1. Tica's (Costa Rican women) can be very aggressive...if they like you, you'll know it =p

Yes - 100% true

2. You don't need to speak the local language to pick up a girl....body language rules!

Yes - 100% true - same as in any country almost

3. You can either live very cheaply or at just below normal US prices.

Depends where you live - in central San Jose or outside smaller cities yes - in Escazu or Santa Ana - no

4. Tico's wield cars like weapons.

Defensive driving

5. Most non-tica's have zero interest in non-tico men...so if you wanna come down here to pick up European and American women, you're outta luck for the most part.

No idea - no experience here

6. You can go out all night, buy your friends multiple rounds of drinks and walk out spending less than $30.

Yes - 100% true

7. It's cheaper to buy a beer, than a Diet Coke.

Yes - 100% true

8. You can take a weekend trip to the Caribbean for under $80.

Not sure - haven't tried this - if you take the bus I can believe it - driving and the cost of gas - probably a hard figure to match.

9. There are NO street addresses. My current address is one block east of the BurgerKing and one block north of the corner store.

Yes - 100% true - I'm 500 meters from Tony Romas and McDonalds

10. Cable internet is going to cost me almost a third of what I pay for rent.....but rent is around $275 for a 2 bedroom.

Again depends where you live - in Escazu rent is $1K ++ for a fully furnished executive rental with leather couches, plasma TV, etc.
