Costa Rica culture guide. Local cultural activities, traditions and information about culture in Costa Rica
Lets face it, there are just some Spanish phrases that your high school Spanish teacher didn’t share with you. I would argue that the ability to order food in Spanish is no less important than how to cuss out cab driver that is trying to rip you off. Likewise, it is just as important to know when your cab driver is cussing you out because it is probably a sign that he is going to rip you off. So whether you want to know how to talk trash or just be aware of when someone does it to you, this post will help teach you what your Spanish teacher didn’t.

Christmas in Costa Rica
Costa Rican is a largely based Catholic population. Because of this many citizens celebrate Christmas in Costa Rica with just as much passion as other Catholic countries. Christmas in Costa Rica is an exciting time filled music, lights, trees, decoration, and of course gifts.
It seems that Costa Rican spare no time in getting ready for Christmas. Many businesses and families start to get ready for Christmas in Costa Rica around the middle of November. That’s when you start to see all the holiday sales and lights going up.

The official drinking age in Costa Rica is 18. That said, you’ll be hard pressed to find a bartender who isn’t willing to serve you. Inside San Jose you may find a disco or two that cards at the door. Or you are one those people who looks ten years younger than they really are, you may get carded as well.
Outside of the capital just about anyone can get a drink anywhere. From restaurants to beachside bars, everyone is happy to serve.
It is a good idea …
