San Jose General Reports

[CultureShock]

Really? There is an upper class in CR but that's not what we are talking about here.

So the ones that have a "decent" job get $700 more and now their loaded? They already spent it.

The $700 figure sounds like entry-level semi-skilled labor. It's high when you compare it to the rest of Central America. The impact of everyone who works in Costa Ric getting an entire extra month of pay is staggering. No mater what the figure, it's all disposable income and it gets disposed of in a week or two. There are lines in every restaurant, and all the girls are off spending time with their tico boyfriends. Only the dregs will be left, and they won't want to be there.

The economy in Costa Rica is also pretty good when you exclude broke gringos with their failed development and tourism projects. There are 30 USA companies with operations in the free trade zone. Computer microchips and medical components have become the top exports. Intel Corporation is responsible for 7 percent of the GDP of Costa Rica. Not only did they build a billion dollar chip fabrication plant here, they outsourced their worldwide IT operations to Costa Rica. The list includes Boston Scientific, Proctor and Gamble, St. Jude Medical, and Glaxo Smith Kline.

Two months ago when the dollar started falling the Costa Rican Central Bank injected $130 million to prop up the dollar. The central bank interest rate here is 10. 25% and its less than 1 percent in the USA.

When the multinationals pay the monthly Christmas bonus the value of the dollar drops for a week of two. This is because of the massive influx of USA dollars to meet the payroll. There are many workers who earn a great deal more than $700 a month.

America, if you were wondering where your jobs went, then come visit those jobs in Costa Rica.

Hello fellow travelers. I will in San Jose on 8/30 and staying the Del el Rey. Is there any new spots to check out? Ex: massage parlors, regular night clubs where the Chica hangout at? I have been to San Jose since Jan 2008.

Here is a video of some of the girls at the Del Rey during Christmas last year.

Personally, I think there is a bump just after Thanksgiving and into the first week as the girls try to make some extra cash. The problem after that is the locals really do have a lot of money, and many of the girls totally disappear from the scene. In Costa Rica this anyone who is employed for the full year gets an extra month of pay in December. It's easy to predict the result.

Here is an article about timing the trip and the holidays.

I'd seen Carla in the Pirate Club a few times with her sister. Both have long thin bodies, and both have a look that tells you they're nasty in the sack. I dropped by Friday night to begin my tour of the city, and Monica walked by looking good. She told me she wanted to show me her BJ skills, so I decided to spend my hard earned 17k ($34) colones on a half an hour session.

In the room, Carla delivered every bit of her promised skills and more. I haven't had a blow job like that in a very long time. But the problem with getting a blowjob like that, and trying not to blow too early, is that once you start fucking, your nut is much harder to get.

I pounded Carla relentlessly, after about 40 minutes, the knock came to let us know our 30 minutes was up. I told them to extend it, and we continued. A few minutes later, I blew a huge load. I took a shower and headed downstairs, paid the hour rate, and hung out with Ken some more.

Here's the thing I really like about the Pirate Club, versus a lot of night spots on San Jose.

First, no other place has the class to let you finish and settle up when you go back downstairs. Also, they charged me the hour rate (24k) instead of grifting me for another half hour. Most places in town have you getting dressed, going back to the register, and starting the process all over again.

Second, none of the other places have a shower and clean facilities. Le Grillon, Nicole's, Monaco, or any other place of it's kind, none have showers, and none have any class. They view you as a chump. From the moment you walk in, they start trying to get as much money out of you as they can, while giving you the least amount of pleasure.

Carla. (Sorry for the tacky watermarks, but I've seen my pics around the net lately)

In December, the scene is very much alive, but Costa Ricans get their mandatory Christmas bonus. They call it the 13th month. Which means every tico in town is out trying to get rid of it as soon as he can. The night spots are bull of guys pissing money away like gringos.

Which means there's much more competition.

Hi guys.

Anyone can tell me how the scene is in san jose or in the playas during Christmas and new year?

All closed down or busy?

Thanks,

Raul

Hey guys,

What are your thoughts of mongering around January 10?

It is the only week I can get off!

Playa Hermosa just south of Jaco is a good spot to surf. Only about 5 kilometers from Jaco but more powerful, and cleaner water.

Thanks. Checked Playa Hermosa out on the web. That is what I am looking for. Great info.

Thanks. That makes my travel plans easy. Thinking of staying at the Hotel little Hvanah in San jose and Cocal in Jaco. Will I need to make reservations? Travel dates Aug 24-Sep 1.

I can't seem to find any airlines that do this. Does anyone know of any realtively inexpensive regional airlines?

Gracias!

CultureShock & Keg, Thanks for your opinions! Appears CR is no different than any other destination. Christmas / New Year is just not a good time for mongering

My first visit would like a little logistics advice. I arrive noon on Fri 8/24 return 1pm on Sat 9/1. After a long flight I thought I would stay in san Jose the first night. Then to Jaco for Sat and Sunday. Further to Manuel Antonio for a couple days to surf. Or is there a better surf spot before MA? Back to San Jose for Wed-Sat. Is this to much travelng?

Thanks

SLM,

You didn't specify if you had a budget for flying, which would reduce time traveling. I haven't been as far south along the coast to Manuel Antonio, but there are several good spots south of there, If you are down in that area already, I hear that Pavones is a good spot, but you would be better off flying back to San Jose from way down there. In the past I have been to the northern areas, Tamarindo and spots down along the Nicoya Peninsula.

Have a fun trip!

Actually, on FB, if you type in a common latin name; say "Yolanda" and San Jose, Costa Rica, you'll pull up chicas that way.

I have plenty of female friends in CR on Facebook. I was more curious to how he got P4P off there but he explained that. I never went looking for putas online as its easy for me to meet all kinds of women on the ground, but I never thought about trying to use Facebook for that so I was intrigued. As far as trying to meet random women on FB, that's cool if that works for you.
