To get a better grasp on Costa Rica I figured I might as well move out here for a year. It has been About 3 months so far and for the most part I couldn’t be happier.

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.

While Costa Rica does have in international postal system, like other things in the country, it isn’t the most efficient. Home delivery of mail is pretty much non existent, mail boxes are never seen, and house numbers hardly exist. It is pretty easy and reliable to send post cards, letters and small envelope based packages out of the country using the postal system. On the other hand, getting mail shipped to you, not so much. Luckily, there is a new “web 2.0″ company that has some what of a solution.
