omg…..what was I thinking? That I could dare to enter into a discourse with such a dazzling intellect as yours, and against one who possesses such powers of reasoning, and such talent at research…….I’m sore ashamed, and I hearby withdraw from this discussion…….you win
Not necessarily more acceptable, but perhaps more common. If you find a Mastercard logo, then obviously you should have no problem using such.

[quote]Dear Mr. CopI apologize that my writings and perhaps my ignorance has caused you so much anger. I claim no expertise in Costa Rica, just that I have been travelling there for many years andhave made good friends there.
With regards to “Mr. Sanchez”; I know what I read but perhaps it a lesson in not to believe everything you read.
My purpose of connecting with this social network is to engage with people who can offer constructive advise about an idea I am exploring. Fortunately I have received that from others.[/quote]
I don’t know why you think you have angered me. Quite the contrary. I was merely trying to correct [what looks to me] to be some errors in your information, and assist you in avoiding some of the mistakes that so many have made before you in regards to their thinking about this country. Of course you should not believe everything you read, nor should you take to heart each and every response you receive on a forum such as this one (including mine). I am not at all convinced that CR is ready for all that much live music, but you should remember that a lot of my thinking is colored not only by my own ‘baggage,’ but by where I live, and the people with whom I come into contact on a regular basis.
Not everyone active on this forum is young, single, rich, or in any way looking for an active night life, let alone, a very active social life, other than home and close friends.
[quote=”Boaterbob”][quote=”jdocop”]Bob said, in part: “With Mr. Sanchez recently signing a bill to prioritize and incentivize North American retirees I believe there is going to be a significant increase of people getting tired of the USA Politics and government intervention in their lives”.
Bob, who is this Mr. Sanchez you referred to, and what does he have to do with encouraging retirees to live in Costa Rica?
Beyond that, I am totally with Maravilla. I have no interest in being part of a large, noisy crowd, in a crowded venue, simply to hear music played too loud.[/quote]I was referring to President Oscar Arias Sanchez. There was a bill singed into law in CR about 2 weeks ago that creates incentives for promoting North American retirees to move to Costa Rica. Some actual words used in the artical was “Making it a national priority”. I don’t have the details on it but I read several articles; one pre-signing and the other was the day after he signed it. I’m sure you can find it using your browser. The initial article made reference to some incentives that would be provided to developers who would be catering to that demographic.[/quote]
Bob, if you’d check your facts, I think you would find that the current President of Costa Rica has signed no such bill. Some folks have postulated that such might be a good idea, but I do not believe that the legislature has passed any such measure. Meanwhile, if you have indeed spent all that much time here you would know that the President is not referred to as Mr. Sanchez, since Sanchez is NOT his last name, but the name of his mother. Likewise, if you had spent that much time here you would know that that ‘grand’ project over by Limon has encountered a number of obstacles, and is likely to never be carried forward, like so many other projects around the country.
