Costa Rica means "Rich Coast" in Spanish.
It is located in Central America, bordering Nicaragua (North) and Panama (Southeast).
From what I remember, Costa Rica has no military and I believe one of its main sources of income is tourism. No wonder, considering this country is so beautiful. It constantly ranks highest as greenest country in the planet or something like that.
Its time zone is UTC -6, so it is the equivalent of Central Time in the U.S.
Since we have Daylight Saving Time in California, we are currently only 1 hour behind Costa Rica. Time zone changes of such caliber do not affect me.
Costa Rica is made up of 85% White people. 1% Chinese. Oh snap!
The capital is San José, and the currency is the Costa Rican Colón.
Thank you, Wikipedia.
We landed in Juan Santamaría International Airport, which serves San José. My mother's parents live here as well, so this is the first place we stay at whenever we come to Costa Rica. As usual, my aunt, who owns a restaurant here, had us come over for dinner. It was TONS OF FOOD, considering the fact that we were super tired from the flight. We were only allowed maybe 3 hours of sleep before we had to re-awake for an adventure to a volcano!
