Costa Rica Public Hospitals

By Ivo Henfling

If you have residency in Costa Rica you are obliged to be registered at the Caja Costarricense del Seguro Social  or C.C.S.S.  though this government mannaged health care system has long been broke. To see any doctors, you will need to start standing in line at 4:00 am to get attended and most of the time they’ll give you an appointment 6 months later. The system works though for those who do not have private insurance like I.N.S. or any other insurance company, you just need to be a bit patient and bring a book.

Learn basic Spanish before you move to Costa Rica

By Ivo Henfling

This picture got your attention, didn't it? Well, that's what I needed because when I start talking about learning Spanish, most people don't pay attention. Imagine, you get stopped in your home town by a Latin, asking in Spanish where the grocery store is located.

What would you say? Most would answer “why don’t you learn English”? Am I right or wrong? The other day I saw a gringo in Escazu get mad at a Tico and shout at him in English.
The poor sucker didn’t have a clue what the gringo was shouting at him. The Tico just turned around and walked away. This in turn made the gringo even madder. I enjoyed the scene from my car.
