We've been in Costa Rica for just a few days and it has already been a memoral experience. We have taken time the last 2 days to get aquainted with the area of San Jose inwhich we are staying. Despite the now infamous bird-poop incident, almost getting hit by a car, and getting terribly lost during a downpour, it is safe to say this is not a trip that will be easily forgotten.
I was not sure what to expect when we were first talking about our trip to Costa Rica back in Oxford. Now, after 2 nights in San Jose, I know that I have not met an unfriendly Tico. Our host family is very friendly and welcoming of us. It was intimidating at first to see houses with metal gates, bars on the windows, and sometimes barbed wire surrounding them, but now I know that that is just the way everyone does it here.

Today we visited Cinde, a company that specializes is researching and marketing to international companies in the hopes that they will bring their business operations to Costa Rica. I thought it was very interesting to see how proactive they were being about securing the well-being of the Ticos by bringing in investments into the country and jobs for the people. It was also interesting to see how they do not just bring in any businesses, but seek out the ones that fit the criteria they have established that assures they will bring the most benefit to the country and the people.
