Let the games begin. Please report back on your pain and misery, so we all learn from you.
Two years ago - I brought a tica back to Chicago, who occaisonally worked the BB. She also had a tourism business and spoke great english. She lived in the US for a period and already had a US passport. I had no plans to have a relationship. Just told her she could hang and explore the city for a few weeks. She really seemed like a great chick.
Thank god, I didn't sponsor her!!! Within two days, I was ready to ship her back to CR via any method possible, including the back of a donkey.
I even locked her out of my house one night, because she was drunk beyhond belief everyday and pissing me off. Buy me this. Buy me that. Take me here. Take me there. Guess what??? She found a way to break-in. After day 3, I changed her ticket and flew her back on the next flight out. The entire way to the airport she was crying and begging for taxi money in CR. I told her NO and that she could take the bus back to Jaco.
THIS IS ALL YOUR CHOICE MAN. YOU'VE BEEN FOREWARNED.
I forgot to add - she never once said thank you and never once apologized for her raunchy and abusive behavior. Even my mexicana friends thought she was completely pitiful. When I locked her out, she called them for help. They said - no way...
