As one of my friends said, Costa Ricans are born with the instinct of seduction. So especially if you're a white girl, you should... as bad as it is... get used to guys making all kind of comments to you on the streets - as if there was a cat nearby, you hear "ksss-ksss" and then you know that actually you are the cat. Even as in Estonia I'm really brunette (or dark potato as we say) and quite tan... and no, I don't have blue eyes (how can you not see that they are totally gray?) - here I'll always be a machita (a blondie) or a gringo (american) – blond hair, blue eyes, light skin.
But excluding the rudeness on the streets... Costa Ricans are really-really nice. Very friendly on the first glance... but real friendship is not easy to gain.
