Hi steemians,
I want to share a real life story that happened to me when I was trying to get to the airport. Thing is that like some cool beaches and mountains we do have really bad and odd things in Costa Rica. You should check out 
@dandays post to see some of the sad reality from an expat point of view. This time I want to warn you about using an Uber. Usually it would be as simple as calling it using the app, most are pretty cool drivers and service is pretty amazing compare to the official taxis (red ones). There are an specific taxi type for the airport (orange ones) they are supposed to give a better experience, speak English fluently and be kind, but truth is they are rude and expensive. Well I couldn't get to the airport by Uber because they are afraid of the official taxis and getting in trouble with them, think like a sort of mafia. Fare was supposed to be around $5 using Uber ended up paying $9 with red taxi and I know I've been charged $20 using the orange ones. The bus ride which may be uncomfortable bit cheap as $2.
That's it I just wanted to share this with you and back up and support honest posts just like @dandays and why some people leave and never come back to a country that other wise would be a very popular destination and booming every year instead they are making sure that the source of employment gets away.
