Hermanos,
Do you guys with pretty good Spanish skills usually address the Chicas with tu or usted?
It is my understanding that, unlike much of the Latin world, there is a greater formality in CR, with most people finding tu a little too pushy from strangers.
On the other hand, usted seems to me to be a little formal, given the relationship of CRTers to chicas.
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
Always trying to be polite (and occasionally failing)!!

C.R. Spanish speakers use the usted for everyone. Ch*ldr*n, pets, judges.
In the HDR and other venues however, there are girls from other L.Am. countries who use the "tu" form. I do this: ?De donde es Ud.?" If she says anywhere outside of C.R., I use the "tu" form.
It has nothing to do with the social context of prostitution. IMHO.
