[QUOTE=AtxNextDoorGuy;2908072]I would buy bottled water to avoid the last kind of sickness on the travel.[/QUOTE]My Airbnb host who is Canadian, claims that Panama's water treatment systems were built by the USA and therefore quite safe to drink the tap water. But I'm still a bit hesitant to risk it while I'm anywhere south of the US border.
Can anyone share if there are freelancers out and about in Casco Viejo? I am staying down there next month but I understand that most of the action is further north in El Cangrejo / Obarrio / San Francisco. I have read here all about La Bocatorena. A short walk from Casco. And intend on checking that out.
[QUOTE=Exoticspirit;2907762]I should ask since it will be my first trip to Panama City -- is the tap water safe to drink (for those of us from Canada / USA)?[/QUOTE]I did not drink the tap water on my last trip to PC, but you want to be mindful of the ice. Without thinking, I asked for ice in all of my drinks at various restaurants and I indulged in the shaved ice treats that you see street vendors selling at various areas around town. I would assume that ice is made with tap water. I never got really sick, but I did have some abdominal discomfort that had me sitting on the toilet more than usual and whatever it was didn't clear up until I got an antibiotic from my doctor.

I did not see any freelancers. You can walk to bocatorena from there I would do it in the daytime not night. I never went in but passed by it walking I'm just older man and 12 min not going to get me started but if get back down there I would check it out. My favorite place was gold finger it's in el dorado cost 5 or 6 bucks to go by Uber I been there early part of day may just have one girl later in evening 4 or 5 to choose from it's 120 dollars for hour clean place everything covered. I've done panescorts and have went to their place and have had them come to my place never had an issue and I'm gringo. This year I stayed on balboa ave close to the Hilton like that area better there was a couple erotic massage places close by one was velvet spa nuru was 120 dollars and girls were cute gave good massage a HJ came with the massage if wanted more had to pay a little more but everything was available. I'm hoping to go back a few weeks next year.

Thanks. I will avoid all ice during my upcoming trip. I'm staying at an Airbnb so I can even boil my own water and put a supply in the fridge. Better to be safer than sorry.

I lived in Costa Rica and the water is fine. I lived in Argentina and the water is fine. I lived in México and Guatemala and the water is not fine. México, a lot of the pipes are clay or similar, are too close to the surface, get punctured, and contamination enters. I don't know the specifics of why Guatemala's water isn't potable. So when I lived in México and Guatemala, did I buy bottled water and selfishly harm the planet? No, I did not. I used a filter, or iodine tablets, or I simply boiled water if I was in an apartment. People who are worrying about the water should be worrying much, much more about the food (much of which is rinsed with. Wait for it. Water).
I recommend this product for travel:

I walked back at night from Bocatorena. Street girls stand in 2's and 3's under umbrellas in the rain at major intersections near the South end.
Everything is expensive in Casco Viejo. They were mids 30's 40's, heavy, chubby, plain-looking, not much different than the girls in Bocatorena, but wanted about $150 for ST. I passed.

If they are all fuglies, I'm going to bail too and will have to wait until the night time opportunities back at Global Cigar Habanos. I know there are online incall / outcall possibilities in Panama City but not at the ridiculous prices being quoted since I can get those back in Canada.
In most other Latin America destinations I've been to, the expectation is usually to shower before the fun once you get a girl into the room. Sometimes the shower is together (more fun) while other times the girl wants to shower separately. What's the shower patterns in Panama City when you bring a Global Cigars / Habanos girl back to your room? I would imagine it would be different at a place like La Bocatorena where session times are so short and they probably don't even have showers there.
From my past experience, when I met multiple chicas during my visit in panama city, and none of them took shower right (both incall / outcall) before the fun.

When I went to Gold Fingers, I showered with the girls before and after.
Currently in Panama City for the weekend. Hung out at Cafe Photo nee Habanos last night. Lots of good talent, mostly Colombianas. Starting price was typically $200, which is up from the $150 starting price I was getting when I was last here in September. However, they seemed to come back down to $150 fairly quickly whereas last September $150 was the starting and ending price. Cafe Photo is was also enforcing a $30 minimum if you're sitting at a table. There were a lot more large groups of guys than I've seen before.

[QUOTE=Exoticspirit;2916313]Could they go to $100 to $120 in your observation?[/QUOTE]I had no luck getting below $150, at least for the ones that were worth my time and effort. I confirmed the $30 per table minimum was in place Saturday. Sadly, Saturday I picked up a couple of would-be thieves from Medellin. Wanted to be paid up front. Told them no, but showed the money and agreed to place it in plain sight but out of the way. About 10 minutes later I noticed the money was gone and they started to get dressed saying were were done. OK, where's my money since we haven't had sex? Money was just for time spent together, they said. LOL. Called security and blocked the door. This was at the W. Security came and argued with them for almost 2 hours before the police showed up. Took 5 cops to drag one of the chicas, kicking and screaming (while in handcuffs) from the room. But I got all of my money back. They called themselves Joanna and Juliana. Joanna has short black hair, small tits, great ass. Juliana has long black hair, pretty good ass, big naturals. Both were about 1. 5 m in height. Sorry, no pictures. What was funny was that Juliana kept screaming at security and the cops that she wasn't a puta. We all go a good laugh out of that one.
