[quote=”costaricabill”]Unfortunately, most changes and/or updates to your account must be done in person, because new “signature cards” are usually required.
Just yesterday I went to BNCR to update my account from my passport as ID to my cedula. Only took 10 minutes but I did have to sign new card.
I had a copy of my wife’s passport and a copy of her cedula, but they said she must come in in person.
Also, I hope you are complying with the US FACTA law and reporting your account (IRS form 5471).
If you have all of that sitting in a checking account you could be earning some good interest if you desired. 7% +/- in a dollar savings CD and 12-14% in a colone CD at one of the “cooperatives”. Check out the rates and terms at Coopenae.[/quote]

[quote=”ratus”]Hi all….enough about medical insurance and monthly fees…now for a really IMPORTANT question :)….how do I watch my beloved Saskatchewan Roughriders on TV? I believe the CFL ( Canadian Football League) is available on ESPN3…are there any CFL fans out there, and how do you watch your games?
Gracias[/quote]I think that the only done deal was getting the approval passed in the Sandinista controled congress. Maybe we should call the project the “Sandinista Piñata Deal #2” Only Daniel, Rosario and friends will see any benefit from this and the pueblo will be holding the bag and fleeing to CR looking for work as usual. Let’s get real! The HK Nicaragua Canal Development Investment Co. has no capital, has to raise $40B from investors, has never built anything, has to face very difficult logistical, political and ecological problems. Maybe CR can convince their good “friends” in Beijing to put a stop to this farce (fraud). I just can’t see it happening. Just my opinion.
[quote=”orcas0606″][quote=”johnnyh”]I think that this is a done deal. The Chinese have trillions of soon to be devalued Dollars, so mind as well use them to buy lower priced manipulated gold and invest in prestige projects like the Nicaragua Canal Project. Will there be environmental damage? Sure, but so what. This is the price of progress.
The big question of course will be whether the Nicas will really profit from this as the Chinese will control both sides of the Pacific and Caribbean. Furthermore, when you control the debt of a nation, you control everything. On the other hand, with the Canal Project taking 10 years, a lot can happen.
Of significance is that once it was the United States who led the world in such endeavors. Now it is China.[/quote][/quote]Yer right on Waggoner41 and take note who is the jefe of the project. Gimme a break, a unsuccessful shark fisherman/gun smuggler from Barra Colorado, a Sandinista, a anti Sandinista and would you belive it, next a Sandinista, dredge operator and part of the piñata gang not to mention the the 300 miles. The one and only, Commandante “Zero”, Costa Rica’s favorite adopted son. Where is Ortega trying to blow the hot air?
[quote=”waggoner41″]Total length of the canal would exceed 300 miles vs the 40 miles if the Panama Isthmus.
Good luck.[/quote]

[qFAA predicts 10,000 drones in the skies in the next five years…
Sure doesn’t look like an FAA doc. to me
uote=”Scott”][quote=”DavidCMurray”]Scott, what is [b]Attorney[/b] John Whitehead’s source for all this? As always, where’s the confirmation? From where do the numbers come? Did he take a course in drone law in law school that makes him a credible source? If yes, which law school? [/quote]
This is old news David….

“Based upon the expected regulatory environment, FAA predicts roughly 10,000 active commercial UASs in five years. “

I just don’t understand why anyone would move someplace that they know beforhand that they will miss enough goodies and conveniences to make them unhappy. “I just can’t live with out my grits” LOL
quote=”angela456″]I was just wondering. What is your favorite part of living in Costa Rica and what if anything do you miss about living in the United States (or anywhere else)?
[/quote]Horse meat is quite commonly sold and eaten by Ticos however it is not advertised as such. If you have eaten chorizo or salchichon criollo in CR you have very likely eaten a pony. With all the informal and undercover slaughter houses and butcher shops (midnight cuatreros)the major problem is a health problem.
I am curious to know if horse is commonly eaten in CR, and also if there are any data on the carcinogen/pesticide/hormone level in Tico meat products. Maybe it’s a red herring [fish is good for you!], since Ticos have a comparatively long life span, and breeding does not seem a problem. Or maybe they only sell red meat to gringos?

Sounds like someone is in bed with Monsanto???
[quote=”VictoriaLST”]AM Costa Rica reports today the GMO crops have been planted in CR since 1991! Corn, bananas, pineapple, and cotton are all here. I haven’t heard that anyone has become sick or died from them or that they are pushing out other crops…[/quote]
David, I may be wrong but I always heard that for the customs exemption the time period was 6mos and the visa renewal was 72hrs but hardly ever enforced???? If you are correct it certainly makes it much easier for those expats in this situation.
quote=”DavidCMurray”]If all you’re looking for is a new tourist visa, you need only cross the border out of Costa Rica and then return. The 72 hour rule has to do with renewing your Customs duty exemption privilege. The two are unrelated.
