Can anyone tell me how many girls Idem has lately, and what is the look ranging from 1-10 and 10 being the best?
I had a great time during my 3 weeks in San Jose. I didn't get to Bar Idem this time, but did get to see a lot more of the local places that I hadn't seen before.
America West is a decent choice if you're flying from Phoenix, LV or LA. Just don't expect any food or free earphones unless you're up front. They've really brought down the price of the fare, with all other airlines now matching the $335 or so price they have.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Well, I've made numerous stops by New Fantasy and for some reason I've not found any ladies to my liking, oh well. Many have recommended this place, so perhaps I'm either too picky or my timing is off.
Found IDEM finally, didn't select any, but it's not too far from the Marlin Bar so I picked up a cab ride back.
Haven't seen if Wanda's place has re-opened, Jaimito have you heard anything?
I have mainly been hanging out at the Marlin Bar in the Hotel Del Rey, and it's been realy good. Tica's and Columbiana's, and have even spoken to a couple of Russians and a girld from Romania. Aside from the many bartenders who'd I'd like to proposition, the bar does have a fun environment. Surprised at how many American expats I've met who've been living down there, I envy you all.
Again, wishing all of you a Happy New Year.
Adios amigos,

Gents,
I'm going to San Jose next week. My first trip. I'm going solo, and only have reservations for the first night. I got a room at Kekoldi. I never heard of this place, any feedback? Then I'm going to look for another place. Is this a bad idea? I also want to go to Jaco, but have no reservations. I would like to stay at the Copacabana. Any feedback? Should I get a reservation before hand? Any feedback would be great.
I wanted to post this on the San Jose - 2004 Reports area but was unable to get in. I got a message that the thread was closed.
Anyway,
I saw a report that the owner of the famous Park Hotel was sick and was seeking a real sale of his hotel/bar.
That would be a real loss to Gringo tourists who enjoy the finer things in life. No more would the famous girly shows on Friday night be the same. No more would the owner take advantage of the girls in the show by making money off the admission and not paying the girls. No more would his rants and drunken rages against his bartenders exist.
In spite of his being a real SOB to the chicas, the place did have some nice and not so nice chicas hanging around there for the picking at 10.000 Colones per pop.
The place was rundown and not the kind of place your Mother wanted you to be seen in. It did have it's good parts however in that some very nice chicas could be seen there. Some only worked daytime and other came out at night .
Catch it while you can.
Wanda's Zona Blue - Wanda PMed me a week ago and said she's working on the reopening soon. She won't let me tell the date quite yet. Hopefully she'll post here, now that she's a member, or I'll post any info as soon as I get it.
Blanco - Never heard of that place. It is the high season, but hopefully you'll be able to find rooms. Any reason why not to check out the Presidente?
Blanco,
My seven year old Lonely Planet guide describes the Kekoldi as overpriced for the simple rooms. $31 in 1997. Occupied by a "younger" set. It is in Bario Amon down the street from the Zona Blue. If you go there take a cab at night always.
I will be in San Jose from Jan 7 to Jan 21 at the Presidente in room 802.
Give me a call if you are in town and want to hook up for a beer or two.

I am also tired of visiting New Fantasy and not finding
any girl of my liking.... I do not think I will visit that place
anymore.
On the other hand, I was at Wandas place just before
its closing and I had a very hard time choosing a chica.
At least 6 nice looking ones. Contrary to my instict I
followed Wandas recommendation Vanessa and I was
dissapointed.... It was mechanical and she was just not
the erotic high I normally enjoyed. I am sure the other
girls must be a better experiences.

New Fnatasy has gone downhill..Sorry but you are corrrect..Selection last month sucked.............mule69
Whats the story of the Park Hotel? Is the owner still alive? It used to be a good place to go. Have things changed?
New Fantasy was adequate, but not the special experience that I had earlier in the year. The manager before had been super friendly, very, very helpful. Heck, she even came into the room, and had a mini threesome with me for 5 minutes or so.
Let's not even talk about the experience of Wanda there.
Speaking of Wanda's place, and someone not liking Wanda's pick. I told her exactly what I wanted, and she picked Natalie for me. I was a little doubtful, since she was 19, and I usually do better with 23-33 year old chicas. However everything was great. Not a Wanda experience, but probably the best experience I've had with a 19 year old!
I would personally let Wanda know about any problems in performance. I'm sure that she wants everyone to have a really good experience.
Dear fellow mongers,
I would like to ask a few questions about Costa Rica and Latin America.
But first, I believe in reciprocation, so here is a little information from me about Costa Rica.
I managed to find a three-star hotel called the Gran Hotel, apparently it has a casino. Is it nice? I found it for $38 a night! It's big and yellow and looks Hispanic Victorian.
You can private message me any time and I'll give you the details.
Here is my second offering, my travel agent, this is one of the most valuable pieces of information I have, because I can search on the Internet for three hours, call her up and she has a price $30 less with no restrictions. Sometimes it's $50 one time it was $100 it depends on your destination but she only does international travel. Also the tickets are easily changed with little or no fee. Private message me for her information!
Hope this helps someone!
Happy Mongering,
Master Monger
My next message will include my questions!
Dear fellow mongers,
I'm ready to tackle the Spanish-language, I currently speak Chinese and Indonesian fluently.
I have some ideas and want to run them by my wise fellow mongers.
I was thinking of starting my vacation, for two to three months, depending how much I like Latin America, in Costa Rica.
I have looked into all of the necessary arrangements, I am discouraged although by the prices of hotels or extended-stay apartments. In Indonesia, in Bali, I can recommend the best Mongering hotel/apartment available it's incredible for only $250 a month. Daily maid service, refrigerator, beautiful, clean, safe, monger friendly. In China I had a beautiful apartment on the 10th floor of a beautiful building for about $250 a month. I am confident knowing the economic situation in Costa Rica and Latin America that I can find a similar price for the same Western-style quality. My question is where?
In China I could not drive but I had a motorcycle, in Indonesia I rented a car for about $230 a month. What are my options for independent transportation in Costa Rica? I have surfed the Internet and the cheapest I could come up with for any car rental is $1000 a month for a Nissan Sentra. Any other suggestions?
I have contemplated one option, buy a 1997 or so Japanese SUV and drive to Costa Rica, stopping along the way at some favorite monger hotspots. Also once I get my feet wet in Costa Rica I can go to Colombia, Panamá, and use the car for two to three months and then sell it for a small profit. And take a cruise home or maybe just fly.
This idea of course is excellent in theory, my ignorance lies in all of the negative aspects that I am not aware of.
I know you can never drive outside of the citys at night.
I also plan on having all of the windows in the car laminated with a special lamentation that makes them bullet proof and tinted, it will cost about $350 (Friend Price) but better safe than sorry.
Tell you the truth since I will be traveling on the major highway to Costa Rica and never traveling at night with bulletproof windows in a midsized SUV I'm not really afraid of terrorists or rebels or locals.
The scenario that frightens me the most are the immigration checkpoints I will be going through in Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua even though I'll be on the major highway are these super safe? And will I have any problems bringing my vehicle across the borders?
My real concern is if it would be possible for me to travel alone or if I would have to travel with someone else. I'm sure it would be safer not to be alone but maybe it's less obtrusive or suspicious when you're alone. Let me know :-)
Please help me with any information that you can, and everyone's advice is welcomed without criticism!
Thank you very much!
Happy Mongering,
Master Monger
