[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't want to let slide that someone above said ... "Really anything is more interesting than Costa Rica, with its greedy locals who have a 50 year head start on scamming Gringos." That is a disgusting and hateful comment. [/quote]

Why is it disgusting? It’s just the truth. Like Thailand and other similar former paradises, Costa Rica has been overrun with US visitors for many decades, and so the country and people have learned to run various scams to separate Gringos from their Greenbacks. What is actually disgusting is the amount of foreign men who visit Costa Rica for the sole purpose of sleeping with hookers. The same situation exists in neighboring Panama (and in Thailand of course). Because other Central American countries such as El Salvador, Guatemala and Nicaragua receive far fewer visitors, the sex trade is not the same in those countries. So think about that next time you plan a family friendly Spring Break trip to Costa Rica. That country is truly vile. [/quote]

Sadly this is a well known fact.  I remember having a return flight from San Jose with a bunch of men bragging about all the women they’d slept with.  It’s also completely legal in Costa Rica.  Same in Panama.  There were so many prostitutes looking for clients in the lobby of our four star hotel.   With mass tourism taking over Colombia over the past couple of years, pretty much same there too.

This looks like a fun book to read if you want to think the men who engage in prostitution are enlightened feminists.
