Costa Rica Cost of Living Update:  Average  cost of bribing Nicaraguan border official to let car into their country- $5

It’s not uncommon to hear about a country invading another. But Nicaragua based their decision on a Google map which makes me question President Ortega’s military resources. The video explains why Tico’s just roll their eyes when I ask them about this latest Nicaraguan temper tantrum.

Google responds to their involvement in this operation by issuing a public announcement, “Google maps are of very high quality and Google works constantly to improve and update existing information, by no means should they be used as a reference to decide military actions between two countries.”

Who knew an iPhone application could cause so many problems?
