Was in Panama for the first time this last week of july 2004. Would like to thank all the guys that have contributed with the various reports which saved me time and money while trying to chase the women.
I visited the Golden Time and Oasis massage sites which I though had 4-5 stunners and the rest okay. My taxi cab driver also took me to a small massage place that I can't remember if it even had a name that had 7-8 local girls, 1 was good looking, rest were at best average. I thougt it was interesting that I actually had better luck with meeting girls at the casinos than at the disco techs.
Being a Asian horn dog, I did get quite a few curious stares, could it be they do not see lots of Asian single guys. I found that being Asian might be a disadvantage in chasing non-professionals. I even had a girl turn me down who I know was looking for a date, she hunted down another guy later. I found this rather funny for the longest time, being turned down, by a pro.
All in all, my experience was good, not great compared to SE Asia, where I can't beat the women off fast enough. Was my experience with the non-pros due to the fact I am Asian? Or was it because of my lack of spanish? I am going to go back, this time armed with 4 month of learning spanish.
I want to go visit this Columbian lady who runs the Fritz bar, they just open and we got quite friendly with each other.
Man are those Latin ladies great looking, can't wait to go back for the second helping.

I can't see being Asian as a disadvantage in Panama. Many asians particularly the chinese were in Panama building the canal. When the project was complete many stayed on. You would be amazed by the Chinese population in Panama. There are plenty of Panamians with a mixed Panamian/Chinese heritage and what an awesome combination as far as women goes. Chinese are very entrepreneurial and you will find lots of furniture stores, electronics stores etc owned by Chinese descendents of the canal builders. There are even Mandarian schools in PC. I can't see being oriental as a handicap, only if the girls think you are living on a Panamian salary/budget.
As for Golden Time I was there for the first time last week. I tended to frequent Relax Oriental in the Alvecar Plaza on Via Argentina where the massages were good but the rest of the service somewhat lacking. I shyed away from Golden Time as it was a little bit of a hike from downtown but boy was it worth the trip. I have never experienced decision gridlock like I did in that place. 25 gorgeous Colombianas parading by with out of sequence numbers; talk about staining my memory when it came time to choose one. All were beautiful so I paid attention to how each responded as she was introduced to me. I picked the one not with the biggest jugs but with the warmest greeting. What a great choice #28, Manuela, a would be journalist. I hope I am featured in her memoirs. It was an unhurried experience complete with BBBJ. A real sweetie who wanted to sit around and talk after the main event. This place is high on my list of tourist attractions in PC.
