ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

TRAFFIC WARNING - Motorcycle Protest - Noviembre 27

THROUGHOUT PARTS OF SAN JOSE

Motorcyclists protested again Tuesday November 26, 2012
After the government refused to met with them they ALL rode together from the INS (National Insurance Institute) building in Downtown San Jose - blocking major intersections as well as the General Cañas Highway - causing some BIG TIME traffic backup - as they made their way up to the Presidential Palace in Zapote where they ended up sieging the entrances for 3 hours.

They were basically protesting INS and the increase in the Marchamo.
(what gets me is the Marchamo in Costa Rica includes Liability Insurance and if I'm basing on what I see on the street WHO causes and has the MOST accidents - I'd say MOTORCYCLISTS who OFTEN seem to have a Death Wish.  So perhaps some of the increase is because of THEIR actions?????  Ya think??)


The U.S. Embassy even made a WARNING to the U.S. citizens (probably because one of the recent protests ended up in violence - but also to forewarn Americans that foreigners are NOT permitted to get involved in protests, etc.)

Motociclistas planean protestar de nuevo este martes
(protestando el aumento de la Marchamo
[lo que me molesta es la Marchamo en Costa Rica incluye seguro de responsabilidad civil y si me baso en lo que veo en la calle que hace y tiene la mayoría de los accidentes - Yo diría que los motociclistas que a menudo parecen tener un deseo de muerte. Así que tal vez una parte del incremento se debe a sus acciones????? Ya parece??])
