Uno margarita and two Imperials ago
Today I started off the day like every other day. We had a delicious breakfast with fresh fruit and other traditional Costa Rican foods. After breakfast we listened to multiple lectures about the country. The first speaker talked about CINDE. She told us why Costa Rica was attractive. One of the specifics she mentioned was quality of life. Costa Ricans live on average 20 years longer than other people and are considered the happiest people on earth. the second speaker talked about tourism worldwide. He explained that it affected every country directly and indirectly. For example, costa ricans would look at the American economy and would base their research off those figures. The third speaker worked for a government agency called procomer. He talked about the 7 regions this company had offices in. He showed us two videos. One was about all the things Costa Ricans have accomplished. Fun fact: All MLB's are made in Costa Rica. The fourth speaker talked about Central America countries. He explained that they get along, because of economical and social differences.
