Hiya mate!

I'm from Costa Rica too, yaaaaaaaaay! Very Happy

From what part are you anyway? I'm from San Carlos by the way... And for everybody else, I can help you too, Costa Rica is a great place to come and stay for a while, there are many interesting places here. The cities aren't nice at all but the nature and the cool climate is really atractive.


Bye bye! Very Happy

Oh how nice Viviana! Smile

I've been in Grecia, it has a lovely park. I heard that for years Grecia was nominated as the cleanest place in Costa Rica, something like that...

You can also come to San Carlos whenever you want, mate. I think our country has really amazing spots where everybody can go and have a great time. Have you ever been to San Carlos by the way??

One last thing, this goes for Ad-miral, come to Costa Rica whenever you have the chance, with girlfriend or without girlfriend, there are many cool things to do here. You can perhaps do canopy near the Arenal Volcano, many people really like that, or maybe visit Guanacaste to get to know the beaches, the foods, the people, the music and all the nice things they got there. Anyway, as Viviana said, it's a small, actually tiny country, but it has great beauty. Wink

Bye!

Yay! You're right mate!

Ad-miral, if you want to visit a nice place in Costa Rica go to Guanacaste or come here to San Carlos, but don't even think of visiting San Jos� (the capital), it's just horrific... Umm...well, sorry Roger for saying that San Jos� is ugly, but it isn't very atractive, is it? Confused

Cristi, if I visit my friends, I am not very much interested in the surrounding. Laughing Just want to have a nice time with friends and laugh a lot (maybe drink something?)
As Rogerlz is a strong boy I could have duels with him. Laughing And as you are a girl I can't have duels with you. Ohhh and you should think about your handsome boyfriend, he will be very sad if you put a stranger boy in front of him.

Oh Viviana! Those are simply beautiful words! Very Happy It's a shame that San Carlos's cities are so ugly, like most of the cities in Costa Rica... We have amazing nature paradises, but the concrete jungles are way so pathetic... I hate all the signs of McDonalls, Buger King, Pizza Hut and all that crap that are around San Jos� for example... It's really pittyful... Sad But anyway... I hope someday we'll be able to overcome this third world illness...

Umm... hey, in what university do you study???

Ad-miral, oh boy! I wouldn't have duels with anyone, not a boy or a girl, but I would like to learn some of the kickboxing movements, lol Just for fun though... And I wouldn't like to see Roger and you fighting now that you're mates, wouldn't it be weird, to try to hurt a friend??

Have a nice day all of you!

Greets and hugs for everybody Very Happy Cool

Hey why every body wants to fight with me. I don't like the real fightings, just on video games.... ad-miral, if you want, you can fight with a friend he knows Muay thai, or he saids that!!!! Very Happy

Well is true, San Jose not is too good!!! but what I can do!!! also there are nice place, the only thing is that I don't know where!! Very Happy

Also in San Padro a place that is a near to San Jose, there are a kick boxing academy, and there also teach Muay thai and Brazilian Yujitso and I don't know what else!!!
