[quote=”maravilla”]The way in which Wally World operates would certainly make one think that it would not be out of their usual business practices to pay bribes in Costa Rica, just as it wouldn’t be out of the ordinary for some gummint official to take one. Latin America operates on this system. It’s NORMAL! It’s how it’s always been and how it’s always going to be. But wait — it’s how it is in Italy, Spain, Dubai, AND the US. Bribes: It’s what makes the world go ’round.[/quote]
Good Grief! Maravilla and I have the same opinion??? That is just too odd.
Yes, since we can’t “work”, even if we own our own businesses, I would love to hear about opportunities to earn some cash.
So, now we know where to get egg layers.
Now, can anyone tell me where to get a pool table (and have it delivered to Nuevo Arenal area)?
This is not known as topic “drift”, it is known as topic “tsunami”.

9 year old car and the marchamo was nearly $300! I had heard from friends who have been here for years that it has been a lot less but that it was going up. Anyone else get a surprise?
The point is, there is no “on the spot fine” – although the handy “Costa Rican Spanish” book tells you how to say it. Asking to pay such a ‘fine’ is just a way of offering a bribe without using the nasty word, ‘bribe’.
So, yes to Costaricabill. There are real bribes.
[quote=”camby”][quote=”VictoriaLST”]There is no one ‘truth’..[/quote]
well, you wont here this on the controlled media of Clear Channel/Limbaugh, but yes, there is a Truth, one and only, we celebrate his birthday officially on 12/25. one savior……one truth[/quote]
Biblical truth?? Read “The Book of Mary” and the rest of the documents that a group of old men banned from their official book.
[quote=”costaricabill”][quote=”VictoriaLST”]Bribes? What else is new. :roll:[/quote]
And Victoria, what proof do you have? Have you ever paid a bribe in Costa Rica? And please, don’t start with “no I haven’t but…..”
Like you say, [i]”There is what you think, what you want to believe, everything else….and then there are the facts”[/i], so tell us, is this what you think, or is it what you want to believe or is this a fact?
I’m waiting for the fact(s) mam, just the facts![/quote]
Does paying an “on the spot fine” qualify? If so, then yes.
