I know there´s a pharmacy that sells Viagra or Cialis on via Espana, but can anyone tell me what's the protocol on acquiring some? Do I just march up to the pharmacy and ask for it straight out? Will they give it to me no questions or prescriptions asked? Does anyone know the price of a pill?

I tried looking in the papers for the person who sells vit v and c and so far no luck

Can anyone please help?

Thanks,

You just walk up to the pharmacy counter and ask for "Sidenafil" (the generic name for Viagra). The last time I bought some was for $4. 79 a tablet of 50ml. At the El Rey supermarket pharmacy. The actual brandname "Viagra" was about $15. 00 for 50ml. I have never been asked for a prescription or even received a curious look from any pharmacist (male or female).

I'm not sure about Cialis since I have never tried it.

Thanks to Lome Togo for providing info. On an important matter.

It is no joke to show up at the airport ready to return home, bags packed, physically drained, and drained of money, only to be told by the airport officials that you need to go to the downtown Immigration Office (the next day), and get your papers in order before you will be allowed to leave the country! Believe me, it is no joke!

An ounce of prevention.

I entered Panama on September 3rd, 2008.

I received a tourist card when I picked up my plane ticket in Orlando. It is better to get this card when leaving the U. S. , so you do not have to stand in line in Panama to get one.

The Tarjeta de Turismo states (on the back).

This card enables the bearer to stay in Panama for thirty (30) days and may be granted an extension for an additional sixty (60) days, provided he or she is duly registered at the Foreign Registration Office within the Department of Immigration and Naturalization or ant other of its branches in the territory of Panama.

My stay in Panama was for about 38 days. I called the Immigration office after 25 days there saying that I would be staying for about 35-40 days total. I asked if I needed to go to the Immigration office to get my stuff in order so that I could leave with no problem. I was told that U. S. Citizens could stay for up to 90 days without the need to change anything. I read the back of the tourist card to the lady on the phone (in Spanish), and she said that the rules were that U. S. Citizens did not need to do anything to change their status if staying more than 30, but less than 90 days. I called a second time the next day. A different rep. From the same office (Main Immigration office in Panama City), gave the same info. I called again about 2 days before leaving. The response was the same. I asked this person if they were 100% sure, as I did not want problems at the airport. The voice responded 101% sure!

I just showed up for my return flight to the U. S. On day 38 of my stay in Panama, with my passport and original "untouched" tourist card that had been stamped 38 days earlier, and was granted passage with no problem.

If ever in doubt guys, just call the Immigration Office, or the immigration section at the Tocumen airport. I believe the number of the former is 507-507-1800.

I came into Panama on 18 September and explicitly asked the immigration guy how many days I get. His answer was 90. As you will learn here, the law is one thing, any bureaucrat's interpretatiion and exercise of it is another thing. No where, either in my passport or the form you get from immigration, states I get 90 days.

My advice: ask the guy/gal when you enter: "por cuantos dias? Quiero 90, por favor". The new law (as of August, 2008) says Americans, at least, are entitled to 90 days but best to ask.

I have noticed that doing a search for Panamanian females (18-30 years old, Panama City) returns a good number of attractive females with a single picture that are either implicitly or explicitly selling sex). I emailed some , but no response (yet).

Does anyone have any experience with this that could give me some information? Any other web sites that are effective for meeting chicas in Panama?

Thank you in advance for your help!

I'm in Panama City now. When you get here you buy a visa at the airport for $5. I'm pretty sure it's good for 30 days.

Come on down, this place is nice, crawling with Colombianas, but pricey, bring your bank.

Happy tales and tails guys...play safe. It's a pity we can't f*** them all.

If someone who has been in Panama during the last month can give some input, I would appreciate it.

P.D

There are several beach opportunities in Panama. The most prevalent are the Pacific side beaches. There are many beaches and well developed resorts west of P-City, 1.5 to 2 hours west. The beaches are OK, with brown sand and dark green water. You can also take a 45-min boat ride to Taboga; it's much the same there.

You can fly 30 min to Contadora in the Pearl Islands in the Pacific. Supposedly nice beaches; I've never been.

3 hours north of P-City is Isla Grande in the Caribbean. Very nice, with white sand, crystal water, coral, but it's small and basically only two small hotels. It's a drag to drive there.

Perhaps the best beach opportunity is Bocas del Toro, a 1 hr puddle-jumper flight from P-City. Developed tourist industry, really nice caribbean beaches with white sand, clear water, with snorkeling and scuba available.

If your inquiry relates to chasing tail, I can't offer much advice, other than to say it's definitely not a target-rich environment. I've mostly seen families, bonded pairs, and mixed groups. If you speak spanish and got game, perhaps you could scrounge up something at the Pacific side beaches.

Can someone tell me what's the deal with the beach seen in Panama?

I was in PC in June and stayed at the Parador. It was clean,cheap and girl friendly. Anyone with thier ear to the ground hear if any of that has changed?

I may be back in PC for a wedding, (not mine), in early May. It would be great to hang with any ISG mongers.

I will post my report when I get back.

Guys,

I will be in Panama in the next couple of weeks staying in the Miramar Intercontienental. What is there around the area. Is anything walking distance?

The bodeguita is like a three minutes walk from the hotel. You only need to cross the street in front of the hotel and walk to the right. You should be sure if the hotel is guest friendly. All the action in Panama nightlife is near your hotel.

Guys,

I will be in Panama in the next couple of weeks staying in the Miramar Intercontienental. What is there around the area. Is anything walking distance? I have been reading the posts. The best one's I keep hearing is golden time and la bodeguita. Is there close to the hotel? No one has put up an address for any of these places.

I do not have too much time to monger. So I need to be quick. Is the inter girl friendly? Any help appreciated.
