Apparently songs telling people to not chase waterfalls is problematic to an economy that relies heavily on people chasing waterfalls as opposed to staying at home and sticking to rivers and lakes.
Actually the NO TLC grafitti that is around the city has to do with an upcoming referendum about Central/North American free trade. According to a guy at the hostel everyone in Costa Rica wants free trade. The only people who don´t are the ones who buy spray paint.
Anyways, we´ve spent the past couple of days job hunting, which sucks. We have some really good leads, but spending hours trying to figure out pay phones, and then running around the city to interviews has been annoying. I can´t wait until it is over. All the running around, however, has given us a lot of chances to see different parts of the city. Central San Jose can be pretty crazy, eventhough it´s supposed to be tame compared to other Latin American cities, and it´s been nice to see the suburbs which have a lot of really nice shops and well dressed people. Ironically, outside of the city they don´t want no scrubs.
My new favourite part of San Jose is the fruit guy who comes by our hostel with his cart everyday. Yesterday we got a coconut and pineapple for just over a buck. Today I got another coconut (cause they just cut it open and give you a straw) and some other fruit that I´ve never seen before. Unfortunatly when we opened the mystery fruit up it is just full of goo and seeds. Like an alien pod I tell you. Oh the wonders I have seen.
SPANISH:
I really hope we have a job by the end of today. ¨I don´t care about the spanish. I just really hope we have a job by the end of today.¨
