Learning Spanish in Peru!
[QUOTE=Grenada 79]Hows it goin guys. I am not a frequent poster on this forum...or many for that matter, but have found these to be enormously helpful in all my travels, and consult them constantly. I post only when I have what I think is helpful.
That said, I have some questions. I am planning a 4-6 week stay in a Latin American country to study spanish. I will, no doubt, end up back in Costa Rica, unless I come across some amazing info before i finalize plans. I was wondering if anyone has been to Santa Ana. I have thte choice to study in either Santa Ana or San Jose. I enjoy San Jose as a city, which probably sounds odd compared to other oppinions posted here about this city, but Santa Ana might be a better option. I do however, need to meet plenty of beautiful women, need bars, discos, and probably more ,onger specific locations, and I will try to rent an apartment for the alloted time. If anyone has any info about the availability of these in Santa Ana it would be greatly appreciated. I know the cities are close, but ten miles is not an ideal bus travel several times a day, and I will not have access to a car. Any other countries or institutes in ideal for spanish study would also help.
Thanks in advance, and I will show my appreciation in reports and photos of my time in the selected location.[/QUOTE]
Well if you want to study spanish, it is a well known fact that Peru speaks the purest form. The two best spanish schools in Lima are ICPNA and EL SOL.
I can get you the websites if interested. Both schools are in Miraflores , the best area of the city and it goes without saying the mongering is way better here.If you choose ICPNA you will be surrounded with literally hundreds of young coeds looking to pratice english with you. As a student you will have a pass to the student lounge and all the beautiful free pussy you can handle.
Try it you will never leave!!!!!!!!!!!

Review of Guanacaste region
So I went to Costa Rica with the goal of enjoying the great outdoors and maybe getting some action. At least I got to enjoy the outdoors. Didn't get any action, but didn't try all that hard, either.
My first stop was Tamarindo, a once quaint fishing town now home to Burger King and Pizza Huts. The booming tourist trade has encouraged Colombian and Dominican hookers to set up shop there, and they routinely ask $100 a pop. And from what I hear, gringos young and old alike routinely pay it.
Reckon I was too cheap. Knowing the cost of living down there, I'd feel silly doling out that kind of cash for an hour's worth of sex, especially when you can get a good massage and head in NYC for not much more, if any more.
During my travels, I also spent a night in Santa Cruz, where a hotel employee told me he could score me a chick for $50. (This, after his initial price of $150 for the woman. I was more interested in catching another bus.)
Locals tell me they pay maybe $10 for sex at a *****house in Santa Cruz, one right by the college, though an older Canadian guy told me the lady there wanted to charge him $50.
In Samara Beach, where the working girls seem largely confined to weekend nights, a guard told me there was a *****house named Mango outside town. Taxis could probably take you there.
I guess I was in this mood where I didn't feel like premediating the hell out of getting sex for money. If it happened, it happened. If not, no big dealio. For those prices, I can get it in NYC and keep my passport secure.
One night in Liberia, at the Kuru bar, I chatted up a morena dominicana about sex. She started asking $100 for an hour, citing that she worked in Tamarindo. I got her down to $30 for the hour before I congratulated her on her self-esteem and walked out.
One of my last nights in CR, I went drinking alone in a small town near Tamarindo and met up with a Nicaraguan dude I'd visited with on a bus. He set up a deal for this good-looking black Panamanian bartender chick, Donna, to meet me the beach the next day for two hours for $50. This one I had good lust for. But alas, she never showed.
Tried to score with local chicks for free, but they know the score. Don't get me wrong, I think there are great people in these towns, but they see a growing influx of Americans and Canadians spending money fairly freely. And a lot of time, they treat the locals all like servants anyway.
Be careful in Tamarindo. Talked to a Canadian dude whose drink got spiked with something. He woke up four hours later with empty pockets. When I got drunk, in what used to be the Hotel Kalifornia bar, those Colombian hookers seemed to be staring at us like Dobermans on point.
Be sure to do the canopy tour in Monteverde. It's a blast.
Locals tell me that you can go drinking in the smaller towns and have no need to pay for sex. Just be friendly and speak Spanish. Maybe dance salsa or something.
Peace out, Vaquero
