Costa Rica: Outrageous traffic congestion:

And the final chapter of the novelette is that every day there are 8 more vehicles driving on the crumbling and out-of-date infrastructure.

Costa Rica: "A Single Woman’s Budget in Costa Rica: How She Lives on $1260 USD ":

Wake up and smell the coffee! Central American Data, an online financial news service, said Monday in an editorial that “Costa Rica's external vulnerability is now much higher than it was in years past, as the growing fiscal deficit makes it increasingly difficult to access external financing, without which pressure on domestic interest rates will be inevitable, with a consequent negative effect on the real economy.” There seems to be agreement among observers of the political scene that the central government's plan for new taxes is dead. The Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said as much when it announced last week that it is cutting the nations credit worthiness from BB to BB-., "risky."

Costa Rica: 'Should I go or should I stay?:

Yes, an excellent article, much better than the one about San Francisco below it. Especially good since Mr. Scofield did not use the 'P-V' word or 'paradise.'

Costa Rica: Murder in Matapalo:

Sad indeed, but gracias a Dios, the Polyanna's didn't mention PV or pair-o-dice.

Costa Rica: Attorney Suggestions for Residency Application:

January 2015 ARCR; was that before or after Ryan Piercy was kidnapped? Now it is run by a lawyer. I heard that folks have left ARCR after the kidnapping.

Costa Rica: Costa Rica had 2.665.000 visitors in 2015:

The same BS cupcake article from the Tico Times eh. Same lies year after year, they count all the Nicas and Colombians as tourists as well as the perpetual tourists and people who leave the country for 3 months and come back get get counted over and over, they inflate the numbers , more money comes in more money to steal and nothing invested as far as infrastructure, The minister of MOPT, Carlos Segnini resigned last week because nothing has been done to improve the roads & bridges. Todo pa dentro y nada para fuera de Tico way!

Costa Rica: Drugs in Costa Rica:

Here is something positive to talk about. QCOSTARICA.COM – A specialized police force launched in October has been focusing on an all-out effort against local drug-dealing organizations, which are responsible for much of the country’s gang violence and record year for killings in CR. And if you like that news article, you will love this one; http://www.borderlandbeat.com/2015/12/pablo-acosta-el-zoro-de-ojinaga-part-1.html the supposed war on drugs is puro show. Again same parade with different clowns.

Costa Rica: Orosi:

Marty...it's "her.' And you can use my Louisville slugger. Talk about stupid, she can't even spell 'butt' correctly. I pity the poor soul who is moving in with her, Expats who always refer to "pair-o-dice" really don't have a clue.

Costa Rica: Guns in Costa Rica:

There is no official military in Costa Risa. Any resident, perpetual tourist, 90 day wonder and those who are waiting for their residency papers and cedula can easily buy a gas operated CO2 pellet pistol or rifle. No gubmint paperwork or permissions needed. They can be very effective, some have the same muzzle velocity as a 22 cal. Keep it at home or carry in your vehicle. Pepper spray is also a handy thing to have. Keep your dogs inside your home at night or they might be poisoned.

Costa Rica: Could you lose your passport?:

So will the US revoke the passports of the tax-dodging executives at Pfizer? U.S. pharmaceutical giant Pfizer (PFE) and Irish rival Allergan(AGN) Monday announced a record-breaking $160-billion merger, the largest in health-care industry history and the biggest yet involving a controversial tax-avoidance strategy. The new combination would retain Allergan's legal and tax residency in Ireland. Pfizer would have its global operational headquarters in New York and its principal executive offices in Ireland. Just Google "tax inversion," Pfizer is carrying out what is known in the U.S. business world as a tax inversion deal. This involves an American company combining with a business located in a foreign country (Ireland) with a lower corporate tax rate, potentially avoiding millions of dollars annually in U.S. taxes. And do you think that the millions of dollars in savings by Pfizer will result in lower drug costs to U.S. citizens? Ha.
