You can get an air conditioned minibus from in front of the University of Nicaragua or behind Israel Lewintes Market to Leon for $1.90. I know of a taxi that will bring you to Leon from the Managua airport for $50. I live in Leon. A 3 bedroom/2 ... Read More

I think Costa Rica is most like the US, especially government bureaucracy and a very poor balance of spending. I found Panama to be the least expensive for living at least outside of Panama City. And due to the Canal nearly everything manufactured ... Read More
bringing seeds into Costa Rica by lauramacpherson
We will be in Costa Rica for 4 months. I wanted to grow some veggies and herbs while we are there. Does anyone know if you are allowed to bring unopened seed packets from the US into Costa Rica? Thanks. Laura
I began working with IBM computers in 1965. Back then it was vacuum tube diode switching, 2 bits. Input was by a teletype, output on punch cards. I kind of lost my abilities after Windows 98SE as I could no longer drop to DOS where I used to write ... Read More

Restaurants are known to have it. Actually, I am in Nicaragua and even harder to find. But the gym I go to has a pool and I obtain it from there a pound will cover quite a bit of area. Cinnamon and hot peppers are known to repel ants too, but will ... Read More

Given you are looking to go into business, I would suggest considering Uruguay. The negative to that is the airfare to get there. But looking into business considered that best. If for working I thin Panama. They have a huge labor shortage and so ... Read More

I bought a bunch of packaged vegetable seeds in Costa Rica and brought them here. Very poor results as the seeds originated in Belgium and the U. In gardening you would likely do as well simply using vegetables from the store. But if you want a bit ... Read More
