Thursday

I landed in Panama via Miami in the early afternoon. I cleared immigration and customs quickly but the bus stop was difficult to find and the police weren't very helpful. I finally found it after walking outside of the airport a ways but the buses that were coming were crowded and not well marked, so I walked back and took a taxi. The driver said it was normally $25 but charged me $20. That was about what I was expecting so I paid it. It started raining so traffic got heavy and the ride took 40 minutes, but we finally got to the hostel I was staying at. The address wasn't clear so the driver had to call for directions, but we made it.

I was absent-minded and forgot to pack an umbrella, but the hostel staff directed me to a store nearby where I found one for $3.50. Panama uses US currency. There were a bunch of restaurants nearby so I stopped in a chicken wing place called Wing Zone. The wings were tiny and overpriced, but the meal filled me up enough. I headed back to the hostel and rested up until the evening.

I headed out around 8pm and walked about 7-8 blocks to Habanos. The place had changed a lot since I was last there. Only a few ladies were working at this time so I walked to a nearby Subway and got some more food. Habanos was still mostly empty when I returned but a new looker appeared that was very hot. I didn't want to session just yet so I decided to do more exploring.

I walked by Oasis but none of the lights were on. It looked deserted but I didn't look closely. I would later find out it looked empty inside and it had probably been closed for some time. Another place I had been to called Capri Bar (not Capri off Via Espana) that was on one of the higher floors was also long gone and appeared to be another space.

There was a new place on the ground floor to the left of Oasis called New Fantasy, but it was also closed. I never got the full info on this place, but whatever it was it didn't open until late, as in 12am or later.

I considered checking out the Veneto Casino, but decided to go budget instead. I found a cab to bring me to Capri off Espana. The ride was $4 and cover was $3.

The lineup of ladies seemed smaller than I remembered. I only saw around 10 or so at first with a few more that appeared later. I was only attracted to two of them, but those two were very cute.

Both of the ladies I was interested in were busy for a long time, but I finally got a hold of Ruby, a Dominican. I bought her a $12 drink while we chatted. She didn't seem all that friendly, but friendly enough. Capri is a place that charges more for tourists than locals. I didn't get the locals price but the tourist price was $51 for 20 minutes. I might have had gone for a double session if she was more flirtatious, but she wasn't, so I settled for the rush job. Ruby had great tits and a nice small waist, but she was a little loose, but she got the job done.

By the time I finished with Ruby, it was already 11:45pm. There seemed to be far fewer people around, so maybe some of the ladies got off already. There weren't any normal cabs outside so I had to settle for an unmarked one that stays at the club. The charge was $5 for a ride back to the Marriot, next to Habanos.

There seemed to be over a 100 ladies at Habanos at midnight, many of them hot. I talked with a few of them, a Cuban and some Colombians, but I was pacing myself and didn't take any. I wanted to check out Veneto so I walked there next. I'm not sure how safe that walk is, but I never had problems in this area.

New Fantasy was open and a guy was out front. I walked up but he said there wouldn't be any ladies until 3am. I asked how late they were open and he said 6am. I was curious but never came back to find out what would be available for a few hours.

Veneto was also strong at 12:45am. There were probably as many ladies as Habanos but they were spread throughout the casino. I'd probably give Habanos an edge for lookers, but the lighting and setting was nicer at Veneto.

Manolos across the street was still open so I grabbed some food before walking back to the hostel.

Ruby photos and the Friday chapter coming soon.

Was the sex covered? DFK?

I assume BBBJ is standard.

There are some places in the world where DFK and BBBJ are common among sex workers, but Panama is not one of them. One can probably negotiate for those things with some of the freelancers, but it's not the norm.

I've been able to negotiate for BBBJ and DFK. But neither is really first rate -- she breaks off DFK early and haven't found CIM with the couple of Habanos girls I've been with.

I don't think Panama is a destination per se, but I do end up there for business.

You are correct Jjgettis, even if you negotiate these things, there is a good chance it will not meet your expectations. With freelancers, there wouldn't be anyone you can complain to and with others, I doubt the complaints would get you anyone and possibly even put you at some kind of risk.

Panama is not a country to visit for quality P4P, as long as one realizes that, a good time can still be had.

Friday

In the afternoon I set out for some intel gathering, first stop Hawaii Center. I had an old address from before 2008, so I initially went to the wrong location, but found it after wandering about for 15 minutes. The current location is on Justo Arosemena between Calle 32 Este and Calle 33 Este. The street signs for Justo Arosemena display Avenida B Sur with Justo Arosemena in smaller letters underneath. The establishment is in a big yellow building next to metro station Loteria. It's also close to the Roma Plaza Hotel.

The interior decor is futuristic and bizarre, far different than when I visited long ago. Laser disco lighting is abundant and distracted, the name Hawaii Center is hardly fitting. At 5pm, only 4 medicore looking ladies were available. Price was $60 for the hour which was the same as before. I wasn't horny enough for any of these ladies. I asked about their operating hours before I left, 9am-3am. I forgot to note if they were still open Sunday, but I believe so.

I flagged a cab and headed to via Argentina and Via Espana to check on the status of the places in the Galeria Alvear. As Zoner reported in the Acuarius topic, that place is now a martial arts studio. River Club still had a sign, but it looked closed. I intended to check it out after heading into Relax Oriental or later in the trip, but I didn't.

Relax Oriental was open at 6:30pm but only had two ladies at the time, a third was running an errand. Only one of the ladies would have been acceptable with a mediocre face and body, but I wasn't desperate. The guy running the place said they were open 10am-2am Mon-Sat. Cost was $60, I forget the amount of time but probably an hour.

I was still tired from traveling so I headed back for rest, dinner, and some hanging out at the hostel.

My first stop in the evening was Habanos. Friday and Saturday nights are not the best in Panama as many of the ladies take it off for social reasons but there were still a decent 50 plus at 10pm, some of them were hot.

I walked to the Veneto Casino but the selection was muted, none of the ladies stood out at the time.

I caught a cab ride to Super 99 in El Dorado for $4 to avoid the taxi surcharge at Golden Time. All the Plaza Mirage lights were off but GT was open at 11pm. Only a dozen or so ladies were in the lineup but a few were busy. I wasn't very impressed with the selection. My top choice was older but nicely curved, she got picked by the next guy that came in so I chose to leave after that. I was quoted the price of $90 for the hour for my next visit and was told they were open 7:30pm to 4am seven days a week.

I walked over to Miami Club. They have also seen better days. Less than 10 ladies were working and none were that impressive. I met a Panamanian named Shakira that was pretty but she was very bottom heavy. Two others seemed acceptable but they were busy. The drinks for the ladies here are $15. A couple of them asked but I declined.

My cab back to Habanos was $2. It didn't take long for me to decide on Veronica from Cali after drinking a beer with her. She was the one I spotted the first night that I thought was very hot. Veronica quoted $150 but came down to $120. We walked to the short time hotel around the corner. The hour was $25. Veronica's incredible tits were not as impressive because of a bad boob job, but the rest of her figure was still amazing. The sex was good by Panama standards and it was with a stunner, so I was happy.

I was hungry so I walked over to the nearby 24hr Nico's restaurant, but nothing looked appetizing. Instead I got a wrap with some doritos and a soda at the Rey supermarket then headed back to the hostel to crash.

Veronica photos and the Saturday chapter coming soon.
