1) When it is in the low 70's and high 60's it is considered freezing! Everyone comments on how cold it is! Yesterday I saw a woman wearing gloves and a scarf!
2) Rice and beans are eaten at literally EVERY meal. But at least, they taste good!
3) My Mami is the best cook in Costa Rica. Everything she has made I have devoured in a matter of minutes.
4) Look out for potholes in the sidewalks. Random holes in the ground and in the road are not uncommon.
5) Take the time to look up. Costa Rica is surrounded by mountains and the sky is beautiful!
6) It takes less than 3 minutes for the water in my shower to turn cold. I better hurry up!
7) Take advantage of every opportunity to speak English. You never know when you will get to again! It could be a very long time!
8) I can get to and from my Spanish classes in three different ways: walking, a bus, and a taxi. I successfully know how to do each!
9) Take charge when crossing the streets. If you run across the street it is a clear sign that you are a Gringa!
10) Hug and kiss on the cheek everyone you meet. Handshakes are not acceptable here!
