As Ayita asked why nobody's interested in Costa Rica, I started this thread.
Please tell us about Costa Rica. (the name sounds nice)

It means "rich coast" in Spanish.
Maybe it's like Costa Brava and Costa del Sol - they Costa Fortune.

Costa Rica!!!!

My dear country full of fools and a crook of a president... Sad story, but yet I'm still loving my Costa Rica.

Roger, have you seen the Laguna del Arenal the way it is now??? Is terribly empty, we're having troubles with electricity because of that! Whenever nature decides to bring us a little rain the rivers are going to be able to get more water and leave it in the Laguna...

Anyway, Costa Rica is a good place to live and everything is quite peacefull most of the time.

See you guys!!

It is the same in all the world but almost nobody has noticed it. It is exactly what is going to happen if we don't take care of nature. Costa Rica is famous for the lots of nature and water but now we don't have enough water. So guys start thinking about it.

You're quite right Hoshi!!

That's true, let's help mother Nature! She's given us everything and now we're just filling it up with rubbish, let's use our heads to think and to do good stuff!!

Bye Very Happy

And we have yet to mention the fact that we have incredibly cheap energy here, and that strange event it's something we never saw before (I think), and that the problem behind this is the global warming!
Also, we need to save energy, seriously. Maybe if we do it, fully industrialized countries (or first wolrd countries) can follow our example.
