Around our country

This new blog is about general information about travelling in Costa Rica I hope you enjoy it.

Getting to Costa Rica: Our airports are small and sometimes can get crowded, so get into the costarrican mood as you get off the plane and just have fun waiting by talking to people or reading. There is no point complaining and getting a bad start to your trip because you are waiting a while.

Taking the Bus: Public transportation will get you everywhere in Costa Rica, but depending of the services it will stop a lot or pick up people on the way. Be aware of this before you purchase your travelling tickets because is not the bus driver problem if your are late or have to stand up all the way.

Toilets: For me this is a very important subject. Most times the bathrooms here have no toilet paper so always (especially if you are a girl like me) carry a little bag of tissues or toilet paper with you so you won’t be surprise in a bad way. Also sometimes toilets can be dirty so be careful when you use them. In Costa Rican we don’t throw toilet paper in the toilet, so use the garbage bin.

The roads: This is one of the most terrible costarrican reality, the roads here are terrible most of them are full with holes, this is a real problem that you’ll encounter when you come here, also the drivers here are very aggressive so please be careful. Don’t let this fact stop you from coming because there are more of Costa Rica than our roads.

The deal with the addresses: most of you probably know that is very easy to get lost in Costa Rica, mainly because the houses, streets and avenues are not mark. So how does it work? In Costa Rica an address is given in meters from a landmark, for example my house is 400 m from the cemetery. Tips to find things with our addresses know the cardinal directions and ask the locals about the land mark, another thing I believe it’s pretty cool that we are unique in this way so a special tip from me enjoy getting lost!!!!!!
