I am a Costarrican myself, and I can say you may want to hit the "Cafe Internet" as they are called locally in C.R. for your Fix of great Costarrican Coffee and your favorite: "Internet" on Kiosks (or better known as Pentium II computers with internet). Due to the lack of wealth, Costa Rica has found the solution to communicating the world with them is creating Internet spots where you can access the internet (Cyber Cafes). I know I am encouraging you to get your fix while down there, but I enjoyed your post and am deeply concerned about you missing anything important about your classes. ;>) I wish you the best of luck and if you need any information on what to do down there contact me. By the way It's summer down there so do not expect to much cold. Just tropical rain. Have Fun and don't forget to say: "Pura Vida" while you are down there. (local term used constantly for hello or in response to a hello. TRANSLATION: "Pure Life") More Slang Terms: Tuanis ("Cool") Mae ("Dude") Una Teja (local 100 coin) Un Rojo (local 1000 Bill) Un Tucan (local 5000 Bill) Cheers, Randy C.
