Ok, here is my view on the subject. I had a lot time to observe and engage the chicas in DR/BM. I spent a total of about 12-13 hours there yesterday. I was there in the morning waiting for a couple CRT's who are staying there, then came back after lunch and ran into a couple of CRT's on the DR side (incl. VB in his usual spot), and then after having a very good session with one of VB's chicas, came back to BM and hung out till 6:15am, drinking (only sodas after 12:30

).
The chicas look as good or better than they did last May and October. The attitudes, I will admit, have gotten more jaded and business-like. I have spoken to or been involved in conversations (translating or just hanging around while another CRT was engaging). Obviously, this is a generalization since I didn't speak with that many of them, but they don't seem to react to jokes with a laugh or smile, but instead a dirty look, or simply not reaction now.
There are still friendly and personable chicas. I talked to a couple. The girl VB hooked me up with was a sweet as I have ever experienced from BM/DR. There were a few others, but the majority was just not as fun as I remember from previous trips.
Oh, and the price now
starts at $100 pretty much universally. Although most are willing to lower the price pretty fast, down to 70-80, there are those that stay firm at $100. Oh, and there are some now that are asking $150, I have witnessed this personally. A CRT I was sitting with was talking an absolute beauty (probably the hottest chica I have ever seen there) and got the "$150 for an hour". Needless to say, she was soon off to find a non-CRT sucker (I hope no CRT would pay that). The problem is that she probably got it from somebody.
Even one of my old "loves" from trips past spotted me an made me a "generous" offer that I could and did refuse, $100 for an hour. I always gave her $60 in the past. She's cute but not hot (body is average).
The mp scene is looking better and better.
