Hi all,
First of all, thanks to everyone here for the very useful reports. I got $10 off the taxi from the airport and did an extensive walking tour the first afternoon in Panama City, but found nothing I really had to have. Saw Oasis and Life Girls, which I determined to check-out later along with Golden Time if I can. Plus, calling the taxi ride from the airport "exciting" is an understatement - these people all seem to drive without fear!! I felt lucky to be alive once we reached the hotel. Oddly, despite the insanity of the drivers, Panama city is filled with BMWs, Audis, and other expensive-looking cars, but the traffic is total anarchy, or it seems that way to your fearful correspondent.
Anyway, while on foot I did stop into a Mongolian BBQ called "Dragon Eye" which is at the El Cangrejo mini-mall, just down the street from the Milan where I'm staying. Had some excellent ceviche and I met a prince of a guy named Giovanni, who is a transplanted New Yorker and speaks perfect English. I noted an interesting-looking spa/bar called "Honey Time" was in the same mall, and determined to visit it later if I found nothing else.
Went to Habano's and everyone's right. It's excellent for people-watching, being situated across from the Marriot, and I was approached there by a relatively-hot girl but I resisted. Good thing I did. Had a Cuban cigar (excellent, slightly overpriced -- as was the beer, but you pay for the view!). Walked around a bit more, and then headed back for the Hotel Milan on foot.
I decided to stop along the way at "Honey Time." My first sight was Connie, a 25 year old Columbian girl with what looked like a set of artifically-enhanced knockers. WOW, what a rack on that girl... We talked (that is, I made a lame attempt at Spanish!) for a while and began negotiations for "toda la noche," but as I said my Spanish sucks. Anyway, who should step up and tap me on the shoulder but Giovanni (Dragon Eye is a couple doors down, and he was enjoying the evening sights as I was!). What a lifesaver that man is (and Dragon Eye beer is cold and cheap for the walk up the hill!). My man!!
Giovanni helped the negotiations along, they both prevented me from paying any bar-fine, and I went back to Milan alone with the promise that Connie would appear in 30 minutes. It took her about 45, but the front desk rang (Milan is confirmed as "chica friendly"!) saying she was here for me, so I said "send her up!" I know that folks here will be annoyed that I paid her asking price of $200, but I've never seen such wonderful hooters and I just *had* to have her if only to see if those things were really natural. (They are!) :)
Good thing, too. Connie was a total sweetheart, she did everything I wanted (I'm not interested in anal, but everything else!). She was great last night and great again this morning, and (I'm obviously an old man but) I'm STILL satisfied, she was that good. :) I think Connie earned the money (and I got her cellphone#, so she may even earn more from me!). I don't know what it is about Columbian girls (she's from Meddelin) and me, but Connie was simply fantastic, she sure knows what a guy wants. I love Panama!
