>>22383601>communitydoesnt exist anymore. in central america, yes, but not in USA outside of the amish. here if you steal something, the entire town gets their pitchforks and exiles you.
>>22383602houseboat? no thanks. rent is about $300 a month for a really nice place in a beach town. a plate with too much good food to eat in an entire day is $7 (and that is in overpriced beach town)
>>22383603yes, of course. in fact most gringos here dont speak much spanish. any educated latino person speaks english or wants to learn. there are apps for translating things and you quickly pick up the easy things like when cashier says "do you need a bag?
>>22383605it somehow feels like fewer than in the states. ticos (costa ricans) are truly a kind, warm, formal people. you can stay where you are though, kek, i dont care. tropical beaches arent for everyone lmao
