Colombia is hit and miss, depends on the city. Costa Rica has a huge ex-pat community. Philippines is a 3rd world shit hole.

I've lived in all three and if had to choose one to return to, it would be Costa Rica or Colombia, with Colombia probably winning simply because it's a little rough around the edges in some areas, and I like that.

From what I've heard about these three places, Costa Rica..
I've known people from the Phillipines, and people who've been to Costa Rica..
I'd definitely be in Costa Rica in a fucking heartbeat if I could afford the move... fuck yeah

:thumbsup

I would choose Costa Rica.

The Bahamas.

ive only been to PI and it was a dump... that being said i have monger friends who've been to all these places and while thailand is usually their #1, they said by far columbina is their #2 in terms of a place they'd live if single...

Costa Rica! :)

Because you've lived in Thailand, you would be disgusted with Costa Rica. There is no comparison.

If you don't want to keep it east and go to the Phillipines, then Colombia will be more what you're looking for.

Hi

I am from Costa Rica.

And it is a great country to live, and because it is a small country everything is near, is you want to go to a mall to buy something you have to drive half hour as much, or if you wanna go to the beach they are a lot of options. If you are in the capital of Costa Rica, San Jose and you wanna go to the beach it will take you 2 hours to get to the beach. The peole is very nice and a lot of people are coming to here to invest and the best is the real state has really low prices.

Hope this help you to decide! hehe

of those i would say costa rica

why would he be disgusted. just curious.

I've spent a lot of time in Colombia, been all over Philippines and currently reside in Thailand. Don't know much about Costa Rica.

Philippines: At one time I was thinking about moving there. I'm not sure what I was thinking and came to my senses. No disrespect to the guys who do live there, but outside of just a few select areas and natural zones, the places is a shit hole. Great pussy though, those girls love to fuck and speak English.

Colombia: If I was not making my money in Thailand, I would currently be living there. Colombia rocks.

Thailand: I'm here for the money. However, once the Thai tap runs dry, I'm heading back to Colombia, or if by that time Cuba is open, I may head there. Thailand, I hope, is not a long term solution for me.

I'd like to hear more on this please.

what do you like so much about colombia? and do you speak spanish?

Philippines, but only because I happen to like 3rd world shit holes :(

If I was looking for a country to settle down (even if only a little :winkwink:) it would be Colombia. Love the people there.

South Africa, no?

:1orglaugh fucking ticos.

Well I'm assuming it's from a mongering perspective... The girls are overpriced for what you get and have bad attitudes. With very few exceptions, they are clock watchers and you will never get a true GFE. Americans only come here because it's close, the ones who discover Thailand usually never come back here. The beach towns are way overpriced and have very little residential options, so unless you want to spend several k a month living in a hotel, you have to live in the city, which is dirty, polluted, loud, and traffic packed.

Price-wise it's not much cheaper than living in the united states, in fact some things are more expensive. People who moved here 5 years ago to save money are leaving.

I've never been to Thailand, but I've compared notes with many people who have, it seems a lot nicer. Maybe the grass is always greener?

I speak enough to get around and get by, but I'm not fluent. If I can relocate there in a few years, I would fix that though. I'm stuck in Thailand for the time being, and FUCK ME that language is hard.

Colombia just has a certain charm about it. I can't put it into words, you just have to see it for yourself. I could write a book on why I love Colombia, but it wouldn't do it justice. You just gotta go and roam about!

Coasta Rica +1

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh ...

Ask Lykos, he was in all that places ;)

why do you guys wanna live in the third world?

Canada is the best place to live in. Look at that list of best countries in the world. Every year Canada is like #5 or something.

It's warm all year in Costa Rica? Yeah?
What about Thailand and Columbia?

thailand is the shit. but it has one hell of a rainy season...

i will take note of all that places is best place to live!!!!

Canadian girls are sweet and they do drink a lot...

Not sure about colombia but you will have your pick of plenty of single white boys in both Costa Rica and the Phillipines
Good luck

Costa Rica has a dry and rainy season, but it's always warm (unless you're in the cloud forest, where it's *drum roll* cold...It's not Canada cold, but you need a sweater during the day and jacket on some nights...).

It totally depends where you are in Colombia...Bogota, the capital, is always a bit chilly because it's altitutde is 2,640 metres. i.e. When I first went, I got a bit of altitude sickness, but maybe I'm a puss.

I've never been in any but If I had to chose I would chose somehow Coasta Rica.

I have been to San Jose costa rica twice and it is not somewhere I would feel safe living. Its ok during the day however at night you have to take cabs everywhere even a 5 minute walk as so many tourists are getting robbed.

Coasta Rica !

It's COSTA Rica, not coasta.

I Live in Colombia right now and it would stay so for a while.

I have visited many countries (Panama, Spain, Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria)

And I have lived in Germany 13 years and in Texas 4 years.

Must say all those places are fine but for sure Colombia is one of the places in the world that you must visit. The people are so Friendly and Open, The girls are Beautiful and Easy to approach. Its Cheap to go arround or to Eat and you can have a Blast without spending much.

:)

Bob Costas Rica?

I've never been to the other two but Costa Rica is amazing!
