Please guys do not take this the wrong way -- it is just the way I have always felt about traveling.
Why do so many people want to travel to far away places to see and do things they can not see and or do at home, then complain and or wish for what they had everyday at home!! Come on guys, GET ADVENTEROUS AND TRY THE LOCAL FARE!! Open your minds to something besides meat and potatoes (or pizza or texmex)! There are many extremely good sodas and resturants here where you can get fantastic food for very little money-try something besides the same old thing everyday. Hell just south of the REY and in the Soladad area (area that includes Relax, The mansion, Las Gatitas, San, etc.) there is a truely authentic Mexican soda owned by a Chinese/Tico couple (they lived in Mexico for 20 years), One of the best fish and chiviche sodas anywhere, 3-4 good pizza places, An Argentina Resturant that serves great stakes (Argentine meat) at a reasonable price, A dozen places where you can buy fried chicken that is 10 times better than that KFC garbage (JMHO), 2 outstanding (not in my opinion but many think so) Chinese Resturants, At least a dozen sodas with fantastic food (casadas with drink for c1700-c2500), AND at least 2 places that have good hamburgers. Problem is most of these places are Tico, not American fast food places (familiarity problem with a lot of people). They are not 4-5 star places. And they do not look modern, clean (sometimes), and enviting to most gringos. And they usually are spanish only (menus and speaking)!! For me I would rather have even the lowest looking of these over the typical fast food place in the states. But that is just me! I like to be adventerous and try different things (including the chicas-jejeje)!!!
The title of this post is each person's opinion of what is missing here. You have made it very clear that you like MP girls and sodas. That is your taste and your "opinion". That is not missing here so you don't feel that those are missing from the gulch. You really don't have anything to add to this post topic of what the rest of us see as missing , in OUR opinion.
Not everyone is "traveling". A lot of us are here for years and hardly ever leave. So "experiencing" and learning the local flavor we have done that and are quite aware what IS here.
Heres the thing that gets me is posts like this one that tries to clump all guys in the same group AND assumes because someone lives in a certain area, they need to CHANGE. Not everyone wants to eat every meal at a soda or a roach infested pizza place like C.d.Sol.
In the states I didn't live in a slum and I don't care to here. In the states I didn't eat every meal in a un ventilated or un-air-conditioned restaurant and I don't care to here. I've worked hard all my life and continue to do so and want to enjoy some of the same comforts no matter where I live. That is my opinion.
