1) how is the action at SL and HDR....any other suggestions
2) during the day, would like to visit art galleries and museums...any suggestions
3) is there a different reaction to a "chino gringo" to a "regular gringo". I know there is a small chino population in SJ but some cultures have different reactions to certain ethnic groups.

Once again thank you for your reply.

cheers,
Attila

1) You will find that out yourself and enjoy doing it.

2) all over the place. I suggest the gold museum for sure. It is in the Plaza de Cultura, which is where the National Theater is. It shows a history of CR including the money, art and such. I am sure others can help out with any other suggestions.

3) Being an Asian-Gringo it took me a while to get used to being called chino or chinito, BUT it is not an insult. Down here if you look a little asian, even f you are not, even just your eyes the call you chino. Like stated above, if you are looking for working girls, they mostly only see green. Although chatting them up a little helps.

I am always around the SL. Let me know if ya need any more info.

Aren't there some small art galleries in Barrio Amon? Seems like I have passed a couple and have meant to check them out. An amiga of mine was telling me about one in the area so I'll haev to check.

First week of April is not a great time to be in San Jose this year. It is Semana Santa and a lot of places including museums and art galleries might be closed.

It is still an unknown about the sale of liquor on April 5 & 6 (Holy Thursday/Good Friday). The Ley de Seca is no longer mandatory but the municipalities have the option of allowing sales or going dry. I have not heard which way San Jose is leaning.
