    28385-holidays Comment
    Costa Rica celebrates quite a few similar holidays as the Americans. They have Easter Holy week, and they have Christmas. Of course, their traditions are different than ours....

    I read some where that this is one of the more wealthy areas. Maybe that is why the crime is up, I suppose. Where do people retire most in Costa...

    What is the crime like? Message
    I have a friend coming through Heredia for about a month soon and she was wondering if this is a high crime area. Because, if so she is going to change her hotel arrangements and book one in an area with less crime. Thanks...

    is_it_safe_for_a_woman_to_travel_by_herself Comment
    Jane, just be very cautious when traveling alone. Make sure there are people around. Don't take shortcuts and backroads. Just take the main streets where more people are, that will increase your chances of no...

    Spring_Break_in_Costa_Rica Comment
    I never hear too much about people going to Costa Rica for Spring Break. Always Cancun and Cozumel. Why is that, because Costa Rica is a great American vacation destination? I don't know much about prices and entertainment in Cancun and Cozumel, but...

    At_what_cost Comment
    I figured all of Costa Rica was hot. I forget about all of the mountains. But that does make sense that it is cold on and around the mountains. Does it get chilly on the beaches at...

    Does Costa Rica have fast food restaurants? I can't remember because it has been a while since I went. I would figure you at least have a...

    Canopy_tours_who_has_been Comment
    I have been on a couple of them. If you are scared of heights, I would not recommend it unless you are interested in overcoming that fear. I had an absolute blast. Their are tons of companies that offer canopy tours. The two I went on were equally fun. I...

    Assumptions Comment
    Do you know that there are many people that think Costa Rica is part of the United States. Some people relate it for some reason to places like Baja. I have no clue why, but it...

    Move_to_Costa_Rica Comment
    We are very lucky in the United States to have the amenities that we do and the freedom. We make decent money, have good homes, and great opportunities that other countries don't get. Personally, I will never move outside of the U.S. I do enjoy visiting...

    It is hard to get your hands on one of a kind art anywhere you live. I don't know why Costa Rica would be any different. Everywhere produces some great replicas though at half the cost. I am sure there are still ways to find originals...

    Oh yeah, I am sure there are English teachers there. I am almost certified as an ESL teacher in the United States and I have learned that all countries need these types of teachers. I don't know what the pay would be like...

    Government_Monopoly_on_Technology Comment
    Costa Ricans will have to make an effort if they want changes to occur. Americans just need to enjoy their vacation there. I wouldn't move there as an American. There are many better places to retire if you ask...

    How_much_should_I_bring Comment
    It totally just depends on where you stay and how much shopping you will be doing, how many times you will eat at restaurants. If you are wanting to bring home some really good authentic souvenirs set aside some extra cash for that. Really, you can go...

    There is a casino near to the Costa Rica Villas where a friend of mine stayed in Costa Rica. The hotel was very nice and on the beach. She brought back gorgeous pictures. She said the casino is called Coco Verde and it was not far...

    I know of one casino, but I am not sure if it located within a hotel. It is called Casino Tropical. I have heard from a friend that it is a good casino in Costa Rica. If I remember correctly there are a couple floors of rooms about the casino. I will...

    Best Land Prices Message
    I was looking at some lots on the web in Costa Rica and they are going for upwards of $300, 000 if you want ocean view. I didn't think it would be that high. I was very surprised. Do quite a few people retire in Costa...

    University of Costa Rica Message
    I was amazed to find out that the University of Costa Rica offers just as many courses and degree programs if not more than some universities here in the United States. Look at these stats, only about 30% that apply to get in will actually get in. I...

Keep this min mind... . Some people like to call Costa Rica various things like Puerto Rico or Costa Rico. Costa Rica translates to "Rich Coast"... check out Costa Rica. Costa Rica is also two words, not one, ie: Costarica or CostaRico. San Jose is the capitol city of Costa Rica. The San Jose International Aiport (SJO) is really located in Alajuela, Costa Rica (about 15 km from the Capital San Jose).
