Panama vs CR
I was in Panama (city) last year.
Like it a lot. Taxis cost $1.00 within the city (generally)
for most trips. Hotels can be quite reasonable.
May move there one day.
As previously stated: can receive change in local currency
(if u can ask for US and they´ll usually give it to u without problems).
CR: different kettle of fish.
Was last there around 4 years ago and found it quite expensive.
If I remember u can use dollars without problems.
Regards,
John
