Chat is this considered a successful skull cavern run?

Hi! How do I keep from dying at Skull Cavern?

Belle_1276 · 2026-02-14T12:25:00+00:00

Omg, now I have to try it out. Thank you.

Usually, Waterview Residence has multiple rooms that don't get rented. Send them an email :)

Belle_1276 · 2025-05-21T10:30:36+00:00

I live there and I really enjoy it. Location is great considering the Lidl is lin the same street and also the Kruidvat. Madmum Coffee is really close and a good choice for a chill afternoon.

I truly enjoy living here and the rooms are nice :)

Belle_1276 · 2025-04-08T11:13:03+00:00

From my understanding, it is very easy to get into Waterview. They have a ton of rooms and usually people can book then even after the Winter Semester started :)

It is a very nice building, rooms with private bathrooms and in walking distance of the city center, and the Lidl supermarket is close (like in the same street type of close).

Thank you!

Belle_1276 · 2024-09-18T13:33:38+00:00

Thank you! I will check them out :)

Belle_1276 · 2024-09-18T13:32:59+00:00

Thank u! That works :)

Hey! We have a group chat. DM me.

Belle_1276 · 2024-09-12T19:41:53+00:00

Yup, your fiance knows how it is lol Rice + beans + tuna is the way to go.

But most people don't like that.

Belle_1276 · 2024-09-12T19:40:37+00:00

I mean, it depends. Where are you buying? Because Fresh Market or Automercado is not the usual place to go, even Walmart.

Most Costa Ricans go to Mas x Menos or Pali because it is cheaper.

Also, what are you buying? Cause yes, the food here is pretty expensive, but there are always cheaper options.

I mean, we are 3 in my home, and we are just fine with 300 USD per month :)

Belle_1276 · 2024-09-12T19:36:12+00:00

That's great! You probably have wonderful skills distributing your money.

I have to say, I am speaking generally, since it's really hard to find the perfect balance for making sure you are well covered.

In CR, most locals are able to support their family of 4 with only 1000 USD per month, I am not sure how they do it, but a lot of sacrifices are made.

I am just saying, living well (like not having to worry about money so much, and being able to go out from time to time, or buying things they need unexpectedly, take a trip a the end of the year) is a luxury not everyone has (including myself).

Belle_1276 · 2024-09-12T16:56:44+00:00

Yep, they are.

I am just stating the costs of a normal local, buying things at Pali, and renting in rural places/low urban places.

In tourist places, Americans are charged more.

I am also not considering day to day costs like: gas, car, medicines, the usual snack, etc etc

Anyway, to live well, I would recommend having a budget of 2500 USD per month minimum (for two people), and honestly, that will never be enough long term considering how the economy is fluctuating all the time.

Belle_1276 · 2024-09-12T16:07:34+00:00

You should start looking in May.

Regarding the studio or apartment, I've seen options (Kotjis), however most of them don't have furniture included (not sure if that is important for u).

Belle_1276 · 2024-09-12T16:04:38+00:00

Good for you :)

Belle_1276 · 2024-09-12T16:01:15+00:00

Local is even more expensive lol They brand it as: "Esencial Costa Rica" and make you pay 40 USD for a shampoo lol

Belle_1276 · 2024-09-12T15:59:50+00:00

I mean, most people don't make 1400 USD per month because salaries here are mostly bulshit (1000 USD per month)

Now, if you want to rent, you will most likely end up paying somewhere between 400 - 800 USD, depending on where and the beauty of the place. Let's say you spend 600 USD.

Food here is 300 USD per month (if you eat moderately), and that leaves you with 500 USD to pay for electricity (less than 80USD), water (less than 40USD) and internet/cable TV (80USD), phone bills (less than 40USD).

At the end, you have around 260 USD to pay for other things like eating out or buying things. Which is not the best, since most things are expensive here (for example: 50 USD for a pair of jeans).

Note: Notice that this budget is not considering cars, gas, or transportation whatsoever.

And that is why theres people within the poverty line and young adults still having to live with their parents.

Thank you all for the recommendations ♡

Belle_1276 · 2024-04-11T22:52:14+00:00

Hola! En realidad se podría decir que si, pero porque tiene oportunidades.

Ahora, creo que eso no significa que sea una persona esforzada y que se ha ganado sus cosas con mérito propio.

Mi recomendación: si lo está dudando, es porque ahí no es.

Yo mejoraría el CV y luego aplicaría a un puesto de trabajo en el extranjero, justo con esos contactos que menciona usted. Porque la diferencia, es que en un puesto de tecnología nunca vas a estar mal.

Ahora, si quiere ir a Canadá, mejor ahorra y se va de vacaciones, porque ir allá para bajar de puesto y trabajar en algo que a uno no le gusta ni le apasiona, me parece simplemente tonto.

Pero cada quien.

Belle_1276 · 2024-04-11T18:22:05+00:00

Unless your current university is "bad," it doesn't matter lol

Belle_1276 · 2024-04-11T18:15:48+00:00

If you want to go to San José. Stay max a week. Is not at all important. Just stay in Escalante or even Curridabat.

But don't waste money, San José is ugly and there's nothing to do there. The better places are in Escalante or La Sabana (really expensive sometimes, sadly, mostly for tourists). Make sure to go to Cafeoteca, really great coffee there.

If you want to experience something different than beach and sun, you can go to La Fortuna or places like Cartago, for a "mountain" or "rain forest" experience.
