Society, You're a Crazy Breed

Tomorrow, after living here in Costa Rica for 85 days, I will be returning home. In those 85 days, I  experienced something indescribable. I learned. I discovered. I explored. I pretty much did it all. While of course there were similarities, I did notice un montón de differences between the country that I call home and this country that has been my home for almost 3 months. Here I will share just a few of those differences.

This sign speaks for ALL toilets. DO NOT flush your toilet paper.
 There are no "trash cans" only raised trash baskets.
 The butter is EXTREMELY yellow.
 ALL cars are stick shift (and diesel).
 Hollister is, apparently, spelled with a silent "C."
  
Websites are not in English, surprise!

And the showers kind of suck.

Regardless, Costa Rica, you have been incredible. To all of the amazing people that I met here, I am unbelievably thankful to have had you in my life and to all of the people that I love at home, I will be glad to have you back! 

PURA VIDA
