Although we sometimes expose some of the negative things about living in Costa Rica, there are actually quite a few reasons to live or retire in the Central American country. Plus I look at the USA right now and around the world and the problems that occur in Costa Rica are really not that bad. Yes, you can get frustrated but just do what I do now, laugh. The people in Costa Rica are not going to change so do not try to make them. Once you grasp that concept you can live at peace here.
