Life in Costa RIca

At first, i was thinking to update my blog every week but ended up i have to sum up everything in one blog.... due to too busy with the trips and lazy with the posting :P

I am having a real good time here, enjoy the environment, people and food here very much. Imagine, you are breathing the different air as what you used to breath, seeing different kind of people and experience their cultures. This is a really good experience and something good to learn and share with. I love everything here except there is one big problem which is the communication problem. Most of the people in Intel can speaks good English but if you go outside Intel, you may find problem to communicate with the sales person or anyone outside as they only know their own language - Spanish..... so when you face this kind of problem, you will need to use your body language or any sign language to communicate with them. This is kind of interesting .....

I have try a lot of new stuff here, do something different which i have never did in my home country before. 1st of all, i have tried Rappelling..... from 180 feets ... I bet i wouldn't do that back in my country :P Other than that i have tried canopy (zip lining) with 350 kmph speed. Some new experience for me which made me almost mad, shouting for help in the middle of the jungle ... haha

Where I have been for this few weeks? Other than giving training during the weekdays, we have been travelling a lot of visit different places .....

1st week - Arenal valcano ( Valcano hike, hot spring, rappelling)
2nd week- Element Club (karaoke), Terra mall for shopping, La Paz waterfall
3rd week - Punta Leona, Jaco (Canopy zip lining)
4th week - Rio Frio (German bridge, nice view from Prendas)
5th week - from Monday to Wednesday (on MC due to eye infection, that's why i have time to update my blog now .. :P )

Throughout the 5 weeks here in Costa Rica, I have met really nice people, love their courtesy and warm hospitality here. Other than that, we have build a really good rapport with the people coming here and with the Tico here. We have been to the nice restaurant around and tasted different types of food.

I'm glad i have met some special friends here.... especially Alex chai, AJ :) thanks for their hospitality for bringing me around ......

For the next following week, Karen, Andy and I will be travelling to San Francisco for our personal vacation. We will be there for 1 week before heading home. Can't wait to feel the world there...... Till then.....

I have posted some nice pics in multiply site
