When I was in the phone with an US customer, and when I asked him "Do you know where is Costa Rica", he told me "Oh yeah, It is in south florida right?". Many US people think Mexico is part of the states and they hear Irak everyday and they dont even know where is located, he said, after I told him we are in Central America...No comments...
Im Costa Rican, and honestly Im surprised for all the mathematical analysis that is being done here...:)
"Costa Rica has spent more than $60,000,000" This is absolutely false, I would like this gentleman to tell me where did he get this information.FYI: The army in CR has been abolished since 1949, since then, the military uniform is prohibited for Policemen and other Special Police Groups. Not even a cent has been invested in a grenade, or rocket, or aircrafts. CR is the envy of the region, 98.5% in phone and electricity national coverage, even better than Mexico(92%) and Argentina(94%); One of the best healthcare levels in Latin America; We have about 400000 inmigrants mainly from Nicaragua, Colombians, Cubans, etc (we are 4 million costaricans). 95% of the people know how to read and write, compared with latin america, this is outstanding. AND THE BEST OF ALL, THAT NOBODY CAN PURCHASE, THE PEACE WE BREATH EVERYWHERE WE GO. Ask northamerican people that have been here and you'll see it by yourself. We are not a rich country, the few money we earn, is invested to provide better education,roads,houses for poor people,etc..., but we make a big effort to live better everyday. as I said before, the richness of a country cannot purchase the most important, the peace of its citizens!! Proud to be Costa Rican!!! Pura vida!
