                                          PANAMA CANAL













                                                                 
                                          PANAMA CANAL
·      IT IS ONE OF THE MOST BIGGEST CANAL IN THE WORLD.
·      IT IS ABOUT 50 MILES (80 KM) LONG.
·      IT WAS OPENED IN 1914 AFTER ITS MASSIVE CONSTRUCTION OVER 30 YEARS.
·      IT IS FOUND IN BETWEEN NORTH AMERICA AND SOUTH AMERICA ACROSS GUTAN LAKE.
·      IT HAS CELEBRATED ITS HUNDRED YEAR ANIVERSARY ON MAY8 2014.
·      ABOUT 13000 SHIPS CROSSES THE CANAL EVERY YEAR.
·      WHICH BRINGS A REVENUE OF 8000MILLION US DOLLARS A YEAR TO THE PANAMIAN GOVERNMENT.
·      BEFORE TWO WEEKS I SAW A NEWS WHICH SAYS NEW 4GATE LOCKS HAS  ARRIVED FROM PARIS TO PANAMA.
·      IT IS PERFOMING ITS NEW EXPANSION OF THE CANAL NEAR BY TO THE CANAL.
·      WHICH CAN TRANSPORT BIGGER SHIPS THAN BEFORE.
·      IT WILL BE OPENED BY JAN 2016.
