Panama City

Had to venture over to La Mayor to get the "real experience" of a local. Out of town fisherman, etc. All I can say is that this place makes Tijuana look like a 3 Star Resort. It's in a dangerous area on the border of the "secure area" so be EXTRA careful, and DON'T get in a taxi with tinted windows. You'll get robbed or worse. Walked in to a very full bar, with locals buying $2 beers and girls with bikini tops walking around. $25 will get you about 15 minutes in the dingy back rooms, where you can hear many others right outside your door. Columbian girl, about a 7. 5, with a decent body, but with only 15 mins to spare and no "warm up" time, you need to be really horny, hard, and ready to plow her. We go into the room, she immediately gets naked, and expects you to perform. I don't know about most of you, but Junior doesn't get hard just by telling him to. So she tried starting a BJ, but with all the noise it was tough to concentrate. After 5 mins I was chubbing up a little so she just stuck it in her and went to work f'ing me. Oh well. It was an experience and I was happy to get back to my hotel alive with all my $$$.

Returned to Panama City after spending the week in Bocas. Picked up girls out of Habanos again both Friday and Saturday night. All of the cute ones are Colombian-and many to choose from. I did duos both nights-paid each girl $100-which was bit on the low side-but I was paying for two of them. Best time was Saturday I really liked this busty chick Joanna from Medelllin. Only negative was CBJ-not BBBJ. These girls did not speak much English-so it is much much better if you speak a little Spanish.

When we first arrived at Habanos about 9:30-rather dead-had been raining. But by 11:00, the place was packed. My buddy hooked up again with Andrea a cute English speaking Columbian-$150 for him. We stayed at Torres de Alba no charge to bring the girls up to the room and no hassle. Torres de Alba is a good choice-virtually across the street from Veneto-10 minute walk to Habanos. I recommend Pomodoro restaurant doesn't look like much from the outside, but there is a very nice interior patio and the wine bar has a nice selection. As you walk out of Torres de Alba, turn left and it is on the corner, within sight of the Veneto. There are lots of choices in the Veneto as well I just preferred the setup in Habanos.

Also, Veneto has a decent sports book with a ton of monitors-so we were able to watch College Football games on Saturday afternoon and early evening. I wish I could head back to Panama tomorrow-but alas-must wait till next year. Bocas del Toro makes for a nice side trip for those interested in something different-45 minute flight-beautiful beaches-very inexpensive and decent bars and restaurants.

Guys you'll come across plenty of taxis with tinted windows and loud shitty reggaeton music blasting. You will not be in danger, you will be inside of a taxi in Panama. As always negotiate the price on any taxi before getting in.

Add to the bad information the idea that La Mayor and it's neighbor, Boca, are in a "dangerous area." The block where La Mayor and Boca are located is as safe as Las Vegas Boulevard. Traffic, taxis, people, vendors, all the time. Frequent cops. Venturing up the side streets in the area is, however, a completely separate proposition.

There is absolutely no reason be to scaring people off from the fun and low cost adventures that can be had in these places.

What up fellas,

I'm flying out to Colombia in a couple of months and thought I'd spend a few nights in Panama to experience something different. It sounded like a really good idea with pretty good, name brand hotels being very affordable and offering tons of gambling, food and drinks. As I kept reading I learned it's pretty much all about Habanos, Venetos and the massage parlors.

As I started reading about pricing, it amazed me how expensive it is here. It seems like for an hour or two, it's between $100-$200? Is the service, looks, attitude really worth it? I'm confused.

Help me,

YG

YG[/QUOTE]They are the same girls as you will get in Colombia looks wise. Attitude wise, you are better off in Colombia as a lot of the ones in Panama have been spoiled by high-paying, tip-giving, western-union sending American and European guys. The girls have formed a kind of quasi-union where they demand the hugely inflated prices. Enough guys pay it where they are able to maintain it. It is unfortunate and makes it necessary to negotiate very hard and be willing to let a few girls who won't come down off their high price walk away.

The other unfortunate side effect of this dynamic is that a lot of the girls have turned into complete mercenaries and its getting harder and harder to find girls that are warm, affectionate and fun-loving.

[QUOTE=RubberGears;1487825]There is absolutely no reason be to scaring people off from the fun and low cost adventures that can be had in these places.[/QUOTE]There is a very good reason to scare people off and it is an unfortunate one. If enough of the guys who overpay, tip, buy gifts and send western-unions go, the place will no longer be low-cost and fun. The whole country has basically been ruined by this dynamic, there are only a very few places left that haven't been contaminated.

Hopefully, those that don't want to fall subject to this effect are figuring out ways to prosper in this environment. There are few hidden gems anymore.

Going to Veneto Nov 19 wondering, how it is that time of year going to party with the ladys? My friend likes party drugs do we ask the girls for that kinda stuff or taxi?

Thanks if anybody can help.

Had some friends in town and and after long weekend of enjoying the wonders of Panama nightlife we got lazy and found an escorts site I had never seen and gave it a try. All three chicas showed up together and on time. They were clearly the same ones from the photos on the website:

Took these pics off the website, in order, Alexandra, Sara, Marcela

We thought seemed too high at first, but then recalled our last bar tab at Habanos plus a few chicas cost like $300 an hour each! In the end we felt like it was worth it. One of my boys even paid for their taxi when they left.

YG[/QUOTE]My two cents is that if you're already in Colombia, you're pretty much wasting your time coming to Panama. Panama City is a nice modern city but has fewer mongering options and is more expensive. Gambling, I don't know, but I know it's all over in MDE as well and cheap. You'd do better, in my opinion, visiting some other Colombian cities. Many good options, Cali, Armenia, Manizales, Peirera, Santa Marta, etc.

There is action in Colon as well but it's kind of dumpy. Cheaper though.
