Wylie,
Can't PM you, perhaps you should consider joining. You are living where I hope to be in the next few years.

Bus from Atenas gets you into San Jose in a couple hours for five or six bucks. Another $40 gets you an hour at numerous mps. Where there's a will there's a way.

I have been to SJ 50+ times and have gone out with several ladies. I do speak Spanish fluently, I am Latino and I think it has helped out quite a bit.I do ask attractive ladies out, sometimes I get turned down but sometimes I don't. Here is an example:
I went to Opticas Vision, I was examined by a hot Dr. we chatted and joked she seemed in her late 20's early 30's and I decided to pull her aside from the staff and asked her if she was interested in meeting for drinks and dinner. To my surprise she gave me her # and asked me to call her later. I called her and she accepted, she met me at the bar at Crown Plaza for drinks and after 2 glasses of wine she came up with me and we screwed our brains out.. I gave her $50 and she was good with it and now I call her when I'm in town and see her.
I have had success with several ladies by just talking with them. Here is what I don't do:
Wear shorts, wear t-shirts, or tennis shoes and especially NO Hawaiian shirts!! and above all.. learn Spanish! be nice, smile and a gentleman and of course smell nice. I think the regular working girls don't care but the semi-pro and regular ladies like to be hit on and love to flirt. If you compliment them and flirt with them.. you'll be surprised
Just my 2 centavos
Good luck!!

Or you could just walk up to her and say the name of one of our famous CRT posters, "Heywood Jablowme?" :lol:

Thank you for this. In short, have some class. Sometimes I feel like I'm crying in the wilderness. Thanks Garotalover!

Asembis....... on the corner at Avenida 1 and (about) Calle Central in San Jose Centro.

It's a chain of medical clinics with several medical specialties, including optometry and opthalmology.

A refraction and prescription costs 3,000 colones.

Go to any Opticas Vision place. It's a chain. A contact lens exam costs ¢5,000 (eye glass exam is ¢3,000). They will give you a printed prescription.

However, don't buy contacts in CR, you will overpay. Get the prescription and order online in the US. VisionDirect is ok (They usually send me 15-30% discount codes, so when you are ready to order PM me and if I have a code, I'll send it to you). Another good site is ContactsCheaper

Tip: no matter what site you order from, always do a google search for discount/promo codes for the site before you order. You can save some money with very little effort.

PM me when you have your script in hand and are ready to order because they are only good for about a week.
