Well....For those of us who live and work in Costa Rica, the yearly "closure" of the country is almost up. Starting December 1st, the yearning for the holiday season is felt throughout the country. The workplaces are filled with busybodys rushing around, trying to get their work done before the end of the year. As the days pass towards the middle of the month, although the work force is physically present, they have already gone on mental vacation.
On the 19th of December, government offices are closed, no more lawyers, no more architects, no real estate transactions with the absence of the National registry, etc...
Being a workaholic, I always play stubborn and assume that the biggest deals are going to take place when the rest of the world is asleep. I take a one week vacation, this year to Colombia with my wife and daughter, only to come back to the office on the 29th...As I arrived at the office on the 29th, I felt like I was the last man standing. A strange aura surrounded the generally packed office complex...After working from teh 29th - 31st, and getting some organizational work done, one slowly starts to see the return of the life to the city of San Jose. A mass exodus of the beach travelers head back to the city...the grovcery stores start to fill back up, restaurants start to open, and of course, the shopping centers and movie theaters are back to capacity...
Well, 2009 is finally among us, and time to get back to work. From the balcony of my home, I watch the traffic pass along the highway, heading through the main thoroughfare of Escazu...Time to get back to work. So, pack your bags, come to Costa Rica, and seek out the best opportunities that 2009 has to offer
