President Laura Chinchilla This is not a border problem, it is the invasion of one nation to another.
If you’re anything like me then you realize that snoring can cause problems in your relationship. It’s not only the significant other that has to suffer through sleepless night but people who snore themselves are proven to sleep less than the average person and as we all know…lack of sleep can cause many health issues.

Having spent any amount of time in Costa Rica, one quickly realizes that customer service is not that high on the agenda. I’ll be the first to tell you that Costa Ricans are incredibly generous people and will bend over backwards to help a person out – foreigner or otherwise. I’ve never been a subscriber [...]
From the Casa de Presidencia, through the church, winding around the maze of legal “yadda yadda yadda” in the Sala IV and down to the traffic cop writing you an insanely ridiculous $660 fine for having no seatbelt – Costa Rica is one nation that really needs an overhaul on governing values and the ideology [...]
It’s no secret that crime in Costa Rica is out of control. The president has gone on national television on numerous occasions talking about the issues with the Costa Rican legal “system”.

What would you do? I’m willing to bet you’d play. In Costa Rica, crime is so ridiculously out of control that the criminals have a 90% chance of being let off – free as a bird. What this creates is a breeding ground for criminals. But not just seasoned criminals – sometimes normal law abiding citizens will [...]
You wouldn’t know it by looking at the news, but on December 31, President Obama signed what could be the end of the American Constitution. Despite swearing an oath to uphold and defend the American Constitution, President Barrack Obama has publicly denounced and challenged it’s validity in today’s world. And now as of Dec.31st, he [...]
This 2012 is looking to be one for the books – I anticipate great things will be around the bend for Costa Rica. 2011 was a year of trials and tribulations but most importantly it was a precursor to what was to come. Personally I am excited to bid farewell to 2011 and start fresh again – [...]
With last nights arrest of Ronald Herrera, the warden for the largest prison in Costa Rica, La Reforma – many watched as Herrera was arrested (on Live TV) and then only hours later…the subsequent release of Herrera with injunctions attached. In Spanish an injunction is called a medida cautelar. Their sole purpose is to place preventative [...]
