Good points, and I have considered them as well.

I have made a few tours of the areas with problems, meet with a few
Architects and Engineers and see a great possibility of introducing new
technologies and cleaning up a few messes. All business have competition,
but I have a Tico partner in my business that is very exicted about a “new” way
of doing things. Most of the tecnologies that I saw was 20-30 years behind the times.

Water reuse is key to sustainable development. The future will demand more intense conservation, water reuse technologies and management.

Win, loose or draw; I intend to have some fun and do my part in trying to make the worlds waters cleaner and safer. Sure I want to make money, but that is not the most important issue for me. It is hard to put a dollar value on making positive environmental changes and cleaning up a polluted river or stream.

Thanks for the effort, I appreciate it.

I have had some success with translation programs as long as I could cut and paste the words.

Learning a new language in ones home country is more difficult because it is hard to find Spanish speakers with whom to practise. I am looking forward to my week long visit so that I can immerse myself in Spanish and really get a work out.

I am very optimistic and persistant. I am sure I can help solve the well acknowledged waste water problems and help the environment. This is my passion.

Thanks!

I am not fluent at this time, but I have been studying for about 6 months and speak broken Spanish. I do indeed plan to become fluent.

Excellent Post! Thank you.

Forget about work and just “enjoy” the country.
Make a plan, visit, tour the country and scope out the areas
that you are interested in. If you have a unique skill set or
know some friends in CR visit with them and discuss the issues.

Relax, take a deep breath and eat a fresh pineapple.

Looks like I’d better be getting my money up front on this one!

Yikes!

I just got a call about doing some wastewater engineering on this project.
This guys owns two lots and it looks I will be designing a treatment system
to clean the water to secondary standards, and then use a part of this treated
water for subsurface irrigation.

Wish me luck!
