Meat is difficult here. Just had the worst tenderloin of my life in an Argentinian place in SJ. Beef was I mported from Nicaragua, probably fed with cocaine π
No taste, no crisp, no texture, colored like pork. Just awful, at least they gave me a discount and were very glad for the honest criticism.
If you want to look for nice climate, try weatherspark.com. They graph every aspect of climate and you can compare and overlay the graphs. Amazing


BTW most of the cost is due to the "gringo tax", which apparently applies to - more or less - all imports, and is roughly 100% on top. I guess if you just get fruit, herbs, rice, beans and fish, you can create something truly delicious for little money. But seems like tourists don't value that enough.
The high cost is mostly for foreign stuff, but the hotels seem to want to offer the guests Coca Cola and french wine instead of the excellent local fruit juices and coffees. For the general population, packages foods (i.e. poison) seem to be highly desirable, so they seem to spend all their money on it, and get fat like hell. They just can't resist the flavored sugar Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
Climate in the central valley is absolutely perfect: 18Β°C at night, 26Β°C daytime. Every day, ear in year out. Enough rain, only excessive during summer afternoons.
Definitely not oppressive. Coast is different. Very hot and quite dry during winter.
The drawback is, the central valley is mostly San JosΓ©, which is a shithole in my eyes. Although there are areas a bit remote from The Big Shittyβ’ which share the same climate, like San Ramon, Grecia and a few others. I'm still discovering here.
Anyone interested in... tuberculosis chips? π

Dead giveaway is the high humidity level of 60% in this pic. Normal humidity on board of planes is in the 30's.
PV! All the rage on X these days, are photos of sensors showing extreme CO2 levels on board of airplanes.
This is very easy to fake, using your own breath. Put sensor into plastic bag, breathe into it, wait for air to cool off, take foto, enjoy outrage. Cheap. Don't fall for it.

Uau, whale done!

You gotta hand it to Karl Marx, he really was true to his ideology in his private life:
- He thought of himself as morally superior while completely failing at living an even halfway decent life, let alone contributing to society
- He continuously took money from the rich capitalist and never honestly tried to earn his own money, instead criticizing those who did
- He caused the death of the majority of his family by neglect and poverty
- He died poor after screwing the people surrounding him, including his close family
He really is a true hero of his people.

Fiestas in Costa Rica seem to be on the louder side. I'm getting a 100dB warning from my watch π
It's fabulous, but as expensive as Europe & US, and a lot of third-worldy things, like rusty corrugated sheet metal roofs, unpaved roads, and lots of people with extremely high time preference. But nature is incredible, climate is super pleasant in the highlands, and enormously fertile.
Costa Rica, Guanacaste province
Phew indeed. Took a while ;)
