Hi!... I love to know other cultures, because is nice to talk with people of other countries, at the same time speak about their original culture and why not to talk about many countries that are around?

ok,I live in Costa Rica, and this country is very popular in america. many people come here, because are a lot of beuatiful beaches, and here are a lot of national parks, where you can find many kinds of animals and at the same time in this trip you can practice surfing,and visiting some valcanos and go to some famous montains, and more interesting things.
but if you want to know many other things you can ask me.
and I want to know how is your country,explain me what people do there, and what is famous there!
ok, bye!

Hi,

To be honest I dont know much about your country, that is why I feel curious about certain things and see if there are any similarities between both countries.
I am 18 years old, how old are you? Do you have a job? How would you describe the style of life in your country, what are the general aspects of the way people live and react on daily basis? I find very interesting to learn about other cultures. If you want to know anything about my country, feel free to ask any time.

Costa Rica is also famous for being a country without army, focused on peace and democracy. The people here are very friendly, open mind and helpful. Right now I am just studying, 100% dedicated to the university. Well, out costumes are very similar to standard USA costumes, but we do have certain diferences, such as music and to put it easy to understand, we have enjoy our style of life, we put a lot of energy and ethusiasm in most of the daily activities, besides a great spirit for parties.

Have you visited other countries?
I almost forgot, I have heard a bit about al-jazeer, but on this part the world, americans try to manipulate information so that only what they want us to here is shown on the news, for example CNN. Which for me is a strategy to hide the reality and lie to the people about what really happens over there.

Hi Asolisa, well I am 18 years old and I study in a university. Well my country is famous for its beaches and tropical fauna. Also for its people, which are very friendly, like me. We also are a peaceful country without any army.
So, what about you? In which state of the US do live in? how old are you?

Hi jessika,

Well I am 28 years old, I live in Virginia, and I have been living here since I had 7.

Your country seems to be nice, I kind of miss my country, but right now I have other priorities.

What do people do in Costa Rica for fun?

When we have time and money we go to the beach, but normally just go out with friends either to a bar, the cinema or to somebodys house and and talk. The parties here are very comun, and there are a lot of places to go, specially if you consider that since its a small country, the distances are no problem.

I think that while I am young, I should enjoy the most I can. Always in a responsable and inteligent way.

Do you study or work?

Well, I have only visted USA, I went there almost three years ago, and had a good time. But I want to travel to more interesting places, one of my dreams is to go to europe and perhaps later on australia. These places have always captured my attention. But right now I have no money and I should focus on my studies. Maybe when in the future I will be able to afford a trip like that.

Since you have visted some countries in europe, tell me about them? Also how is it in Eqypt? I am cuorious about you wanting to go to Maysia or Japan, why are you interested in those places?
