General Info

I am considering a trip to cr 7th ot 8th of Oct for 2 weeks. Looking for a wingman, if anyone is going to be there at that time, please let me know!

I don't know if you're interested in this but you'll be in CR over Columbus Day, known as Día de la Raza in Latin America. They have a huge Carnivale in Puerto Limon that week with lots of music, drinking, dancing and generally carrying on. Literally tens of thousands of Ticos (and Ticas) supposedly descend on that town and I'm sure mongering opportunities expand with it. If you're adventurous and want to try something a little different from your usual CR trip, you might consider checking it out.

Unfortunately, I can't go to CR at that time, though if I was I'd be looking for a wingman too, particualrly if Limon was on the itinerary. If you're interested in the Carnivale, I'm pretty sure Nibu Raphael is planning on going, though I can't say if he's looking for any wingman.

My friend Zebra posted this experience on another board which deserves repeating here for all our benefit. This posting is with his consent.

BEWARE OF THIS GUY.........In the two weeks that I have been in San Jose, this character has approached me at least three times. He is a 50ish man, nicely dressed, about 5' 8", thinning, graying hair. He seems to be posing as some sort of real estate agent for CR real estate. He carries around an armful of CR real estate brochures. His method of operation is to approach you on the street and ask you if you are interested in any CR real estate. If you tell him you have no interest in any CR real estate, he then pulls a handful of business cards from a massage parlor or strip club [I don't know which one, as I threw it away] from his pocket and insists that you take one. He then insists that you give him some money. If you refuse to give him money, he becomes quite belligerent and will pursue you up the street. This same scenario happened to me today, and he actually threatened me with physical violence to the point that it was drawing the attention of by-standers. He pulled something from his pocket, however I did not stay close enough to him to tell what it was. I quickly walked away from him and told him I was going to report him to the next police officer I saw. I will try my best to avoid this character in the future, and suggest we all do the same.

El J,
Check your PM's. I hooked you up. Anyone else interested in the map should check out either CRT or whorticulture.info. A reminder to anyone that already has the map, you can share the print-out if you like but only share the password to the full-featured on-line zoom&click version with pop-up photos with other Senior Members.

I have been away for 2 years from CR. I think I may be able to go new years eve time. I know most chicas are not around during xmas. Is it worth going on new years? Am I better off going to the Dominican republic at that time?

thanks to anyone there

It’s slow until after New Years in CR. Always some chicas around but many with there family or boyfriends . Don't know about the Dominican Republic.

I just have a question:

Does the Sportsman Lodge have a web page?

Hombres, Que Passa...

I was reviewing the Tica site :-) link above and saw that El Presidente rent Studios for $40 a night. Looks like a good deal.

So I checked out the E-P website and cannot see any Pix of the Studios.

[url]http://www.hotel-presidente.com/index.html[/url]

Some questions.

Has anyone stayed at these Studios? What are they like?

If I was to book a double Studio, would I still be hit with a Tica charge?

From what I understand they're just as nice as the regular standard rooms only smaller and with one double sized bed instead of a queen. As for chica fees, Presidente never charges for chica guests but allows hotel guests to bring in only one chica at a time. (ie no menage-a-trois unless a friend lets you sign in the 2nd chica under his room number)

Guys,

I want to go to CR for the first time. I got a few weeks to investigate the countries chicas. Would you experience mongers goto San Jose. Or is there a better place for a first timer?

Well I can say yes I woudl start in San Jose, One cause thats where most of the action is. You can take day trips to most places and have alot of fun. Then party when you get back in the evening and night. Just try and get a room at the sportsmens lodge [url]http://sportsmenscr.com/[/url] they are very helpful, and can arrange all the activities you would like to do. Also not to far of a walk to Zona Blue, New fantisy, and the Delrey. Well I do it but would never recomend anyone else try it. Walking to Delrey after dark. I have this bad habbit of walking there at like 9 or 10. Cannot help it,guess I may be a little crazy. Still it is dangerouse in the park about an hour after dark.

Why if you consider her to be your BETTER half would you want to get divorced?

Why if you've just gone through the hell that we call marriage and divorce would you want to get married again right away?

Why if "you can get the milk for free" (or very cheaply), would you want to marry the "cow"?

Hopefully, you're not thinking of marrying one of these young tica "working girls". The sex is great and they can be very sweet, but the success rate for cross-cultural marriages is already bad enough without adding usually large age differences, large educational differences, and a history of relationships with multiple sex partners based on the financial rewards that can be extracted. She may seem to be in love with you in the beginning (that's an act they have practiced on countless guys before you), but eventually her hooker training will become evident. Why not just enjoy the relationship while it works and be free to move on to the next conquest when greed or flakiness rears its ugly head.

That said, here is the info on CR marriage laws that you were inquiring about. Basically they are no time restrictions on the guy as to how long after a divorce he has to wait before he can get remarried, however for the girl there is a 300 day waiting period. It sounds a little sexist, but I believe that has something to do with the possibility she might be pregnant by her previous husband when she remarries (the period can be waived if she gets a pregnancy test).

[QUOTE=Motolo]I agree with you, one time I asked the same question to a hooker and she said " if the girl is NEW in this line of work, it might work out, if she has been doing it for a long time, chances are it will not as she KNOWS how EASY it is to make money" Motolo.[/QUOTE]I'll go one step further, if you're thinking about marrying/saving a girl that is "NEW in this line of work", you better act damn fast. The time it takes for a girl to be irreversibly corrupted is measured in weeks if not days. Say you were the girl's very first trick. Say you're foolish enough to try to send her support money after you return to the states so she doesn't have to return to her new line of work. What do you really think the likelihood is she wouldn't just take your money and return to her place of business anyway to pick up even more bucks or to find another sucker to send her money? Everyone thinks their chica is different, but you're home and she's there with all the pressures and temptations that drove her into that line of work to begin with. Don't think for a minute any amount of money you're likely to send is going to be enough to keep her from thinking of returning for more. And all that time she's back at work, sneaking around behind your back, supposedly waiting patiently for your return, sending you e-mails professing her undying love, she's rapidly absorbing a new perspective from her experience with her clients and the advice and counsel of her "co-workers". By the time you return a month later, if she's not totally spoiled she's well on her way or at least irretrievably on track to becoming that way. How can you really expect to counter the 24/7 influence of other hookers with just a handful of money and a few days each month?

And all this assumes she's really as NEW in this line of work as she CLAIMS to be.

Also, even if none of the above were true, you'll never be able to undue the nature of the way the two of you first met and how that might color the nature of your relationship going forward.
