San Jose - Post Report Question and Answers

Morale among expats:

Good, I think, outside of the embassy. Poor in the embassy community. - Jun 2013


Not that great. This is a very laid-back country with no sense of urgency here so therefore nothing ever seems to get done. - Aug 2011


I think it is really good. Costa Rica has the happiest people on earth, and expats who live here also enjoy their country. The embassy is always organizing events, and the employees are very active and friendly. - Feb 2010


Depends - some like living in San Jose while others complain that they think it's boring. It definitely can be if you never leave to explore the rest of Costa Rica -- the best of the countries lies outside of the city! - Jan 2010


Varies wildly - depending who they are and why they're there. - Jul 2008
