San Jose - 2003 Reports

[Hit n Run]

What's the latest on pricing at El Presidente? Is it still easy to
get the TSM $45 rate? Any change on bringing more than one
girl up at a time? Can you bring up 2 at a time at Morazon?

I've never been to Panama and was wondering if anyone is doing a 1 or 2 day trip from CR to the Canal zone during the last two weeks of May? OR better yet is worth going?

Being stupid in a strip club.

Not too bright. No matter where you are, you will get taken big by giving them your credit card. Especially if you're stupid and drunk.

During my stupider days, I used an AMEX card in a strip bar in San Jose. They did not want to take it. I believe because AMEX usually sides on the cardholders behalf. After I told them, I had no other way of paying, they finally "figured" it out. Only $35, though.

Ace,

You don't seem to get the whole picture. Costa Rica taxes are usually NOT added into the ticket. US taxes are.

Here's the fare for my last Costa Rica trip in April:

Base ticket cost: $422.

US Customs tax: $5. US immigration Fee: $7. US International Transportation tax: $26.80. US APHIS User Fee $3.10. Security Service Fee $7.50. Costa Rica $6.00. Passenger Facility Charge $4.50.

$59 in taxes, of which $6 is for Costa Rica, I think.

So which is fairer, $32 total in CR taxes, or $53 in US taxes?

The customer pays for the nice airport, security, runway and such. Right now Costa Rica charges it separately. If they didn't, you probably wouldn't be complaining.

CR is working on including this fee in the base ticket amount. This last time I went to Nicaragua and returned two days before my outbound trip. I paid only $2 at the airport!

Also noted in A. M. Costa Rica, there is an increase in the tourist exit tax of over 50 percent. Starting soon expect to pay $26 tax to just to leave the country. What do you get for your $26? Nothing.
That stinks.

An interesting arcticle in today's A.M. Costa Rica regarding San José strip clubs and a possible scale of fraud. Please be aware.

To Sal & anyone else,

I'll be in CR again during the last two weeks of May. Not staying at the President, but can hook up for breakfast watch, or something. Also, planning to catch the Park show on Friday or Saturday. Let me know what time for breakfast.
Thanks.

Sal:

New Fantasy is about four blocks from Presidente> It takes about seven minutes to walk. They are open 9-9. Until it becomes dark, it is absolutely ok to walk. Highly recommended.

Thanks, Jaimito,

For info on New Fantasy. I asked a while back and didn't get answer. I'll be in CR during the last two weeks in May and hope to check it out.

[Jaimito Cartero]

Sal - New Fantasy Massage - walking.

Well, it's not too far. I'd guess 7 or 8 blocks. I wouldn't have a problem walking there during the day. The area around the Parque Morazon is a bit nasty at night, so I wouldn't walk then.

Taxi fare should be 220-300 colones. Possibly more late at night.

You can check out Lumps map. New Fantasy Massage is #55 on the map.

I think New Fantasy hours are 9am-9pm. During the week. Wanda works 12-9. Friday-Saturday, all hours.

Don Gordo also has a "walking tour" of San Jose. I don't think he has New Fantasy in it, since it's relatively new. Also links to New Fantasy, plus other cool pictures. No picture of Wanda yet.

Hey Guys
Sorry to ask such a stupid question but, where is the New Fantasy located in regards to the Presidente Hotel. Is it within walking distance or will I need a taxi?
Thanks

Vitamin V is same priced if you buy in US, Mexico, Canada or in Costa Rica. Anyone offering cheaper is selling fake ones. For 100 mg tabs. ( you need only 50 mg, half tab, unless you are deader than dead) it costs about 12-20 US dollars per tab. So it is $10 per 4-10 hours. I have been able to get one night and next morning worth of juice from 50 mg tab. You have to see for yourself. Please don't overdo it and NO No No Vitamin V if you are taking Nitrates fro heart. Good luck.

New Fantasy - Danny - various reports

I saw Danny (Danielle) when I took a buddy to see Wanda. I didn't feel up to another session, but the manager (Arriana/Adriana?) talked me into a half hour with Danny.

She was fairly decent, but didn't seem to be too focused in my opinion. Her body was a bit better than Wandas, but she was still a few notches below in overall service.

Wanda was totally incredible, I have to say again. Overall, I'd rate her a 7 on looks, but a 9.8 on attitude and service.

Gentleman, before you die, you must see and experience Wanda. I almost chose someone else because Wanda was busy, but remembered Obi-Won Kenobi's advice, "Wait for Wanda". Maybe it was really DG, though!

My balls were still throbbing the next morning after Wanda. Talk about nice torture!

Everyone at New Fantasy seemed to be really friendly, and I felt really comfortable there. It's been many years since I've been to Arte Sauna (old location, actually), but New Fantasy was far better.

The Park was totally dead in the afternoon. Anna was nice (and has hair on her pussy!). I'd rate her a 6 1/2 on looks, and a 7 on service. The Park rooms are pretty rough though. A tiny bit better than Club 40 (which is pretty bad).

Speaking of the guy complaining about Idem. I saw Karla there 6 weeks ago, and I thought the room I was in (upstairs, in middle) was decent. It was better than the one I had in Eros across the street.

I'd say the worst ones I've been in are Molino Rojo and Club 40. These are still better than some I've been to in Mexico, though.

I've never heard of mongers staying at the Balmoral. I would assume there's a reason for this. I've stayed there a long time ago, and it was nothing special. I did not attempt to bring guests there.

For the person looking at the La Cuesta pension. The pricing seems good, but I would not depend on bringing any girls there. If the place is not close to the Del Rey, then they may be very hesitant to go there.

If you're looking to go to only incall places, you'll obviously have no problems.

If you just want cheap places, you can find other pensions for even less ($10-$15). I stayed at one once, but it wasn't exactly nice.

Hotel Balmoral is right across from the El Presidante. Close to everything. I do not know rates or guest fee, if any. Looked fine from outside.

Bandy:

I was there week of April 6-13, 2003. At KL ,no more than five or six (not quality but numberwise) girls on three occsions. About 8-11PM. They were just not busy and I hated idea of having tp pay C1,000 colones for simply entering a bar.

For my sweetheart, money you give because you want to versus money demanded of you is two different things. Also no charge second night, so it comes to $75 per night. Very reasonable.
