I thought sea level was sea level, but strangely, the Pacific side of the canal is about 20cm higher than the Atlantic side. Have a look at the site below, their FAQ are very good.

Yes. The Pacific Ocean is about 13 feet higher than the Atlantic Ocean.

I don't think so, sea level is sea level. I am 200 feet above it at the normal level. Tides change it but only by a few feet. We have a six foot tide so therefore it changes six feet when it is high tide.

West - Mexicans, hotter climate. East - Puerto Ricans/Cubans, has a tendency to be less warm. different accents. The east coast has extra historic monuments (i imagine). it really is all i am going to imagine of...

I would imagine so. The water is a bulge that the earth travels through.
