Panama City

[QUOTE=YippieKayay;1849175]It is absolutely scheduled. They can only fit so many women in that bar. You've seen it when its packed.[/QUOTE]Really. Show me a copy of the schedule? Who puts it together? Is there a schedule boss who's in charge of making the weekly schedule for the 500-1000 working girls who are in town at any particular time? Who Enforces it when someone doesn't show? Who enforces it when a girl shows up when she's not on the schedule? What is the punishment? Is the schedule emailed to every girl each week? What happens when a Girl pulls a date earlier in the night and never makes it to Habanos does a spot on the schedule open up and the boss calls another to fill in. Ridiculous. It doesn thappen. Its not logistically possible.

I've been to Panama easily over 100 times but, it doesn't take more than once going to Habanos to know that there is no way and no reason to have a schedule.

These girls are all Independent all of the time.

There used to be a loose "territory war. " Some girls stuck, to Veneto where others stuck to Habanos. Then at the end of the night Ashe was open ground.

Some (not many) girls are for lack of a better term "prefunded" Someone in Colombia, recruits a group of girls Pays there plane fare and apt and sends them to Panama. This may cost $1000 or so. The girls are usually made to pay back $5000 before they are released from the contract. I guess in this instance the person who financed the girls may try and set up some sort of a schedule but even then I don't see it.

I did not know about the pre funded girls but it makes sense. Where ever hookers roam there will be pimps of some sort. I imagine the girls are happy for the help and the ability to go somewhere that they can make money. A regular shop girl job in Colombia might make $200 a month. In Habanos they can make that in a night. This is a business after all.

Gentlemen,

The "migra" immigration was yesterday in Habanos, the chic ratio went down like 60% and price went up double. I think this weekend will be pretty much like that.

In search of [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord902][CodeWord902][/url] girls, expired visas for girls, etc. But I did not know this was happening in Panama City too. How many girls got busted? Did they get arrested? Did the cops bother the guys at all? What else can you tells us?

It really sucks because my weekend was spoiled!, I tried the LE palace but of course you have to pay triple, hope this info helps.

The raids happen a few times a year if not more. It kills business at Habanos / Veneto / Ahse forabout ten days after. If you happen to be there during that time it def. Brings down the enjoyment level of the vacation. Even when the girls start to trickle back in they are paranoid.

Funny story, about 8 years ago I was at Habanos without my passport or a copy. They conducted a raid, and asked to see my passport. I told them I didn't have it. They put me on thebus with about 20 or so girls. The friend I was with took a cab back to our room, grabbed my passport and hauled butt back. He showed the immigration officers my passport and they let me off of the detention bus. Another five minutes and I would have been trucked off to immigration jail with all the chicas.

Just got back from my first trip to Panama City.

First off I would like to thank this forum for the information to make this a good and memorable trip for me and my friends.

Stayed at the Hyatt which was really convenient since it was down the street from Habanos. The front desk workers at Hyatt were really cool and joked around about the girls we brought back. Went to Habanos for the first time. I felt like it was another Del Rey in Costa Rica but with better selection. Don't think I saw any 10's but saw a few 8's. Most of the girls start off at $200 but can be negotiated to $100-120.

Never seen so many nice Latina asses. A lot of them have boob jobs also. Friday night we went to Habanos for a little bit then came back and saw that the electric was out and heard someone saying 60 girls were in the bus. Waited there a bit and it was so damn hot so we left to the casino across the street. Stopped by Gold Fingers and they had like 6 girls. I thought 3 of them were like 7. 5's.

Saturday night went to Habanos and then to Ashe. My buddy negotiated Vodka bottles for $100 a bottle but they ripped us off and charged us $200 a bottle. Saw a couple of good looking ones there.

Stayed at the Trump Sunday and they had a $75 fee to bring a girl back. A couple of my buddies brought girls to a place next to Habanos that they rented out for an hour for $25. Don't know the name of it. My friends stopped by Veneto and said there were only fat girls haha.

Overall, I thought it was a good trip. Was kinda expecting more. I guess maybe because there wasn't really anything to do during the day time like Costa Rica. I spent my time at the Hard Rock pool.

Also you should always negotiate with your taxi before you get in. Most of the time they would take us places for like $5-$6. The van taxi from Trump wanted me to pay $15 to go to Habanos. I just waited for a yellow taxi and got them to take me for $6.

Someone else posted a raid earlier last week which could impacted the volume at various places you mentioned. Nevertheless, as long as you had and your buddies had a good time, is all that matters.

I should have posted the cab situation in my earlier posts but figured that everyone would default to uber vs local cabs. Uber is way cheaper compared to local cabs. I used to back and forth between hard rock and Hyatt for $2.

I think uber is better for quick trips where as local cabs are better for longer drives I. E. To the airport.

Me and my other group of friends that got there earlier had no service so we couldn't use uber when it was just that group together. Some other side notes that I forgot to add was that my other friends stayed at Hard rock and had to pay $100 fee to bring a girl up. When me and my friends went to the Hard rock pool, we met 2 backpacking girls from Israel and asked them if they wanted to hang out and they agreed. When we got to the pool a waitress came up to me and asked if those girls were with me and which room I stayed in. I just made up a room number and went to my table and wasn't bothered anymore. Also I met a girl (non working) from Guatemala and all she spoke was Spanish and I barely know how to speak Spanish so we were using Google translator to talk to each other back and forth. It was kinda funny and a hassle at the same time. I need to learn Spanish for when I go back but I think all you need to know when you go to Hababos is, "quantos" ,"cien", and "no'.

LOL.

I need some recommendations on where to eat. I'm staying at the Hilton Garden Inn just around the corner from the Crown Plaza.

Thanks

Thanks[/QUOTE]I highly recommend this place:

Gaucho's Calle Uruguay esquina Calle 48, Panama City.

I had a fantastic 20 oz tri-tip there.

There's a peruvian place and an argentinian steak place on your right. Another block on your left is a japanese place. There's also a teppanyaki place on your right, but I can't vouch for that. Will 2nd Gaucho's recommendation. Also, Beirut in front of the Marriott.

Thanks[/QUOTE]I live in PTY and I strongly recommend the app (android) "Degusta", they show you all the restaurants, rated and commented on, by type of kitchen if you want, and by $$$ if you need to know.

"Degusta" will also be of service in Chile, Columbia, Venezuela and Peru.

If you do not know the app, suggest you check it out, it is absolutely worth a look, (cost $0. 00).

It does blend with "Waze" to show you the way.

Might be available for apple.

Enjoy.

Mellow.
