Britney Spears was the last person I expected to see in my local, closet sized, grocery store this morning in Costa Rica. Ok, I didn’t see her per say, but she was on the cover of the local newspaper. In fact, she was on the front page two days in a row. More random than that is the fact she out shines her travel mate, Mel Gibson.

Planning a move to Costa Rica and planning a vacation are two totally different things. Don’t make the mistake of calling your last vacation to Costa Rica your fact finding trip. Odds are, you didnt really look at the things you needed to while you were on vacation.
Even if you have been to Costa Rica before on vacation, it is important to plan a fact finding trip before you move. These fact finding trips are essential in finding out information about the area you want to live.

There is no shortage of corrupt police offers in Costa Rica, thats for sure. Many police offers will target tourist strictly for a bribe, or because they have nothing better to do. I am being completely honest here. Police here tend to be a little more forgiving with their country men because they know most of them cant afford such tickets or cant afford to offer a bribe. Since tourists are the main target of the polices boredom, that leaves one to wonder what they can do about it.
