been a few years since I looked into this, but costa rica looked pretty appealing. your dollar will go far in panama, and a nice gated palace will only run you a couple hundred grand. I was turned off by the fact that having a wall around your property seemed to be a necessity, and most of the real estate listings talked about the playful monkeys in your yard eating your fruit from the trees. fuck that shit, I don't want to walk out of my house and run into some asshole fairy ass monkey who is having a bad day.
