I was not being critical of the political system that exists in Costa Rica. From all that I have read so far, I believe that it is a great place to live and I do ,indeed, like the idea of a society that makes provision for the needs of most of its citizens. I guess it’s the high school English teacher that is still in me that makes me want words to be used accurately…. thus my questioning the word socialist being used as what I considered a political term.
Why do you refer to Costa Rica as a socialist country? I looked it up to be sure of myself, and its political system is that of a demeocratic republic. I’m enjoying learning about Costa Rica and the people who have moved there from the forum, but everyone should try to avoid misinfomation that misleads people who are considering a move there. Most of the postings are opinion, and differences of opinion, political or otherwise, existss everywhere.
Thank you, costaricafinca, for the reference to the Women’s Club of Costa Rica. This is just the sort of thing I was thinking about…. an opportunity to meet people, get involved, and do good things. I’m sure this would enable one to experience cultural involvement with people of different backgrounds and cultures. I only mentioned bridge and golf because they were more specific as I was asked to be. I personally play golf very little, and do so mainly because it is a popular activity in the retirment community in which I live. I was really hoing to get an introduction to some women who would be willing to communicate on line – kind of mae some friend before we actually come to CR.
I would be interested to know how they socialize with other women. Do they play bridge, do they play golf, do they meet with other women to go out to lunch or to go shopping or just to talk? I’m not trying to live the same life I have in the US, just need to know I can connect with others like myself – not just Americans.
