“Chiriqui people are laid back. No worries here. Take your time, hang out on your stoop, and enjoy life.”

This is precisely the reason I became addicted to life in Quepos, Costa Rica. It was so refreshing to interact with a group of people who, even when in a rush, would always take the time to stop and greet you, and ask you how you were. And beers on the stoop? Always a good idea!

As Americans, I wish we could see that there are more important things than being on time, and crossing everything off a pointless to-do list. It’s interesting how, at an educational level, Americans are taught to think critically about the material that is presented to them, and are much better capable at doing this than, say, their Asian peers, who are taught to respect the teacher’s word and not question it. Yet, it baffles me that despite the fact we may be able to think critically about an argument presented in an essay, we cannot think critically when it really counts…you know, in deciding what we choose to do with that thing called our lives?

Another good post! So question: What is the makeup of the population age-wise. Like what percentage of the population is 18-15, 30-40 etc.

Also, as an idea for a future post…What are you guys doing for fun down there? Im anxious to hear about local sporting events or bars and the fun stuff.

To be fair, if anyone knows anything about hookers abroad it’s definitely Anna. On that note, feel free to give me a call next time you leave the country.

Hey Derek,
I got a fortune cookie message tonight at dinner that said I would be smiling if I visited somewhere south. Panama is south of us; right? Just kidding. Maybe I’ll make Dad make the fortune come true!!

i applaud the objective eye you have towards the people you meet abroad, but a default chauvenistic perspective towards a huge group of people isnt quite fair, is it?
