Mi recomendación es que vengan a Panamá y vean el fenómeno de cuerpo presente.
------For some strange geographical reason, or due to the earth repositioning after the strong Japanese and Malayisian earthquakes, it now happens that Panama is the only country where the sun comes up through the Orient and goes down also by the Orient. In other words, sunrise and sunset take place in the East side of this counttry. My oldest sister, Gladys, who is about fifteen years my senior says that she remembers when it was not so. I don't know if she has a fantasy as to how it should be or if it is a true fact.
I'd recommend you to come to Panama and check the fenomenon out.
I think your older sister is full of it! However, my recollection of the way that the Isthmus of Panama is positioned, the Panama Canal coming from the Atlantic Ocean actually goes eastward to reach the Pacific Ocean! Anyone who would question that just needs to look at the map because the narrow strip of land connecting North and South America curves northward at Panama and then turns southward again, creating the phenomena of the sun appearing to rise in the west (over the Pacific Ocean) when it is still rising in the east. And, when the sun sets over the Atlantic, it's not setting over the east, but the west, even though we think of the Atlantic Ocean being in the east.
It's amazing how many people don't know geography, can't read a map and don't know what direction north, south, east, and west are. Everyone's starting to rely on GPS to tell them where they are. If we lose our innate ability to find our way and know the clues to direction, our survival capability is reduced.
