Las Putas de San Jose

Everyone told me Central American capitals suck and I have to say I'm not terribly impressed with Costa Rica's. To be fair it's a Sunday so there's not as much going on. We'll see if it gets any better tomorrow morning but right now I expect I'll head out in the afternoon.

Dear god, never in my life have I seen so many prostitutes. Panama city had a sex tourism problem, San Jose has a sex tourism epidemic. This is the Templo de Musica, according to Lonely Planet widely regarded as "the symbol of San Jose" located in the center of a red light district called Parque España.

I wonder if they have the same kind of AIDS numbers that places like Bangkok have where I imagine the sex industry to be busy as well.
