10 Things We Hate About Living In Costa Rica
2007-03-08 21:37:02 1. The crime is out of control. The police are under-paid and under trained. Supervisor systems are almost non-existent. 2. In many areas of the country (at least the ones close to good medical assistance) it is unsafe to take your dog for a walk at night. If the criminals don?t get you, the lack of street lights and pot holes will. Be careful, or you?ll break an ankle. 3. Many Ticos secretly hate foreigners. And in some cases, not so secretly. It?s easy to over-hear Cost a Ricans talking with extreme prejudice against Nicaraguans. They don?t even use code words or insinuation. It?s just extreme prejudice, and they put it right out there for you to see. My American friends tell me it?s far worse than prejudice against Blacks in America. 4. Futball is religion. Although the same can be said for many countries. 5. Their patriotism/nationalism is obnoxious. I?ve never seen so much bragging about how they think their country is #1. And th...

Living In Costa Rica ? 10 Things We Like About This Country
2007-03-08 21:37:02 1. The Ticos. Very pleasant people. I like the fact that they generally will greet you when passing on the street (in residential areas). And that when you say, ?Thank you,? they reply with ?con mucho gusto.? In other Latin American countries, they just say, ?De Nada? ? and in many countries, not even that. Only with a cursory, ?Okay.? What?s more rude than telling a waiter, ?Thank you,? and then getting a reply of ?Okay??? Thankfully, this doesn?t happen in Cost a Rica. Genetically, they are a very diverse and beautiful people. Which is nice. Ever live amongst the pigmies? It?s gotta be a drag. 2. Variable micro-climates. You can choose the type of weather you like. Up in the mountainous areas, it gets outright cold. Not Minnesota cold. But cold. Everything in-between burning hot and ?colder-than-comfortable? is available. 3. You don?t have to worry about what kind of car you drive. Just having a car makes you feel like you?re keeping up with t... More About: Living , Country , About , This
Costa Rica Offers Protection From Psycho Stalkers
2007-03-08 21:37:02 One of the unexpected benefits you will receive from living in Cost a Rica is that this country offers natural protection from romantic stalkers. How? Simple… we have no street signs and no house numbers. Which means that half the time, even when someone you want to find your house comes looking for you… they can’t find you. Most directions are given as such, “100 meters past the ICE building, and 75 meters south, the condo called, “The White House”. There’s no telephone directory to look up your address. In fact, it’s easy to get a cell phone number in somebody else’s name. And usually, if your apartment or condo has a telephone, the bill is in the landlord’s name.

Crying About A Police State
2007-02-28 21:35:02 Gringos who live in Costa Rica (and those who live in the U.S. and dream about Costa Rica) love to whine about their alleged “Police Stat e ” in the good ‘ol U.S. of A. I wouldn’t know. I’m not an American and I’ve never lived in the States. But I’ve been there. And I’ve also been (and lived in) some real police states (like Iran, Syria, the West Bank, Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley, parts of Colombia, and a few others) … and I can tell you that in a real police state, if you publish something that goes against the “Party-Line” … they’ll hunt you down. And attack you personally. They’ll find out where you live, and then they’ll come after you and your family. This doesn’t happen in civilized western countries. It doesn’t happen in the United States, and fortunately… it doesn’t happen in Costa Rica. Except on the internet, when it involves the Gringo America-bashers and... More About: About , Police State
