It's not too unsafe, but you just have to take some precautions. It's safer than DR, others have said that reciently, we're just making more noise about it to see if we can get enough pressure on the CR government to act more.

Strikesfun

Sunday the BM is open. The selection is not always great during the day but always pretty good at night. 747 opens on Sunday. KL was not open a few Sundays ago. I know a girl that is working across the street from the Prez, at the Piano bar, her name is Mar*a. Look her up. I do like her.

Check IDEM and EROS also for Sunday evening action.

The Park Hotel bar is open during the day and quite late at night. The shows are Friday and Saturday nights and they start around 9pm. We always get there early, about 730 or 8p to make sure we get a ring side seat. Stay after the show, Bill gives away a free TShirt to who ever had the most fun during the show, he also give away two free BJs. You get a ticket for the show ($20), he draws the numbers from a glass about 20 minutes after the show and again about 15 minutes later, who ever matches, picks the girl he wants and away they go to Free BJ Heaven. They also have BJ Tuesday. You get a numbered sales receipt with each drink, each hour Bill draws a receipt number and whom ever has it, gets to pick his BJ girl. I won two of the aftershow BJs. I always tip the girls a few thousand clones anyways. I've had so much fun after that, that I tipped them a few thousand more when I left.

You asked how far from the Prez to BM, two blocks, you go out the front of the hotel, take a R, at the first street take a L, BM is at the top of the hill. Keep going past the BM and take the next L go to the next corner and your at KL. Out of the KL, take a L, one block your at the Morazon, keep going one more block and your back at the Prez. Short walk, lots of action. Take a taxi after dark. The Park Hotel by taxi only costs about 300Cs, we just give the guy 500c and we get there directly.

Just arcoss from the KL is Morazon Park, stay out of it late at night.

Hope that helps some

watched america's most wanted last night- concerning sexual abuse of **** girsl in cr
on each trip we are reminded on the immigration declaration that us citizens cannot enagage in sex with anyone under 18 in costa rica.
i thinks it's absolutely wrong for a sane man to abuse a young girl before the age of 16, and even many 16 year old are not yet mentally mature.
in costa rica, the real problem, as stated on amw last night is apathy-

we should be aware that while cr boasts of high literacy rates, most costricenses finish 6th grade and that's it ! many of the girls at the dr will confirm that. secondly by the time a girl is 16 she's probably pregnant by a deadbeat cr lad and since she has limited education, apathy from the government, and her parents are probably disadvantaged as well, she really has limited choices.

currently a stagering number of teenage mothers give birth in cr and the father is unnamed or unstated on the birth certificate. by the time americans meet them at age 16, 17, 18,etc , it's too late and they have few options for survival.

18 years old is the legal limit and the legal activities that we engage in in cr are a tremendous boon to the economy, a large number of families benefit from the relatively large incomes of the working girls, especially the ones at the dr. my responsibility as an american tourist is to be a gentleman in dealing with another human, and to be respectful.

the cr's governement's responsibility is to improve their educational incentives for their youth, provide more opportunities for their young citizens to prosper, reduce teenage pregancy, provide meaningful assistance to the large number of single-parent (teen) household and to recognize that this problem begins in 6th grade

Gentlemen,

Yes, the ladies do quote you in dollars, but I have found that they aren't good at exchange rates, and if you tell them that all you have is colones, they will quote you in colones. At times you can save a few bucks. Also, if you speak spanish fluently and can get into a good conversation with them, you will find they have a Costa Rican rate, which is essentially their minimum..

The hottest chicks, of course, those that the Americans tend to pay inflated prices, will probably hold out, since there is always another gringo who doesn't care about price, but if it isn't too busy, which after the fishermen get out of there and the normal tourist season slows down, the asking price can drop significantly, and the real price will appear.

Anyway, regardless, get your conversions going in your head for 60-70-80-90-100 dollars and start talking colones..chances are you can save 10 bucks without really trying. good luck

[Nick]

Frank,all of the girls quote you in dollars.Some gift shops will give you discount for dollars instead of colones or credit cards.Any business will take your dollars,but they give you change in colones.I normally go to a bank and get a 100.00 dollar bill converted to colones.Hotels usually give you a lower rate. Right now 100 dollars converts to about 35 to 37,000 colones.

Got two E-Mail addresses

The first one is for general information. The embassy site says the email address is .org , but when you use it, the address on the email itself is .com. So I'm sticking with the .com address

embassy@costarica-embassy.com

This address is for the Consular Information. This is the address that is on the email.

Getting mugged by the Cheetah is too close and too bold. There is trouble in paradise.

A few weeks ago the Tico Times had a big spread on the new chief of the Costa Rican Tourism Dept. The paper claimed the Tourism Dept was top heavy and ineffectual. New director pledged his support to increasing tourism and making the department very effective.

Found the Official Costa Rican Tourism Department web site.

When the above address is printed on the board the address is corrupted from what I have written, not sure why. Address shows c...., it's supposed to be /tourism-costaricacom/html not c... . I tried to rewrite the whole address again, and again the c... was put in, so hope you figure out what is needed to get the address right.

I followed their route to contact them. They have a mandatory registration form, here is the address that was displayed.

I AM IN SAN JOSE NOW, I LEFT THE BLUE MARLIN BAR LAST NIGHT HEADING FOR MY HOTEL THE PRESIDENTE. I WITNESSED THE AFTERMATH OF AN AMERICAN WHO GOT ROBBED AND MUGGED IN FRONT OF CHEETAH WHICH IS ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE HOTEL DEL RAY. I SPOKE WITH HIM, AND HE SAID SEVERAL LOCALS WATCHED AS HE CALLED FOR HELP. HE STATED THAT THEY FORCED HIM INTO AN ALLEYWAY BETWEEN TO BUILDINGS, AND DEMANDED HIS WALLET,MONEY, WATCH, AND GOLD CHAIN. WHEN THE POLICE ARRIVED, THEY TOLD HIM IN ORDER TO MAKE AN OFFICIAL REPORT, HE WOULD HAVE TO COME TO THERE HEADQUARTERS THE FOLLOWING MORNING WITH HIS PASSPORT, AND IT WOULD TAKE SEVERAL HOURS. THEY ALSO SAID THAT THE CHANCES OF RECOVERING ANYTHING ARE NONEXISTENT. IF ANYONE IS HERE, PLEASE POST, SAFETY IN NUMBERS I HOPE. *******, YOU MIGHT WANT TO MONITOR THE POSTS TO SEE IF CONDITIONS IMPROVE.

SHAMAS, CAN YOU PROVIDE A LINK TO THAT EMBASSY, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A REPORT AS WELL..... THANKS

[Shamas]

On my last visit to SJO over the memorial day weekend my very good friend and a most experienced SJO traveler warned me to take a taxi to any place I go after dark. We had dinner with our friend who now lives in San Pedro who also complained about the rapid rise in street crime, especially in the Gringo Gulch area. CRsex.com has a posting about how much more dangerous the gulch has gotten and how it appears that some of the local shop keepers are turning a blind eye to muggings and the young punks who are doing them.

I e-mailed the Costa Rican Embassy in D.C. and informed them that they had better put a stop to this type of street crime. It is not difficult to stop, but the government must exert more pressure on the police to ensure our basic safety.

I also informed them that they are not the only country in Central America that caters to my needs and that I will spend my money where I'm safe.

Guys if we all take just 5 minutes, look up the CR embassy in DC, shoot them a quick e-mail and let them know just how many of us are concerned, they will understand just how much they have to lose and how it will hurt their economy.

Time to get off my soap box and relax, e-mail today.

Thanks

Shamas

i was at the park on friday, may 17th, a week before you were.
but i'm sure it was the same show. a couple of us were kind of taken by surprise, the show is realy something for those guys who get into the spirit of it-
i dont want to give all the details and ruin the show for the first timers.
The Park is a trusty hotel and the girls all had great personalities and were really fun and down to earth, didn't sample any of them, i really liked the selection at the bm and kl best

i did meet a personable young blond-haired canadian fellow at the Park on the 17th, very knowledgable about the brothers,

I think the higher tax of $42 or so is for Costa Rica nationals and people who have stayed for a longer period (60 or 90 days).

I would not buy any stamps outside of the terminal. There are a number of scams with people reselling used or fake stamps.

If you compare the standard $17 tax to what the US charges you for every flight, it isn't much.

On a standard flight in the US that costs $300, about $30 is 9-11 tax, airport tax, and other stuff. Not counting the other sales taxes. I bought a $240 ticket to the East coast recently and the actual ticket price was $175.

There was some talk about the taxes being included in the tickets in CR. People wouldn't even notice, then.

Well I think the $40 departure tax is a crock of shit. Everybody trys to put it to the Rich Americans every way they can. If only we were rich it wouldn't matter. The last time I was there was May 2000 and the Dep. Tax then was $17. I think I will stick with Mexico where it cost me $2.00 to drive into Mexico and $19 pesos to drive into the U.S.

I guess they figure the ecologist who go to CR won't have a problem spending the $40 and the mongers will spend all their money on *****s and have to pawn their watch. This along with a lot of the other BS I think is enough to keep me away from there for good. It is a shame that CR had to get fucked up because it is a beautiful country with friendly people and fine Chicas.

Day 5, Monday, heading home day

Had breakfast with F****, traded notes and enjoyed our last chance to watch the pretty ladies parade by. I didn't blink.

Packed up, cleaned up, double checked the room and checked out just past 10am, door man lined up a cab. The maid was very helpful so I left her a 3000C tip.

I paid the departure tax out front. I was just a hour ahead of the five day change of $40. I paid $12 if I remember right. I had to pay another tax of $6 at the Continental check in post. The line for the initial check in was long and slow, they basically were keeping the baggage inspectors backed up with just one extra person.

Baggage security was very good, they looked through the bags much better than in the states. I still had the screening with my carry on baggage which was just like in the states.

I had an hour to kill. We departed on time and the flight was AOK.

Reentry to US was simple and painless. I did get a good looking at by the guy who checked my passport. We had to go through Houston security again, it was fast.

We were delayed in departing Houston and got home about 15 miinutes late. Of all the places I went, SDF has the slowest baggage delivery.

Nice to be back. I found an old and dear friend had died while I was gone. Looking for the Funeral this afternoon.

Day 4, (Sunday), fishing a bit differently

Had breakfast with nonone' at a different front row table. Too good. I hooked up with G'Tano around 10am and we went to the outdoor cafe at the Gran Hotel Costa Rica. Sipped some mud and traded notes. G'Tano is a great fan of Rio and was telling me all about it. We watched the world walk by. It stated to ran a little bit around 1130am so I headed back to the Pres. G'Tano went out walking, he walked to two places, #30 & #34 on Lumps map, they were open but nothing worth while to wet your line over. He then walked to 747. He told the owner he was leaving and the owner begged him to come back in half an hour as a pretty girl was coming in. I don't think he went back.

I pretty well have given up on M****, but I have kept looking. Nonone' called 'A' from the Park Hotel for me and set up a date for that night. 'A' is very pretty, speaks fair english and has a good body. She looks great undressed and is super nice. She, like S***** can suck and suck.

Use guys watched the Indy 500 and went out afterwards looking for action. Well, a few nibbles, no keepers. Had an early dinner with G'Tano at the Hacienda which is just around the corner. A wee bit pricy, but excellent food.

G'Tano went out to the BM afterwards, I went back and got ready for 'A'. She arrived right on time. As I said earlier, 'A' is very pretty, petite with good B cups, great figure and very much into her work. She is one of nonone' favorites.

Our session lasted over 2 hours, I was shot and totally worn to a frazzle. This girl sucked as good as S***** did, and is prettier. 'A' smiles when ever she can, know what I mean guys, and is open to many activities. Because of her petite size she was easy to play with. At my age I can only stand so much and 2 hours is taking it to an extreme. I ended the session to keep from having a heart attack. Believe me, I damn near opted for the heart attack. We showered together before and after our session, soap is nice. I escorted her out afterwards and made sure she got in a cab safely. I added her cab fare to her asking price and then tipped her another 3000Cs because she was so so good.

G'Tano and nonone' both turned in early as they had early departing flights. I talked to a girl in the hotel bar for a while, knew it was too good, her girl friends showed up a while later and they all split. Two Imperials finished me off.
