Things about Costa Rica

There is no army, it`s a peaceful country.

Costa Ricans are very house proud. If there is a tiny bit of dirt or dust on the floor, it must be cleaned, daily. If not...

¨Cold¨ is when it is less than 70 Fahrenheit.

Motorcycles are very popular.

¨Tico Time¨ means that when someone says, ¨get here at eight,¨ everyone gets there at nine-thirty.

Life is short, you only get one on this earth, make it worth it.

People don`t spend their lives trying to get more things, they take care of what they have.

If you go a whole day without eating rice and beans at least once, what happened???

Women usually stay at home once they are married, cleaning, cooking, and taking care of the kids. If they have a job, they do that as well. The man doesn`t share chores with his wife very often, even if she has a job too.

¨Pura Vida¨. Literally translated, it means ¨pure life.¨ It`s somewhat like aloha in Hawaii, it means: hello, goodbye, I`m good, and more.
