Somethings I learned well preparing….
I don’t need a visa if I come from Canada as long as I don’t work (for money) or stay for longer than 90 days
Public transportation is cheap
Cell phone coverage is good so I will try to buy a chip for my blackberry when I am there..
I learnt from Costa Rica’s SEO that I will work for 2 weeks from 9am to 2 pm with weekends off and then have 2 weeks to travel..
I will be working in downtown San Jose and students from France, Czech Republic, Barcelona, and two from Portugal will be working down the street from me.
Prices for housing range from $100 to 150 USD
Anyways I am really excited as I leave on July 1st!!
Also I learnt that it is a good idea to have half your money in local dollars and half in American dollars
You do need a valid passport
I will be buying travel insurance from SGI (much cheaper than buying it from the airline)
I will update as I remember more details!
