F*** off
I really enjoy this show, and the others in the series. There are such huge cultural and language issues that these gringos are choosing to ignore, which makes the show fun to watch. For the record, “Love in Paradise – The Caribbean”, is far from correct. Costa Rica is NOT an ISLAND and it is located on the PACIFIC, not the Caribbean.
With that said we watch this program and see these US citizens stumble and fumble because of their own stupidity and ignorance of other cultures and other countries.
Amber goes to Costa Rica and hates it. She complains but she has no idea what is the real Costa Rica. She is visiting one of the most famous Tourist hangouts in this country. The prices are in dollars in Jaco to please the tourists, and the Ticos working in Jaco speak English language to extract from them as many dollars as possible. There is nothing about Jaco that is Costa Rica. It is hot and humid with lots of insects and tourists. Yeah, it is on the beach!
Daniel is from Venezuela. He escaped Venezuela and I am happy for him, but Costa Rica is a stepping stone to get to the USA. He is lazy and manipulative. He is using Amber to get him and his family green cards in the USA. I am sad for Amber. She is being used. She complains about supporting him there in Jaco, but she probably does not know that she will have to sponsor him and be financially responsible for him for 10 years before Daniel can get a green card. That is a lot of years to support a parasite.
The Boca de Torro islands are part of Panama but are adjacent to Costa Rica. This is also a big tourist area where many residents must learn English to serve the tourists. So here we have Mark, a gringo from California, who says he loves a sweet Argentinean woman. Ten years ago he did not speak Spanish and Key did not speak English. She goes into rehab in Argentina and her family accepts Mark into their home so he can comfort Key in the hospital. Mark said that “he had to leave Argentina” because “Nobody speaks English!” Hell, man; it is Argentina and the language is Spanish. Mark, it is their house in Argentina. How can you reasonably expect them to speak English to please you? The arrogance is unbelieveable.
Key contacts Mark after ten years and he returns to Boca de Torro. He thinks that he will convince Key to move to California since Key learned some English. He is still arrogant and thinks California is better than Boca de Torro, which Key loves. In addition, Mark did not, and will not, study Spanish. Key, this guy is a selfish loser.
I visited Costa Rica at least 6 times over a period of decades and never had a bad experience. I also visited 50 or so other countries, but liked Costa Rica the most. After evaluating where to retire for several years, and changing my selection two times, I sold everything and moved to Costa Rica eleven years ago.
The first thing that I did after deciding to relocate was to study Spanish. I still study and practice every day. Spanish was difficult at first, but now is rewarding. US Americans have a reputation here in Costa Rica, and around the globe, as arrogant and acting like the USA is the center of the universe. There is this general attitude among these uniformed gringos that everything should operate as it does the US. They do not get the concept of other countries, other governments and other cultures function differently. Just because it is different; it is not “wrong”. It simply is different. They never take the time to learn and to embrace the differences.
I married a Tica after living here more than 7 years. She only speaks Spanish. Spanish is the language of this country, why should I want her to speak English? Her family and friends speak only Spanish. Who is responsible to learn the language in order to communicate? (Think about that Mark.) I am very fortunate to have this wonderful Costa Rican woman as my wife and I love here large family.
We live in the mountains where it is cool and free of insects. We are surrounded by the beauty of nature and fantastic vistas. I embraced the culture, the country and the language and have been rewarded with a new life that I find to be superior to the USA, especially the health care in Costa Rica.
My heart surgery in San Jose was completely covered by insurance. There were no deductibles, no co-pays only careful and attentive doctors and nurses using up to date equipment. How I am going to pay for emergency medical attention in my later years is something I do not worry about any more.
We watch many gringos decide to move here. They are ignorant and have not done any research about the country, culture or the people. Of course they fail. They come with the attitude that Costa is the southern most part of the USA. They think all people here need to understand English language. Often we hear, “Who here speaks English?” This arrogance and their flaunting the dollar has contributed to the dislike of US Americans here; and in other countries. It is sad to see this happen, but it is their fault for not researching and renting before moving. They think it will be like the TV show “House Hunters International”, which really belongs on the Comedy Channel.
As for the others in the program, I have visited Jamaica and Barbados. Both of the women on the show are not thinking clearly. These men are happy with their island life. They regularly have flings with the tourists and then go back to living their island life. Do these women think that their US dollars will make a difference to these men? Why would they consider marriage and relocating to the USA? Jamaica and Barbados have lots of tourists and the people that live on these tourist islands like the US dollars. These guys have a happy life. They meet many beautiful tourists with money and they don’t need, or want, these clingy women in their lives permanently. They are happy with their life as it is.
All in all it is fun to watch these gringos make fools of themselves. It is great television. We look forward to each episode. I am sad when I see the arrogance and ignorance of these US Americans. I honestly believe that the US Americans on the program will not find happiness and love unless they change their attitudes.
