Religion CommentOh, okay now that makes sense. I completely forgot about PO Boxes. My father lives in a small island where most roads are dirt roads and it would take the mailman to reach each house so on the corners of many streets there are a series of PO Boxes where... - Fri Nov 24 21:05:55 2006:
Assumptions CommentI never really noticed that until recently. It's kind of sad how many people know so little about their own homeland! My father lives in Canada and i visit from time to time. A lot of Canadians say that they grow up learning more about USA than they do... - Fri Nov 24 21:04:07 2006:

Type_of_Music CommentFolk music eh? Sounds like a place my dad would enjoy. He lives off very little over on a small island in Canada. Little electricity and makes money via odd jobs and such. He's huge on folk music. The heat would probably drive him crazy... - Fri Nov 24 21:01:07 2006:
illegal_immigrants CommentThat's strange that they would gain the right to work if they enter illegally but at the same time would have difficulty obtaining a visa to enter legally. That just encourages more people to enter... - Tue Nov 21 15:03:43 2006:

Weddings in Costa Rica? MessageWhen i was discussing this forum with a friend, she mentioned how she was considering marrying in Costa Rica.

Assumptions? MessageWhat are the most popular wrongful assumptions that tourists make when they visit. What ones just make you shake your head and wonder how people can be so stupid?

Zoo_Suggestion CommentI don't really like going to Zoos. I used to always want to see one but it really wasn't as exciting as I imagined! Also some of the animals looked SO depressed. I do wish i saw monkeys flinging poo, that would be great.... - Mon Nov 20 23:31:25 2006:
Move_to_Costa_Rica CommentAgreed, it is a bit foolish to move to a completely new country and expect it to be a lot like your homeland. Also even more foolish to move somewhere that you have no experience or knowledge about. Definitely go stay there for several months, however... - Mon Nov 20 23:24:05 2006:

Well_known_artists CommentHi Johnny, I am not all too sure. I tried searching and this website looks like there would be a good database of artists and collectors who may be able to help your friend out.

GLBT_lifestyle_in_Costa_Rica CommentI had no idea that Canada used to accept Costa Ricans without a visa! That's strange about the musician part, why would so many claim to be musicians if they weren't? Because they did not have any profession so they just pretended to be a musician or... - Mon Nov 20 01:06:29 2006:
GLBT lifestyle in Costa Rica? MessageI just read how catholic is the biggest religion in Costa Rica and it made me ponder on how big is the GLBT community in Costa Rica?

Canopy_tours_who_has_been CommentHmm, i would think your friend would be terrified. From my experience with fears of heights, any amount of heights is terrifying! But if she seems other people go before her and don't fall to their death, she may be a bit more rational heh. But fears and... - Mon Nov 20 00:53:56 2006:
