“I just have a feeling that Obama is going to ruin america for good, we will never get out of this debt and the Amercia as we know and knew is nit going to exist anymore so that is why I am out here looking.”
That comment above suggests that you’re looking to “escape” from the U.S. and that you’re not necessarily considering movng to C.R. because of C.R. itself given that you’ve never been here and know nothing about it. As stated multiple times, it is IMPERATIVE that when making a decision such as this, that you really come down and visit C.R. for an extended period of time or make multiple visits. If you have never lived in a 3rd world environment it’s even more important that you do your due diligence by spending time in C.R. There have been many great things said about living in C.R. by those that are adapted to the lifestyle. In contrast, I have also read MANY stories about Americans (and others) that made a commitment to move here thinking they had found Paradise only to realize a year or 2 later that they were not able to adapt and decided to move back to their home country.
As for the Obama thing, another option, if you like your country, is to stay and fight for change rather than “escape”. Good Luck
“Must be that the Brits, Canadians, Ticos and Cubans are awhole lot smarter than the Americans if they can successfully put together national health programs without sinking their respective countries.”
Seems like I hear many….many…more stories about Brits..Canadians and others coming to the U.S. for medical care than the other way around. Secondly…compared to that rathole known as Cuba I don’t think that America is exactly…well….”sinking”…
I was in C.R. this past Decenber as well as last week. Both occasions I paid the extra $8 or $10 a day for a GPS unit and they worked great. They really come in very helpful when you’re trying to navigate your way in or out of San Jose. FYI–I used Dollar Rent a Car and they pre-set everything for me (my destinations etc.) and it worked like a breeze.
My suggestion is that if you have any sort of chronic medical condition, such as diabetes or something along those lines you don’t want to live in Ojochal (stay somewhat close to San Jose..not just for the doctors but also for the ease of obtaining needed medicines). If everybody is healthy then go for it. It’s a very calm and beautiful area.
I too would like to look at opportunities in the Orosi Valley since I’ve read very good things about it. Can someone put me intouch with Stephen Riley or any other expert focusing in that area. Thank You.
