Yeah man I just hang out in San José for the most part. Pre-pandemic, fun party scene for sure which is probably one of the big things that kept me here. Now it's just nice to be able to spend like 5 bucks on an uber ride and go climbing nearby mountains and volcanoes when I get time off. Great climate in the city and surrounding area. I suggest here or some of the outlying cities and towns around Alajuela. Monteverde, atenas, that kind of place out in the jungle is super nice too and the internet just tends to be a bit better. I find Santa Teresa's internet to be somewhat worse than Montezuma area just to the south on the other end of the peninsula. Really though what kills things is power outages more than internet. There's co-working spaces with fibre optic, but you'd be surprised how many cheap hostels and stuff like that are buying into these plans becuase there's tons of competition all of the sudden. It's either Kölbi or American Data Networks serving it up for the most part, but the cable companies Tigo and CableTica are activating dark fibre purchases around too.

Well it looks like they replaced their reporting website with a terrible app nobody seems to like at all. I guess now you have to rely on having decent Spanish and being able to navigate their phone line heh

I have some coworkers in Costa Rica, it is close timezone wise to where I live in the USA now, and I saw this absolutely insane house at an unbelievable price a while back: https://www.coldwellbankercostarica.com/property/11337/ https://www.coldwellbankercostarica.com/property/11337/ It looks like a fantastic place to live.

  My recommendation is to look at Banco Nacional's foreclosed properties. There's a website, it's all in Spanish but if you're coming out here not knowing the language like some kind of nincompoop you're going to be overcharged for everything anyways https://www.bnventadebienes.com https://www.bnventadebienes.com
