My keys left behind in Tamarindo were returned this morning. They were shipped off and made it here in less than 24 hours ! Que dicha ! I got soo lucky and I will be sure to guard these things with my life UGH . Me and keys have a love hate relationship. but any how I'm very happy that they are here and don't have to worry about them any more and also wont have to pay to replace all the locks in the house. Meep !So I was sitting around on my lunch break and thinking about things I am not coping so well with here in Costa Rica , now that i've been here almost an entire month.
- 2 minute showers.. such a struggle. especially when I want to wash my twinky- fro ! aka hair ugh.
- putting things in our community fridge next door and then they go missing ? .. but really though.
- I am always breaking something or am tripping .. I am lucky if I get home with out a cast * knock on wood *
- There isn't always going to be wifi.. when my wifi at home is malfunctioning I want to go crazy .. #firstworldprobs
- Laundry .. I swear I loose a pair of socks every time & my clothes are line dried making them crispy
- Don't take laxatives for no apparent reason ... you WILL wake up at 3 am with a stomach ache and an urge to go to the bathroom. not so great. & Dont FLUSH toilet paper.
- Ticos dont walk .. they stroll .. so slow .
- no spanish music .. anywhere.. ever.
- American fast food chains are EVERYWHERE.. Quiznos, McD's, Popeyes, BK everything. I don't want that shit !
- Condiments are a big deal...when there is no chile / hot sauce or Lizano sauce for my food... My heart is sad.
There it goes , 10 things that I have learned , or have learned to live with .. I'm not complaining.. I just wanted to illustrate that everything isn't perfect & I've had to adapt to my surroundings.
Sayings that I have learned that I try to incorporate into my everyday convos :
Que chiva ! = how cool
Que Torta! = what a disaster/ problem
Mae = My friend .. my nigga
Que dicha= how lucky
Pura vida.. obviously !
Vas a llorar? = not that serious
diay ? = oh why ?
O sea ,Ciao ! = Swerve my niggaaaaaaa ! lmao I'm having too much fun .
Our next stop this weekend is Monte Verde ! where we will be visiting the cloud forest ! we will be doing a Canopy tour// zip-lining. which is known as the best around ! yay. I was very interested in riding ATV's but kinda on the fence about it, I guess I will wait to do it else where on my adventures.
My list of places to go expands like every day .. currently trying to strategically plan cost effective trips to Panama & Nicaragua. Figure I'd take advantage of being in Central America and go visit both since there neighboring Costa Rica . I am very much looking forward to that. Cant wait !
In my eternal 4 hour spanish class today I developed a list of places I want to visit , came up with a list of about 25 countries ... and counting. Oh sighs ! What is a travel-loving-girl like my self to do ?
My top 5 destinations at the moment are :
- Spain
- Colombia
- Greece
- Portugal
- tie between Brazil &Italy
