Second week

Two weeks of sunshine and rain have passed by.
Now I even know how to get to the down-town of San Jose by bus. Although it is very annoying having to sit in the bus which moves like 1 cm per minute because that´s what the traffic is like. As it is your first time to go there, you can´t leave the bus and decide to walk instead - cuz you simply don´t know which way to go. So finally when you´re in the right bus stop and already 5 minutes late, you want to go quickly to the meeting-point... and all the little people just walk lazily on the streets, blocking every single way there possibly is. But it´s the tico-time... noone is ever hurrying anywhere. So what if you´re another 40 minutes late!

I must say that as much as I have seen San Jose... there is nothing to see besides the national theatre and some other places. All the houses look the same, all the streets seem like you already had been there.

Going out is another experience I got last night. A very drastic difference with Estonia is that you actually see more men than women - or perhaps it´s because you are surrounded by a circle of men who all wish to dance with you. And... as funny as it is for me, the men actually dance better than the women. And of course, reggeton rules all the bars and clubs.
Going home with a taxi might be really difficult, as the adresses look like that: 400 metres north from the avenue, 100 meters left.
