There are no american style escrow accounts in Costa Rica. When you hand someone $200,000, be it lawyer, RE agent monkey or sloth – it is a good faith agreement only.
Also, regarding needing help, an acquaintance used a consultant to get three properties from WWLI with the land properly vested in each corporation. The man does seminars in California regarding real estate in Costa Rica. My friend told me he tried for over a year to get his titles from WWLI and had no success even with Costa Rican attorney. He bought his property sight unseen on the web and the three pieces cost $100,000 for 6 hecs. He never got title even agter a year. I do not remember the consultants name but I remember his unique email, cashincostarica@yahoo.com. He told me he got it all squared away for him in two weeks. Apparently he’s a real bulldog.
There are no such thing as an american style escrow in Costa Rica. In the US escrow accounts are “neutral third party bonded ($3,000,000.0 per transaction) depositories A Tico lawyer is hardly neutral, he is involved in the transaction so he is not a third party, and the colegio de Abogados, a most worthless institute that refuses to sufficently punish there own and therefore are indirectly responsible for the vast majority of fraud in CR do insure attorney escrow accounts for a whopping $590.00. Seen any $590,00 property latley?
Carl, There is a severe lack of finish carpentry skill, plumbing and electrical skills. If you can construct a fireplace that vents you are in bussiness. You are needed here so do not let the good little followers and neigh sayers discouarge you. I personally can give you several clients right now.
Lindisima chicira y que rica eres! Otraves me amorcita – otraves y besa me con sus palabras suave y sensualmente… tuanes
Well well well, an Italian fest. Count me in. Half from Milan, quarter Florence and a quarter Sicily. I guess that about covers the boot eh? A great ehtnicity that can be a real pain in the posterior – as my posts well illustrate.
Fortunately and unfortunately they have 500,000 Nicas burdening their resources.
Is say fortunately because in many areas of the San Jose Valley Tico no longer want domestic labor jobs, especially the young ones. So the Nicas happily fill them. Same in the US, except mostly with Mexies. No what we have to do to satisfy the labor requirement of our nation while not overburdening the system is so simple.
First: Fence the border. Any property owner needs a fence, period. Obama lost my vote last night when he said “I am not in favor of a Berlin Wall style fence.” Obama, the Berlin Wall separated a nation (Germany), last time I checked the map, US and Mex where still separate countries
Second: 90 days to get all illegal aliens registered. After that, the national guard goes state by state deporting anyone who has not registered and puts them in temporary chain link and tent camps along the border waiting to be deported.
Third: Registration payment becomes due. All who have registered need to pay for their processing and pay a yearly minimum tax, ahead of time just like you do with the BOE in California. Pay a portion of your estimated earning in tax.
Then we stop Mexicans from coming in completely because there are to many of them and open our visa quota to other nationals such as Indians Brazilians etc.
Regarding last night debates. Those who said to resume bilateral trade and get rid of NAFTA and withdraw from World Trade Organization were completely correct. It is killing the middle class. China is to blame for its slave labor practices.
Its funny the so called second tier candidates all had the most progressive and insightful responses. Clinton said “we balanced the budget 7 years ago.” And the guy from Alaska says “Yeah but you sacked Social Security to do it!”
The New Mexico governor was the best by far. Obama looked like a pretty boy with not much substance and Hilary looked like the cat that ate the mouse. As the front runner she was more concerned with what she didn’t say than what she said – which was to complain about Bush.
At least there was some idea being passed around. Although the front runner solidly proved they are more interested in themselves then their duty to the people.
“The American workplace has thus been reduced to a neutral environment.”
Great overall reply. I would amend your statement to “The American culture has become a neutral environment. As far as being masculine goes, I was change it to “the american culture has become a neutered environment.” And that is not good for you gals either. The unacceptability to compliment women reduces males natural hunting instincts. One of the tools of the hunt is chivalry. Would you spend time hunting for something that is unavailable? That is why in the US chivalry is dead. And this relates to the second excellent point you made
“We, as women, are taught that unsolicited compliments are a subtle threat to us.”
Marvy, you are a thinker, obviously quite bright, I ask you to explore that and why you accept those teachings. Please elaborate.
“I think it is one of the most charming aspects of Tico life – their admiration and respect of women.”
This represents my point. Ticos very much still see women as something to be taken care of, something delicate. Feminine. This perception has been lost in the US. I would never want to open a door for Paris Hilton and can you imagine Hilary Clinton as some one who is delicate and you would want to care of? She is an insult to femininity. Now I saw Nancy Regan on TV while in a hotel last night. She is an example of feminine power. Not a woman using masculine power, but a woman commanding respect not only because of her position but because of her femininity. A respect that we men want to give freely, but we do not want to be coerced to respect women if they are exhibiting masculine traits – just because they have different genitals.
Men very much want a feminine counterpart and more so a competent feminine counterpart but not at the sake of sacrificing their masculinity.
That’s why I date simple girls. Even the gal I’m dating now is educated and a high wager earner by CR standards but obviously retains her femininity. How do I know she is feminine, because I instinctually open the door for her, sit her at the restaurant table and converse about the menu and then order what she likes. And she feels complimented that I, the man, handle these trivial yet important tasks. I don’t do that in the US. In the US, I see so many women speaking in loud tones to men and saying things a man would not dare say to another man, for fear of a fist fight, that I have lost my feelings for women as being feminine. They are just neutral. Not a man, not a woman, just neutral. I think that is bad for both men and women. I think the ball is in the women’s court regarding rekindling chivalry in the US male and restoring balance to masculine feminine relations. I fear it has become a lost art. Too bad for women as competence and femininity are an awesome combination that is irresistible to men and further cohesive and natural relationships. The only book I have ever read that addresses these issues somewhat is Dr Laura’s the proper care and feeding of husbands. Although not a great book, certainly a start and worthwhile read.
So would you reply in kind feeling in the US if men called you beautiful or would you find it unattractive? In the US when you pay a woman a compliment as such, they usually do not show any appreciation. In CR when I pay a woman a compliment I get a sincere thank you. For the life of me I do not understand why women cannot realize their feminine power, instead of equating masculine traits with power. That’s for another thread.
However hennalounge, I find your post quite accurate in the way it describes the ambiance and feeling of Costa Rica.
Also I think I deserve at least some acknowledegement of the post I began, at least more than a spelling correction.
