RE: Winning: Food Fight Friday (insert fish slap here)
Incredible place. SO much to do and see. Great philosophy in that hostel. That's the kind of thinking that should be promoted everywhere. People would be less self-centered.
The free bananas reminded me of my town when I was growing up. Everybody had so many fruits noone would dare to sell any.
You would get free fruits from all business, from neighbors, it was amazing. Now they sell even the rotten ones.
I am amazed at how anglicized this part of costa rica is. I wonder if the whole country is like that (signs and adds in english, etc). Do a lot of people speak english there?
The entire country is based off of tourism so there’s English everywhere. We are surprised ourselves traveling about and seeing all of the English. We’ve even met a few disrespectful expats who have lived here for over a decade and still don’t speak Spanish- outrageous right?!? Anyway, it’s all tourism here so there’s a lot of catering to North Americans. I agree that everywhere would do better if they lived by the philosophy of that poem. We tend to forget that we are all in this together and together we can co construct such a more harmonious place. I love the idea of trading fruits and veggies. It’s a shame that capitalism has taken over that wonderful and innocent characteristic of your old neighborhood.
