Residency and medical issues.

Last week I went to the foreigners police and picked up my new residency card, valid for five years. I am amazed at how easy this was. I was also pleasantly surprised that the same prescription which would cost me at least $15.00 copay in the States was completely covered by my insurance. I am faring far better here than I would back in the States, yet some people still wonder why I want to stay here. It is pretty obvious actually, the people are wonderful, the country is beautiful and I don't have to pay an arm and a leg for my much needed diabetic supplies.
