Dozens of hippies who got stuck at a festival in Panama due to coronavirus realized that the collectivist utopia they sought after is actually “hell” as they bicker over food and territory.

Burning Man is cancelled.
Is that the Banana Splits?
I hope the Americans can be stuck until December - just to be safe.
The reality here in Panama (I live in the mountains of Boquete where it is spring-like year round) is that the #Cuomovirus arrived here after the U.S. so the curve is still on the incline with over 5,000 cases nationwide but only 70 in our distant province.
The police here mean business. However, if you are polite with them they are mostly laid-back, even to foreigners. ID checks are a normal part of life even during good times.
The international airport has been closed for almost a month. The American Embassy allowed a few military flights out after the quarantine began but it is no pleasure trip. You have to pay in advance and you are dropped off at Fort Walton Beach, FL or San Angelo, TX. Once you arrive and go through customs, you’re on your own.
Currently, men are limited to four hours of freedom per week. Women are allowed six hours. Otherwise, you are to shelter in place. Pretty much all business is closed other than groceries, pharmacies and gas stations.
Still, I feel safer here than I would have back in the States. We’ve had no real shortages of supplies but if you need a haircut or a hammer, you’re SOL.
I was afraid the hippies might be stuck up here. We get plenty of them in February for the Festival of Flowers, Carnival and the Jazz Festival.
They’re as diverse as their ideas.
What happened in that video?
Sometimes you're just tempting fate with the hype. I don't think these are hippies, though. Just spoiled rich kids with all the answers who are learning that there are a few more questions.
IIRC, the shocked/smiling .gif comes from an episode of “Survivor”, where it catches the reactions when someone gets “voted off the island”, or whatever.
Ah. Looks more like reactions to a “hold my beer and watch this” dare.
Why an apostrophe in Karen’s?
“Love Power
I’m talking about Love Power
The power of the sweet flower
It’s going to rule the Earth”
The first time I saw that in The Producers, I almost lost a kidney I laughed so hard. Dick Shawn. Great comedian.
“Still, I feel safer here than I would have back in the States. “
I feel safe here.
Absentee voters, right?
Groovy man, Groovy.
HIPPIES SMELL!
You still have that War pendant?
Hey everybody, we’re gonna get laid....

The north coast of Panama has a raw unexplored quality. Large swaths of exotic jungle sweep down to the coast.
The flora and fauna is amazing, monkeys, sloth, jaguar, cayman and a multitude of colorful birds.
A balmy 30 C° with a constant refreshing breeze.
Golden sandy beaches, majestic bays, rock pools and coral reefs, a river and a waterfall, making it the perfect location for Tribal Gathering.
The region has a rich cultural blend of local indigenous and Afro-Caribbean heritage.
People are lively and friendly. And their traditional cuisines make for simple but delicious food!
This truly is a paradise on earth.
Not gonna reply, huh?
Okay, if you won’t tell me why an apostrophe is properly used with a non possessive proper noun then will you tell me the utility of placing quotation marks around the words don’t and does not?
