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 right now I work for a business consultent group and I am finishing my studies in the Marymount university, in Business Administration.
What about you, what are you studing? |

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? |
hi Jessika...
europe is a wonderful place..it has history, art, cultuer,festivals, shopping malls and so many things... France is a wonderful place to go in eruope...oh i loved it.. when i enter the palaces and museums there i felt that i was in a fairy tale...versai palace is amazing when i saw Mary Intoanitte bed room and the dancing halls i wished that i was a princes..
and i like to go to JAPAN because i read a novel called the memories of a Giesha and ...also when i saw Tom Cruise movie The Last Samoray..since then i was intrested in the cultuer...also Malysia become one of the imprtant country in their region and has many wonderful and a mazing land escapes... and it is different from europe and different from the american way of life...
about Cairo...standing near the pyramids is a great experience..you feel soo small and you feel how hard and amazing this work..you start to think of the people who built it and how many people died while doing it..
Cairo is a crouded country..i did not like it very much because i like the quit and less crouded countries..
hope you visit the countries you wish to go to...
what about you now..... do you celebrate the new year???where and with whome??? what do want to accomplish next year??? |

I come from KSA (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) which is in the Middle East (but I have been living in the UK for quite some time now). As it is quite a big country, society and culture is quite different depending on where you live (but not too different), but in general I think that the biggest thing the different cities in it have in common is the religion, which is Islam which is also the main religion in the Middle East and Arab countries in general.
I can't speak for other parts of KSA, but the city I come from (Jeddah) is quite a lively and very busy city. There are quite a lot of shopping malls and centres, and restaurants found on many streets. Also like Qatar and Arab Gulf cities in general, the dress code in KSA is a white thowb for men (which is like a white robe) and a abaya for women (a black robe) with anything under and a hijab (a head scarf). A lot of Westerners think it's very hot and bothersome for a woman to have to wear something like that, but the material is thin and loose, to me it sometimes hardly feels as if I'm wearing it anyway.  |

Hi!!!
Oh, I love this topic!!
Sarita, thank you for comming here 
I'm from Costa Rica, like Jesika and I think she is right in everything. We live in a beautiful place.
Qatar seems to be a good place to visit...I wish I could go there someday... I've learned a bit about Arab countries, actually Sarraa has teach me a lot about Islam. I think it's fantastic, like all the other religions in the world.
Bye bye!! Have a nice day.

Yes I have noticed!!
It's very interesting because when I first came to ESL Cafe there weren't any costaricans and it wasn't until some months ago that they began to come and I just realized that they are quite a bunch. lol I'm glad, though... At first I was a bit sad to see that no one came from my country but now I'm so happy to know that people from Costa Rica are posting here. lol
Bye

Venezuela is quite cool
I saw a program about it, they showed many things, but from all of them, the one that caught my attention above everything was an ice cream parlour that was registered as the one with the hugest list of flavors available. I was amazed, they even got a flavor called Miss Venezuela or something like that!! lol
Have a nice day!

I will explai why lately there are too much people from CR!!!
Well all the costaricans that has come to this forum was because our english teacher give us an asigment on this forum!!!! We had to get 20 replies to get 10 points!!! the biggest part of the costaricans that have come to this forum was my classmates of a english class, by the way, not everybody get the 20 replies!! I think that a lot of my classmates will stop posting here!!!! Our english class has finished and our asigment too!!!
Any way I like this forum, and I will keep posting here, also I have learn a lot of new things!!! Now is not too difficult to me rightting things in english!!!!
Well there is the explication of why lately there too many costaricans in this forum!!!
