I've been thinking as of late to relocate permanently to Costa Rica. It seems to be more of what, I believe, the DR used to be. It seems to have a more hospitable climate for investment. The ecological scenery is more impressive than the DR. The women are definitely prettier. Not having an armed forces is quite a quantum leap for a 3rd world Latin American country. The people, themselves are calmer than dominicans in general. I could go on but would like to hear from forum members who have definite experiences with Costa Rica yet have opted out in favor of the DR. Curious to know WHY?
Some might wonder why I didn't opt for Europe or America. Europe is too advanced structurally, stale and haughty and America is as bland as boiled potatoes. It's one gargantuan PUD with no obvious variations. Every state is non-descript and the people generally are automatons greasing the wheels of capitalism. I visit both and enjoy the stay but living there is a whole other set of circumstances. I love the third world setting, its simplicity, rustic charm, and amicability of its native populations.
This is not meant to be an open invitation for THE VILLAGE IDIOTS to queue in their claptrap. You know who you are!
