Gary Null

-More emails and questions about how I ended up in LA

-How Costa Rica got on the radar as a hot destination, and why it deserves to be shoved off the list

-There’s a steady flow illegal Nicaraguans sneaking into Costa Rica - due to the menial jobs that Costa Ricans feel they are too proud to do (sound familiar?) 

-How immigration laws work (and don’t work) for both Latins and 1st Worlders. Crossing boarders within the 20 Latin American countries - and the strange case of Mexico

-The LA version of big brother, excessive bureaucracy, and out of control tax policies 

-More on the special altiplano regions- those particular cities and towns in LA over 3000 feet in elevation where you get ideal eternal spring-like weather all year round

-More on the LA countries I would personally never want to live in (and some I wouldn’t even want to visit if you paid me!)
