How's the week-long strike going down there? I wish I was still there to enjoy it. It sounds kind of nice to turn back time a couple centuries and walk everywhere you need to go, instead of get in a stupid car and pollute the air. Maybe the Ticos will take it one step further this time and start living in caves. Where can I sign up to invest money in that place, anyways? It sounds like a winner.
bah, i didn't payed attention at all...
those are ppl without a job, or nothing to do..
they are fighthing against the car technical revision,,
could be a monopoly, the son of the president and others.. but in my opinion they are good, no matter if is a monopoly.. look
ticos are lazy, incluiding myself, sometimes we see our car with some problems, example the brakes, what we say,, well, i will repair it later,, later,, tomorrow, later,, that technical revision is good, it makes us to repair our car, and have it in good conditions, instead of have an unhealthy car, that can cauze accidents.
and it's not only in costa rica, that we are having strikes, there are another south america and central american going under strikes,, that's a world wide crisis,,, but like i said, i have no time to cry for others, i have to work.. period.

Well, I think that Costa Rica, needs to change a lot, the goverment and politicians are giving us a hard time, but if you have money, dont worry you are going to be living "la vida loca". Is true as American said, the strike is taking a lot of days now, but is going to keep going more a few more, why because this is going to help everybody down here get a better life style, cause they are not fighting now only for RTV (car tech inspection), is also for many stupid things our goverment have being doing for the last years. And is not that is going to get worst, is going to be better for TICOS and for tourists or investors.
But this tread was for helping JimFiestSux, and now is something totally different, so lets give him the info, well if he wants to.

JFS,
Prices are artificially inflated right now. I also think this country is staring down the barrell of a an economic depression the likes of which it has never witnessed. When that happens (It has already begun.), that's when I would buy. I think 3-5 years from now the prices should be much lower than today. I love Costa Rica. It has been great to me! I just think this is the WORST time to get into real estate.

I dont like the way things are happening, but I think that this strike is going to be good for Costa Rica, cause this is gonna give the goverment something to think of (that we dont want any more corruption) But this is giving us bad publicity around the world, and with guys like AMERICAN (jeje) that hate us but still here. But JFS, I hope that you really get involved with someone good. Cause you need to be careful down here.
