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 And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise.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!!

DONATE:

CRIME ON BUSES in Costa Rica

I saw on CRHoy.com on March 31, 2014 this note on the buses in Costa Rica with the most crime•assaults that happen ON them.  They are . . .

By Canton•County:
#1  -  San José report the most reported assaults - especially on Bus #157 
#2  -  San Jose-Heredia - #57
#3  -  Limon - #48
#4  -  La Unión de Cartago - #48 (not sure how these are the same???  Anyone figure this out??)

However, when the figures are recorded by District, the worst for assaults goes to:
•  Central Limon #45
•  San Francisco de Heredia Uruca #41
•  San Jose #36

So bottom line - if you're taking these buses be EXTRA CAREFUL and consider carrying a fake wallet with a little $ and an expired credit card in it (and I carry a color copy of my passport anyways so make one for that also.  Do NOT NOT NOT carry your original passport EVER if you don't have to [like you're going to the bank or somewhere an original passport is required].  My real "wallet" does NOT look like a wallet).
