I think there may a good exchange at one of the on airport banks. However, stupidly changing money without knowing what a good exchange rate is just that. Stupid.

The one by the luggage carousel...

I there are no reports, there is usually a good reason for this. When I went a few years ago, the P4P scene was pathetic. Expensive and bad quality.

If you're so bothered about what other people...

You're kidding, right? Jackson has bent over backward making it easy to upload the correct sized pics. I think most six year olds these days can resize a pic to 640 x 480 or smaller. If you refuse to...

The Del Rey certainly has some nice chicas in it, but often quite over priced. The fee per chica you take to your room is still ridiculous. If you really want to find the hidden gems of Costa Rica,...

It's easy to get ripped off when you're traveling. In my 50 or so trips to SJO, I can't recall being ripped off. It's been a total of 20 years, though.

I have had a number of attempted rip offs...

As far as I know, this card is not valid for travel to Costa Rica. Only good for Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean. It's also only good for land and sea travel, not flying.

I think the restaurant is called Balcon de Europa. I've been eating there since it was around the corner, closer to Chelles. It is a decent place, the staff is generally friendly, and the prices are...

The girls aren't employee's, I think they just check ID's to make sure they're of legal age.

If she has a visa to the US, it means she's probably gone before. If you wish to pay her a lot, or pay...

Jet Fuel A (a type of kerosene) does not fluctuate as much as standard gasoline prices. According to this government report, it was only $1.67 per gallon in January of this year.
...

Other than some US taxes, (which would amount for $10-$20 per ticket, 9-11 fees, etc) it's all because of market forces. The price does fluctuate a bit throughout the year. If you buy at high season,...

I'm in SJO for a few days, and bought a Tico Times yesteday. I noticed a for sale ad for Kamur, just half a million, plus change. Perhaps it's been posted here before. Not that I'd ever invest in...

I would guess that it's actually Xiomara. I've never run into many women with names beginning with an X, but I've seen plenty here!

I've been there before with some Costa Rican buddies. I think the night I went you got two drinks for about $8. This was 2 years ago, I think.

It was interesting, but I had no desire to pull any...

I've done this sometimes with mixed results. If they're really bitches, I will just shut it down right then, and then kick them out or leave. I've had this happen at some cheap places (Molino Rojo),...

Just be careful if you volunteer to go on stage. Cough.

I don't really differentiate between drug addicts and other panhandlers. The frail old lady was probably put out there by someone. Whether a family member, or part of an organized group, it's still...

If you're handing out $1-$5 each time you pass them, then you're supporting that person, and perhaps their whole family. Or maybe buying their liquor, or buying drugs for their handlers.

Some of...

It could have also been an inside job. The first time I ever took a chica to the beach (1989), she mentioned during the trip that a "friend" of hers had wanted her to bring me some place so he could...

They have some little booths where you can do the private show. I think they have just a curtain that pulls across them.

And make sure to volunteer for the stage show. It's a lot of fun.

You haven't played in Vegas very much, have you? I see this way too frequently, and it drives me crazy. Most of the variants of Blackjack that I've seen in CR are a slightly different game. (Rummy,...

I've never gotten any girls to accept pesos. :)

I dislike any place that charges extra for a girl to come up. The Del Rey isn't even the worst, at $10 a head. I think the Holiday Inn charges...
