San Jose General Reports

[Sky Ryder]

In reference to the new election and its possible implications for life in The Gulch, we can only speculate. I tend to agree with people who believe that nothing of a substantive nature will transpire. The president and her administration have a lot bigger issues to deal with than closing down the Del Rey. Also, if she went after the Del Rey and other places she would be putting an enormous number of people out of work. Hotel workers, bartenders, waiters, technicians, etc. not to mention a lot of girls who depend on P4P to support themselves, their children and mothers.

On the other hand, local governments have very recently shut down famous venues like Help Disco in Rio and the Riviera Club in Barcelona and it could happen here, too. So, it can and does happen! Chinchilla has also specifically singled out the Del Rey I've heard. If any actions can be taken to PREVENT this from happening it would be wise to enact them now and be proactive.

Paddy, it seems interesting that you choose both of those venues closing to illustrate you point, since my "fun times" where negatively impacted on each occasion. The Riv in Barcelona was a great place, but the closing of Help was a little like a death in the family......lol The one thing I am sure of, it a rare, enlightened gov't official that will look at the economic impact before taking action in this arena, let's hope it happens in this case!

I am wondering how much money we pump( seem like a good word to use ) into San Jose; Airport and hotel taxes, food, taxis, site seeing, alcohol and stuff we take back home for friends and family. And thats just from our trips, howabout the thousands of dollars each day that the girl puts into the system. We are very important people and Mrs. Pres. would be ill advised to screw ( seems like a good word to use too) with us.

Would a phone (with minutes) that I purchased in Panama in November work in CR?

Also, I posted details on the Panama site about an unbelieveable Columbiana, who really earned her keep when I was with her a couple months ago. If anyone has a "go to" girl that they'd recommend in SJ, please send me a private message. I'll be there Wed. through Sun. this week.

had a great trip mid december – mid january.

hung out in san josé for a week, then off to the beach for xmas and new years
.
tried out a couple mps: masajes oasis, veronica massge terapeuta profesional, new fantasy, calle 6, hostel marruecos, idem, relax to name a few; the del ray, key largo, sportsman’s; was so occupied i did not have a moment to step into havana cigar bar (prices are high and girls have not been as good as in the past).

i found the prices to be the same if not a little cheaper. the most i paid for a del ray or key largo session was 20 mil. i even paid 15 mil for an afternoon session out of the del ray. all the girls from the mp’s were willing to come back to the hotel for 15 – 20 mil. for 1.5 – 3 hours session’s. this was true the week before xmas and the week after new years. look for pics in photo section

had a few great meals at hotel la amistad and restaurante lamma fortune and the friday / saturday night buffet at the colonial is a great deal: free if your playing at the tables or slots and get a ticket.

i had taken the bus out of coco cola last november and it worked well so i thought i’d give it another try. i arrived at coca cola at 5:45 am to find the bus already loading and a line that i was now at the end of. needless to say the bus; people standing and sitting in the aisles left without me and three other chica’s (american & english) at 6. after a brief conversation i got on the phone and called a friend who has a van / taxi (he works the airport and is available for trips to jaco /puntarenas etc. pm me for contact info) he showed up 20 min’s later and we were off to puntarenas, we made a stop for gas and coffee and were on the same boat as the bus that had left without us. i had called a friend at the beach during the ride and he hooked me up with another taxi who met us at the ferry and helped carry the bags. after stopping to shop for groceries we arrived 45 min’s ahead of the bus, merry xmas.

i returned to san jose after the new years via the new high way (it was only opened to orintina) but what a fast ride ( taking bets as to how long it will take to totally litter the sides of the highway and when the first pot hole will appear). i like the ride up and over the mountain from orintina and when the buses & trucks start to use the new autopista i will consider using the old route’s as well as the new, less buses and trucks means a faster / safer trip; especially at night.

the new president has her hands full with structurally obsolete infrastructures, attacking new jobs in this global recession, crime on the streets as well as in the governmental offices, drugs and i for one will not waste my or anyone’s time speculating as to when she will shut down the trade. or why a guy in his 80’s is trying to sell his pink hotel / bar / casino. i will and have bought future plane tickets for 2010 thru november and i am looking for that affordable ticket for xmas / new years but so far they want $1100.00 +/- and pricing like that and $100.00 punta’s will do more to shut me out & shut down the cr / san jose trade then laura ever will.

"with a quarter and more of the tourist trade coming from our adventures, and desires"

fuddzie,there are drugs and professional help that can help you get over this delusion / misinformation.

pura vida.

Good points, Fuddzie....is this election why the HDR has reportedly been on the selling block for the past several years? I would imagine when the economy was booming was their best opportunity to sell. Any new owner would have to spend mucho dinero as all the rooms are showing the wear, tear and DNA stains. However, the newly elected Pres is the one responsible for shutting down gambling in the early am hours. All that did was eliminate income for city workers. It didn't impact prostitution.

Who knows what's going to happen..to be sure sex ain't going anywhere regardless of who does what. I believe the new pres is a psychologist, and as a mental health professional myself, I can appreciate where she is coming from why she wants to do away with our sport. It's difficult for me to disagree with her reasoning. On the other hand, there needs to be other choices for the woman than dealing with us mongers. We do show care and concern. We do respect the woman, city and country. Her job will be to show the woman a better life than what we have to provide them. Until that time, we will continue to be a good employer. Otherwise if she takes our license to hunt, crime and abuse and drugs will rule as never before. We do have a positive role to play for the well being of Costa Rica

with a quarter and more of the tourist trade coming from our adventures, and desires; i don't believe she is going to change anything except close the mp's and strip clubs. my guess is thst establishments like the dr and sl, are self controlled for ****d and drug trafficing woman.
with this all said, i'm not worried. as a matter of fact, i would expect additional placed like the dr and sl to pop up

but how do you think others more "connected" with the costa rican sex trade than you are dealing with the possibility that your predictions will come true!

these three sizable groups of people may not be in the your "don't worry, be happy" mode of thinking regarding the election of the new president and are deeply concerned about the possibility that closure of all/part of the costa rican sex trade will affect them adversely!

to be sure, the "outlawing" of mps and strip clubs is eliminating the affordability/convenience of sex that most "users" have become accustomed to(and, for a good many ex-pats, especially the single males, imo, the affordability/convenience of sex played a significant role in their decision to move to costa rica to begin with!) and is their "worse nightmare"! to whit:

group i-the gringo ex-pats(many being pensioners/retirees) who live on a limited budget or fixed income and can not afford to spend the $60. 00+/hour for a "roll in the hay" with an sp from the bmb, kl and sl(the "gringo bars", so to speak)! add to this, if they have no choice(assuming the mps and strip clubs are closed down) but to go to the gringo bars to seek sex; they don't live in a "gringo gulch" hotel so they would have the added expense of using a local "hot sheet"(st) hotel!

group ii-the sex workers themselves who work in mps and strip clubs who would lose their livelyhood and (because of looks, age, competition, "working" hour requirements, etc.), have very little chance of moving into the gringo bar "arena" to resume "making a living"! in addition, imo, but i'm fairly certain of this, the sp populations of the mps combined with the strip bars far exceeds those of the gringo bars!

lastly, group iii-the tico men themslves, who can, imo, for the most part, barely afford the reduced tico pricing of either/or of the mps and the strip bars as, for most, buying "company" at a gringo bar, is even beyond a "pipe dream"!

so fuddzie, some groups are worried as, if the mps and/or the strip bars are closed down, their quality of life will "take a direct hit"!

[Fuddzie]

when does she take over power? has she specifically stated that she's going to address prostitution or more to the point, aim to close the hdr down?

i've read alot of her statements made over the past 10 yrs. as a mental health professional, she is very concerned about child prostitution and families in crisis. she is not for gay marriage or abortion, not unlike many in the us. she won with 47 percent of the vote because people feel she is best for the economic problems costa rica is having. as we know, politicians don't like to be caught with their pants down, especially republicians, which we could lable her as. with a quarter and more of the tourist trade coming from our adventures, and desires; i don't believe she is going to change anything except close the mp's and strip clubs. my guess is thst establishments like the dr and sl, are self controlled for ****d and drug trafficing woman.

[Adventur]

Does anyone know of any university's/education centers that are close enough to monger locations yet isolated enough to where the students or school officials would not notice.

Thanks

Try Hongkong (close to shenzhen) or Singapore.

Or San Diego? Haha.

Good idea and good luck!

[Nixonbd]

With the Ticos electing a feminist for President, what will be the repercussions on the scene down there?

Does anyone know of any university's/education centers that are close enough to monger locations yet isolated enough to where the students or school officials would not notice. I have been given the opportunity to set up a summer study abroad program in economics. My employer will pay for me to take two weeks for exploratory set up and then it would be a summer program every year after that. This seems like a great opportunity to combine both work and pleasure while my trip cost and stay would be paid for by my employer. Any information on education centers in San Jose or any of the other monger locations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I just came back from San Jose and I had a great time, mainly by doing my homework. I have a lot of thanks to Jackson and the members of this website.

I would love to monger more, but this sorry city I live in (Las Vegas) doesn't have a lot of nonstop destinations and most of the people here are trapped behind slot machines.
It takes me 2 flights (10 hours) each way, when I could get there in 4 hours non-stop. I would travel more on my days off, but 20 hours in travelling time?

I booked through expedia ($600) for three nights. I flew with AA and I stayed at the Hotel Parque Del Lago (HPDL). I know, its not P-central. I stayed there, partly to report back what they have to offer and not offer.

I was actually intrigued when I saw they were offering in-room massages. I went to the Philippines one time and my hotel had in-room service as well as a place in the hotel to go. Needless to say, 80% of my mongering was in my room, the other 20 was around the city. I never went to the place inside of the hotel. It was $20 for full service, btw.

As it turns out, their (HPDL) service is on the up and up. It cost me $50 for a deep tissue massage-which was great. I got the feeling it was going to be legit when I read their sign at the F/D that said, it will cost you $150 to bring in a chica. This is if you don't register her at check-in.

HPDL is my kind of hotel. I like hotels like Marriotts and Hiltons when I travel. I don't care if they are not chica friendly, I like to be comfortable at the end of the day.
Besides, I am in my late 40's and I am not trying to conquer (the ladies) in any city I visit.

I read the report on MP's and I saw that the "Oasis" was close by. I decided to take a look at the place and area, the day before. Its easy to get to from the hotel. Only about 4 blocks east on Paseo Colon (at the corner is a KFC) turn at the kfc,one block north!

Thanks to the member who stated that the Oasis is directly across the street from the Machu Picchu Restaurant. When I got to the area, there are no signs of Oasis.
I saw this guy who looked like the "Gatekeeper" and figured that must be the place. The "hood" looked okay and it is within walking distance, so I was set.

I like to go to MP's early. My theory is that, 1. she is fresh. 2. She is not in a bad mood from a bad customer. So, I went about 11am. When I got there, a woman began to explain the prices and times. She started to call for the other girls (4 were there) but I told her it was okay. I looked over and saw exactly who I wanted-Faviola. (damn).

Faviola-young (maybe 21) tica. She looked exactly like a girl I had in the Dominican. Both wore a body hugging black dress, model body (symmetrical) I don't like fat asses or big hips, I like them slim. Both women have long black hair and with their white skin against their black dresses-forget about it.

I did the 1/2 hour for 12k colons (about $25). In vegas terms, that's a bargain. Faviola was all GFE. I loved the way she would say "mi amor" when she asked me questions. Not to brag, but I have did (all I want to do), so the things that interest me at my age are threesome's or 9's and 10's if it is solo. When I go back, I will do a 3 some.

I almost nutted just watching her strip. I feel I have got to get a 9/10 if going solo, so that if she turns out to be a dud, I can just look at her beauty and get a pop. In the end, I did mish and she kept grabbing my ass to pull me deeper? I don't know, but we both enjoyed it.

I speak fluent spanish, but I try to do things that a member could do if he didn't speak the language. I don't try to tell anyone what to do or not do. I write about my experience and let members decide what can help them in their journeys. For me, I just want to experience the women (natives) in each country. I want to get in and get out. I don't want to go someplace that I have to worry about my safety.

There is a bank across the street from HPDL, Bank of Costa Rica, you can pay your exit tax and they gave an exchange rate of c556 compared to the hotels' c545. There are alot of restaurants nearby, the hotel has complimentary breakfast (full) and free wifi in your room.

I am a senior member on the vegas boards, if you have any questions, just let me know.
