Well I completed my 7 day trip and it was DIFFERENT!!!!

The food in San Jose kills Sosua but remember Sosua is a small town of 10,000 people.

Crime, well in sosua there are 130 cops there to protect us and they are out in Full FORCE!!!!!


hotels, in SJO are a notch above Sosua but you can gets 2 bedroom condo's for $80 to $100 per night.

The price of girls in DR kills CR. Sure were are getting them in the 7-8 range but they are with us for 6 to 24 hours for $40 to $75 based on your skills.

I was with about 18 Ticas and Nicas for my trip of 7 days. I spent over $900 I think but in Sosua I was with 9 chicas for $161 last trip.

All good points and if all you want to do is eat, sleep and screw then Sosua is not the only place that beats CR. But that is really missing the point. If you're a whorticulturist its not just about the mongering. During your 7 days in CR did you get out at all to see the country and if so what were your impressions on that?

I will be honest with you, this trip was 100% for whoring. I found that I can purchase a 2 week airpass for $299 and see 15 different places in CR next time around.

Thanks for the comparison, which I know, coming from you, is well-informed.

I have not been to DR, yet.

Could you break down the talent comparison a little more for us? I've had good experiences with the DR girls working in CR.

Another difference that makes me keep coming back to CR is that, although Dominicanas are my favorite, sometimes I like the choice of having Colombianas, Ticas, Nicas, Panamanians, an occasional European..., which I didn't find in Sosua, Caberete, and Puerta Plata

I just though I would give my thoughts on the topic.Having been to Costa Rica 12 times and DR 2 times I am biased in the opposite direction to Jimmy. Two things CR offers that DR doesn't is the variety of chicas and the immense tourist opportunities though I haven't seen that much of DR from pics and reading it seems Costa Rica offers much more.

Restaurants and Hotels:Many more choices of hotels and more value for you money in CR and food is more resaonable , many more options and better.

Sosua is much safer than San Jose at night and some safer in the day.I wlk all over in Sosua at all hours with no problem but not in San Jose beyond 8 or 9 PM and I am braver than most but know the street well and the safer routes to places.

For me prices of girls are cheaper for short term like an hour but more for long term than Sosua and the MP daytime scene is much better in San Jose .Most MPs in Sosua where you can get extras are often not full service where all in San Jose are full service with a over a half dozen quality places available in the 20 to $25 range

All good points. As a seasoned DR traveler, I can go into the smaller towns and find fresh new stars. I enjoy having a chica by my side for 4-12 hours at a time, sometimes.

The thing about SJO is now I am interested in going up North to get some Nicas and down to Colombia.

Cool! I get to post the 50000th post on this board.

Anyway, Jimmy, I went to WSG and followit to its source at http://insidecostarica.com/dailynews/2005/may/16/nac02.htm. It indeed said 25%, but I still have to believe that was a typo. If crime was anywhere near that extensive in CR you would be reading about it in the US papers and no one would be going to CR.

That WSG thread had exactly 3 articles with any real information on the subject of crime in CR. One was the typical US embassy warnings. Go to their website and you will find similar or often even more alarming advisories on other countries. They offered a lot of good advice but when they tell you things like it is dangerous to sit in the front seat of a cab or you're legally required to wear a seatbelt in those cabs you have to realize that they are being overly cautious. There were also a couple of articles from some CR newspaper sites that bemoaned rising crime. You get stories like that everywhere, since its a problem common to a lot of places. I don't want to minimize the problem and it is certainly getting worse, but I wouldn't read to much into those either.

Most of the crime happens to people who are careless, off their guard or fail to follow some basic precautions. BTW, I also saw in that thread that you went with a street girl a few times on this past trip. That's one really good way you can increase your risk of being a victim of crime.

I just posted it cause I thought it was of interest.

I saw a girl in the ,all area with a rabbit so I went over to her. She asked if I wanted sex for $100 and I laughed at her and she started to chase me.

Oops, I just realized in my rush to get in the 50000th post I replied in the wrong thread. For those observers here, we are referring to an article Jimmy posted in a thread on SJ Crime. And Jimmy, no problem at all man. If 25% of all visitors to CR were really the victims of crime, like it said in that insidecostarica article, it would be REAL INTERESTING. I just can't believe those numbers could possibly be correct.

SAN JOSE for the variety in SOSUA is the HOTEL TIBURON still there , it was near moby dick and the texaco gas station. HAVE A GREAT DAY

I never saw it and I was going since 1997.

For many years, dominicanas eran mis favoritas.

However, there is no doubt that Ticas and Colombianas beat them.

Las panameñas no son tan buenas as the Ticas and Colombianas either.

I think it has to do with the sotuation in the DRepublic. I do business in DR and visit it frequently, and even though I always have a great time (have lots of friends in the capital), there is no way the dominicanas compare to ticas or colombianas in service, attitude and GFE. That is MHO.

Pura Vida!!!

JDR, as you know, I've never hobbied in the Dominican. If you remember my thread on your board "Novia in Santiago." When I was there I was with one chica exclusively. We did go up to Sosua from Santiago. Obviously, I could only view from a prospective mongers point of view. I combed the beach at Sosua..WOW! It convinced me that one day I will hobby in Sosua. Costa Rica is still number one in my heart for the variety, ease of flight schedule (Chicago to DR can be HELL for schedule, if not hell for schedule EXPENSIVE as hell), knowledge of the country etc.. But, having said that I really do MUCH prefer the beach scene. I hate the weather in the Central Valley of Costa Rica. If the Del Rey and the whole MP scene were in say....Jaco, I would never think of anywhere else.
