Ok. Let's say you were younger, weren't in the gambling biz, had to commute to work...and lets say prostitutes were legal the states. You would still choose to live here?
My wife is tica, and she's incredibly close with her family. My son is the same way. When I see how close the entire familiy is, it would just be cruel of me to take them away from that. Life is all about family, man. I would never split apart something that means that much to them.
It's in santa teresa....
Going to a gringo establishment in Santa Teresa, what would you expect?
To live at the beach you need to multiply your level of patience by 100 times. People like it cause its not Americanized but then trash it because it isn't in the same breath. Its not fair really.
I'd much rather live at the beach here than the city. What do I expect? I can go to the TOT and get a big sandwich for $10. Gringo bar en Escazu. Not for leaves, fruits, and seeds in between bread...that was my complaint.

I don't need no prostitutes, but i love this country. I have a valium effect when I come back here from up there. That drive from the airport just makes me feel like I am home.Ok.

living in costa rica is more expensive then living in most USA locations.
i wish to discuss banks. you would think banks exist to handle money. well, here
it just ain't so. you see, there are no street names or house numbers in most places
outside the center of san jose. people do not use mail to send checks and pay bills.
the majority do not pay via internet. even though there are many locals to pay
bills( phone, utility, cable, internet, municipality, etc) yet, the majority people go
to the bank to pay these bills. that means if you need to make a financial transaction
you might need to wait 30 minutes , an hour or more to do your thing. Plus people
are so inconsiderate they bring the bills of their friends and family. so, there are perhaps
30 people waiting, 3 or 4 cashiers--imagine the wait. also, they don't have
lines here--practically impossible as it takes so long, so you must sit. that's good as older
customers, women with children, pregnant women, people with canes can walk in and get
served before you even if you're waiting an hour.
if you're not a patient person, it's torture!!!!!
