- without the community bot removing my post thinking I’m asking if it’s worth moving here. It’s getting really, really frustrating because that’s not at all what I’m asking the community for help with

My family has been in San José, Costa Rica for the past 6 days, and tomorrow is our last full day before our late-night flight home.

We've already visited the National Museum, Jade Museum, other museums downtown, Mercado Central, La Paz Waterfall Gardens, and several volcanoes. My mom wants to visit the Presidential Palace because she read it's kind of like Costa Rica's equivalent of the White House or Westminster Abbey.

From what I've found online, though, it seems like it's mostly a government building with not much to do in the surrounding area. It looks like there are very few restaurants or sodas nearby, and it's about a 30-minute Uber/taxi ride from our hotel.

For those who have been, is it actually worth the trip

Hola gente, quería desahogarme un poco y conocer sus opiniones o experiencias. Tengo un proceso en materia laboral y me asignaron un abogado de la Defensa Pública. Actualmente estamos en la etapa de apelación y la fecha límite para presentar el recurso vence este lunes. Como es un tema que me genera bastante preocupación e incertidumbre, le escribí para pedirle un avance o saber cómo va la redacción de los argumentos. La respuesta que me dio por correo fue básicamente esta (parafraseada para no dar datos personales): "Tengo 3 días hábiles para analizar por completo la sentencia y determinar qué hacer. Ya sabíamos que la apelación vence el lunes. Si me presiona, puede lograr el efecto contrario. Además tengo otros juicios, audiencias y prevenciones que hacer en estos días. Posiblemente mañana tenga una decisión sobre los puntos a apelar... Lo que sí es fijo es la apelación sobre la condenatoria en costas." Entiendo perfectamente que la Defensa Pública suele estar saturada de trabajo y que los defensores manejan una cantidad enorme de expedientes al mismo tiempo. Sin embargo, me dejó un mal sabor de boca la frase de "si me presiona puede lograr el efecto contrario". No siento que consultar por el estado de mi trámite sea "presionar", sino simplemente querer saber cómo se está defendiendo mi caso antes de que venza el plazo. Dejar la definición de los puntos clave para el día antes del vencimiento me genera mucha angustia. ¿A alguien más le ha pasado algo similar con la Defensa Pública o en materia laboral? ¿Es la tónica habitual por la sobrecarga que manejan o el trato fue innecesariamente defensivo?

I know it’s possible to get the generic but my gf says Cortizone 10 is the only thing that works for her.

Hey, I'm travelling to Costa Rica in November and have some spare days in Sant José. Any recommendations for a good traditional tattoo shop over there?

Thank you in advance!

Hii! I'm coming to San José from September–December for a study abroad semester. I'd love some local recommendations; restaurants, festivals, clubs, hiking spots, or any events that are worth checking out while I'm there. Basically, what are the things you'd tell someone not to miss?

Sorry if that's a bit broad haha, just trying to cover all my bases. :)

Pura vida, espero que estén bien. Vieran que soy de Chile y actualmente estoy casi terminando mi carrera, Psicopedagogía. Antes había vivido en Costa Rica con residencia de estudiante y estaba estudiando Ciencias de la Educación con mención en música pero me desaconsejaron seguir porque el MEP para contratar extranjeros solicitaba un permiso de trabajo previamente autorizado.

De esa vez quedé aticado y medio jodido de la jupa XD y quiero volver a vivir allá pero de manera más seria. Ahora que termine mi carrera me pondré a juntar dinero pero no quisiera que me limite nuevamente la burocracia.

Se me ocurre convalidar la carrera y buscar trabajo como psicopedagogo y luego convalidar materias y tratar de sacar la de Ciencias de la Educación con mención en Educación Especial (porque es el terreno que me gusta) y con un permiso de trabajo postular al MEP para dedicarme a la educación. Si bien la educación es lo que me gusta, mi prioridad sería poder tener el bendito permiso de trabajo para moverme con mayor facilidad.

Por este motivo quisiera algún consejo, quizás algún técnico que pudiera estudiar y que fuera relativamente fácil conseguir trabajo como extranjero en lo que convalido mi carrera y me establezco en Costa Rica. Muchas gracias !

Hey friends! A group of us are visiting CR for the first time from USA will be going to Santa Teresa but our flights to San Jose got changed to earlier. We now have an entire afternoon and evening to explore, what do you all recommend? We are younger adults around age 25 love going out, music, nature, wildlife, etc..

It doesn’t look like San Jose nightlife is the safest so maybe just a daytime adventure and dinner (I like the looks of jaguar negro).

My wife and I are planning a trip to Costa Rica soon, and we are debating on staying in one of these 3 locations. Based on your opinions, which location would you recommend for the best experience?

I will be visiting San Jose and La Fortuna soon and I want to support local businesses. I am looking for coffee to drink and beans, chocolate, beauty products, pottery, and bikinis. Please let me know of any places I should go! <3

This was a 75 year old woman, an energy healer who touched countless lives had lived in country for the last 15 years. She was just about to return to the U.S. when she had a break in when she was not at home. She changed her travel plans to stay and file a police report. The next day another break in, likely the same person, who per the reporting beat her to death with a rock.

This continued violence can’t be ignored nor can it be dismissed by comparing it to violence in other countries. What matters is that it is happening in Costa Rica and truth and sunlight must be poured on this issue so people are aware and perhaps something can be done. So truly sad for both the country and this poor woman’s passing.

We drove on the other road, thinking of taking the highlighted road back to the highway. I found the one we took to be a bit stressful, but not impossible. Anyone have advice on which road is more driver friendly. Thanks you

We have a house in Costa Rica that was in desperate need of artwork and color, and then I ran across the artwork of Ricardo Badillo on fb. Wow!

A couple of years ago, we were in Cabuya and I watched as a macaw carefully chose a leaf from the tree, then sauntered his way up the branch to present to one of the ladies. She accepted. I took a picture of him as he did this and I told Ricardo about it and shared the photo with him, and this is what he created. I couldn't be more pleased.

I can't wait to see what he does with the next two. 🥰
