How you like Costa Rica? We've been eyeing it as a vacation spot for a while now. I'd love to hear a local's perspective, particularly a immigre!

It's a good place Rick! It is just *very* different to Europe, US or I assume Canada. The climate is excellent tho there is a "rainy season" (but not much rain so far!).
The people are very friendly - that ranges from officials (cops etc) to ... anyone! Nothing is a "big deal" and they will roll their sleeves up and get a "hands on" - really nice people.
From a net angle... yea.. there is an appeal! There are no taxes as such for webmasters. The cost of living is.. pretty damned low:-)
From a tourist side... to be safe and out of the rainy season, it's probably better here when it is winter in Canada. That is the "summertime" here. There is loads of place to see... ranging from eco-forests, volcanic areas to "paradise" beaches.
So far, I think it's a nice place - especially for "quality of life"! :-)
