SFT,
You need to try and hook up with an experienced wingman cuz you must have a greenhorn stamp on your forehead. First you report prices quoted to you at Eros as $60 and $50 at IDEM. Next you report the price of the drink a Kamur girl tries to get you to buy her as 6000c as if that were the price for a standard drink. And now you report $81 at Don Carlos. FYI, Eros costs about 20K or about $41 unless you let a cabbie take you there and have them try to pass his commission off on you. IDEM costs only 19K or $40 unless you go for the premium room downstairs and that only costs $5 more. REGULAR chica drinks at Kamur are half of what that hustler was trying to get you to buy for her. And Don Carlos only charges $70 for the superior room during the high season (when I was there last I got a superior for only $55/nt). You also forgot to mention that the Don Carlos is only 2 stories tall so doesn't really need an elevator (or a/c for that matter). More important than any of that you left out the most important aspect of Don Carlos to most people here, which is that they don't allow you to bring back chica guests.

You've been checking out the more off the beaten track places in SJ and trying to report back useful info which is to be commended. But your posts haven't really added anything new and in some cases has actually been somewhat misleading. You've been in SJ for over a week now. Instead of asking all these questions on the board, why don't you just try to hook up with some of the guys at the CRT happy hour and get them all out of the way on the spot. And THEN see if you can tag along with some of them to show you the ropes so you don't end up getting taken in.

To Any Crt member if you want to show me around let me know.

I am sure Prolijo is correct. I am solo here 1st timer using the CRT Map on my own by myself. And my spanish is very limited.
I am on the 3rd floor in Don Carlos not 2nd. I got 3 suitcases. I am only staying at Don Carlos becuse Presidente was Booked up for that day becuase I extended my stay in SJ for a week more I leave Sept 2 friday.
I mainly been going to the MP or places with on site places for my safety and security.
And stay at Prez as a backup if I wanted to bring a chica back.
I am concerned about Blacklisted Chicas at the Marlin bar trying to drug me or rip me off. If the Taxi drivers and clubs are ripping me off I am sure the Chicas will try there best.
To Prolijo I thankyou for spending so much time and effort in making the map. It makes things easier for a 1st timer like me.
