And where are you shopping personally .

[@LiveSlowDieWhenever]

Good morning 👋 I primarily shop at that store. It's less than a kilometer from my house, so easy walk there a 3 mil tuk tuk home with my groceries 😀 Every other day I am up there. There is a steady re-stock and I get my fresh protein depending on what I am craving. If you get friendly with the store managers they will get special things they usually don't carry...ie...they now carry Original Mt Dew 😀

Hey how much is rent in Puerto Viejo and crime ?

[@LiveSlowDieWhenever]

$400 on up for a studio or 1 br. $700 and up for a furnished 2+ bedroom with utilities...up to a certain point with electrical. I pay $800 and have an awesome place with a view....video posted 3 months ago. Feel free to ask for any other information ☺️

@@LiveSlowDieWhenever How is the weather? (I've heard it's only good for 4 months) . Because I think about moving to costa rica . But I also have Vietnam and Thailand as an option

[@LiveSlowDieWhenever]

@taaest-xek oh goodness you are opening up a can of worms with that one in Costa Rica. Generally speaking December to May is the dry season, but usually starts raining around noon or so, just like Florida or Thailand...South...not Chang Mai. I've been on the Caribbean 6 months now...mid to upper 80s during the day. Central and Southern valley areas usually stays 75 to 80. Pacific beaches a bit shorter. I was on my way to SE Asia a few years ago...Covid came so I moved back here.

@taaest-xek there are 13 or 17 different micro climates here...just like Thailand....you can find your sweet spot pretty easily 😉
