find more tables than dance floor area, suited for drinking with friends. “Moods Panama” has quite accessible prices; the cover fee is usually from 5 to 10 dollars. Inside, the drinks are also reasonably priced.
To party in the “Moods Panama” VIP area, a bottle of liquor must be purchased, which is usually priced higher than in the regular area. You can also reserve tables or the VIP area in advance for private parties. A purchase of a few bottles is usually required and to leave the names of the party attendees. It’s seriously recommended that you visit “Moods Panama”. It has great ambience, the music is really varied and of course lots of good looking Panama girls. The party in Panama City starts early, but if you’re feeling tired from all the dancing in “Moods Panama”, step into the “Moods Bar” take a seat and enjoy a couple of beers to calm down.
