Biebermania reaches Panama

HIGH SCHOOL students skipping classes were among  over 300 young people who joined groupies from from Brazil, Costa Rica and Venezuela, camped out at the hotel of Canadian teen singing sensation Justin Bieber on the eve of his Thursday concert.

Similar scenes have been enacted at airports, hotels and concert locations during his Latin American tour.

Witnesses said that fans have left flowers in the room of the artist, whose entourage has taken over an entire floor.
Bieber arrived early Wednesday under heavy security, for the concert in Rommel Fernández Stadium.
