Costa Ricans are just amazing
Hi all,
I’m just sharing my experience and interactions with Costa Ricans. Even though my trip had some ups and downs, the people in Costa Rica were absolutely amazing.
My husband and I bought coconuts, but mine wasn’t very sweet. When I told the seller I wanted to buy another one, he felt bad that the first one wasn’t good and gave both of us free coconuts.
We went to get some juice and became curious about some plantain chips, but we weren’t sure if we would like them. I asked the seller about the taste, and she simply opened a pack and told me to try them myself. She didn’t charge us anything for it. She even gave us a full box of traditional coconut biscuits to try.
We went to a restaurant that had a huge mango tree, and there were some ripe mangoes on the ground. I picked one up, and the restaurant owner came over with a full bag of mangoes (about 10–15) and said, “These are all for you. Thank you for coming to our restaurant.” It was such a sweet gesture.
These are just a few examples. The people here are so kind, warm, and welcoming!
