Costa Rica Internet Portal

Costa Rica is a country located In central America, between Nicaragua and Panama, Nicaragua to the north

and Panama to the South, at the West the Pacific ocean and to the East the Atlantic Ocean, it's Rather small

51.100km2 To have some idea of what that means the whole country can be fitted about 3 times in the florida

panhandle, yes it is that small, there are some some mountains in it where you can actually see both oceans at

the same time !, Politically it's divided in 7 provinces, San José, Alajuela, Heredia, Cartago, Puntarenas, Guanacaste

and Limón, being San José the capital, downtown San José, or San José City, Is just a normal town, for a third

world country, do not confuse this with, the idea that people have that you can see mules or horses on a daily

One Factor That I think that is very Important for someone to visit or move to another country is the fact that they can or can't access the same television programs that he/she was used to, well here is the TV situation here, First of all there's cable tv, where you get most of the mayor networks of USA but with one difference, they are the LatinAmerican Version HBO-LA, FOX-LA ( LA stands for Latinamerica ) ABC feed at least where I live is the same as in USA as well as MSNBC
you you'll get NFL, NBL, and most of those ( not NHL, you kinda get that on ESPN ), and yes we have ESPN1 ESPN2, ESPN2 is some sort of combination of an LA ESPN with ESPN2 content, Of course you'll have CNN, CNN HEADLINE NEWS and other, now you get Nickelodeon, CartoonNetwork, FOX Kids ( with another name JexIT), and well, what I really REALLY hate is that on Cable we don't get NBC, so there's no leno or connan, there are some old connan broadcasts on MSNBC but that really annoys me.
