Sex show in public in Panama

So I don’t have anything t do with the sex industry in Panama, so imagine my surprise yesterday when the private taxi guy drops us all off a bit out of the way in Calidonia because it was raining cats & dog & I see a sex show in public in Panama. I’m rushing underneath the awning … Read more

Acadeco & Terminales Panama – David

They don’t know how to apologize
