I live in Costa Rica as a retiree (Jubilato)  I live amid a family that is enormous and takes up the houses on both sides of an entire street.  I love them and they are very kind to me.  No one speaks English in my province and certainly not in my neighborhood.\n\nMy three-room apt. costs $200/mo in dolores, and I pay $40.00 for all utilities, cable included.  Food is remarkably cheap unless it is canned.  Fresh tropical fruit and vegies are sooo cheap and everywhere you look.  A huge pineapple can cost a little as $0.70.  Lots of fresh fish and everyone eats a lot of chicken.  Rice and beans are popular with Ticos.  I like 'em too and all very inexpensive.  \n\nOnly electronics are really expensive.  Everytime I go to the states, I bring back a good used comuputor and an lcd flat screen monitor or a laptop.  Some of that stuff will cost two or three times the cost in the states.  If  it's used there is no tarrif.\n\nYou can buy a nice home for $60,000, a new one.  Neighborhoods are funny.  No zoning so in older neighborhoods you have lovely homes cheek by jowel with people who keep a land fill unless you get into a new up-scale residential..  \n\nYou can only stay 90 days on a tourist visa, and then you must leave the country for 72 hours and get your passport stamped for either Panama or Nicaragua.  You can go through immigration, but you better do some close checking. I meet an occasional Grino and some do it one way some the other, and a few old farts, just stay and to hell with it.  I suspect they left the States one step ahead of the sheriff.\n\nYou should work up enough Spanish for a communacative  competency.  This is not too hard, it's not Russian.  If you live in one of the resort places on one of the coasts, you have lots of Gringos around and easy women who speak enough to get the job done.  \n\nI find those Gringos, or at least many of them, really objectionable.  I think they must be Republicans, always complaining that it's not like this at home, and disliking the poverty they see that is really caused by their own country's avoriciousness.  You might never eat another Chaqueeta banana if you see how their workers must live.  Dole is worse.  Don't ask me about the general opinion of Bush and his activities.\n\nYou better come and stay a couple months and see what you think.

I don't quite understand what you are asking. I would think that the address at which you recieved your mail would be your residence. Do you recieve mail (i.e. car payments, bank statements, mortgage) in Colorado or California?

no - there are delivery reciepts, but if the mail server doesn't support them, then you won't ever get one from that person.

It depends on the mail service provider. If its a free service, its difficult as you have unmatched the security question. If its a paid mail, you contact the administrator or webmaster who can help you.\n\nCheers\n\nShaba!

Unfortunately, I don't know much about Costa Rica.  But my term of service ended in December of 2005 in Tanzania, East Africa -- that's a whole different world!\n\nI hope you know about the airport security.  Especially in America, you will find that they have very strict regulations.  Put anything remotely dangerous -- like nail files or scissors -- in your checked baggage.  If it's in your carry-on bag, they will just put it in the trash.  You and your carry-on bag will be searched thoroughly, especially because you are travelling one-way.  To make it easier all around, wear shoes that you can take off and put on quickly.  Believe me, it will make a huge difference!  They ran a wand even over my feet, but all of the metal detectors now require you remove your shoes -- and too many travellers regret wearing lace-up boots.  \n\nBeyond the warnings about going through the airport, I would say that the most useful thing I brought with me was a solar-powered battery charger.  You will be surprised just how much you can find in the towns, like radios and walkmans.  My area didn't have anything in the way of CDs, but it's only a matter of time.  There also may be Internet access available, but don't depend on it.  Even where it's available, it depends on electricity or a generator, it depends on the day everyone decides to be in town, etc.  \n\nOh, and don't expect everyone to know Spanish over there either!  There's a really good chance that you'll find tribal languages among the people you become acquainted with.  I know I did!  I had to learn Swahili in training, and then I found myself using Kigogo in the village area!  Be prepared to learn new vocabulary in a local language, and new vocabulary/slang in Spanish -- you'll need it!  \n\nOkay, checked the website and it says they have strong technology...  So you might be able to plan on email and cell phone service!  \n\nI can't think of anything else at the moment, but if you want to ask about things just let me know!  Good luck and I hope you find someone who knows your country!\n\n\nConsidering your third answerer:\nOkay, you now have information from someone who has experienced that country you can visit.  Given the difference described, I would say that you may disregard much of what I wrote!  It's difficult to remember just how much variety there is between the countries, but sounds like you have been chosen for a good and progressive country.  Congratulations and good luck in your service!

8 weeks.  It has to go via China, Cambodia, India, Kenya, and Spain.  \n\nThere is no direct mail from Canada to the US as a result of the Postal Treaties act of 1947 and recent court cases won by the letter carriers union.  \n\nHope is wasn't perishable.
