More adaquite things about san jose

#7. The way people answer the phone.

Very few people here speak english... well at least way fewer than you would expect from a country with such a strong tourist base. But, regardless of this whenever people answer the phone they say "hello." not "buenos," or even some mispernounced form of "HOLA," but a full on english hello. This makes booking hotels kind of decieving.

#8 Jokes on the Bus

A lot of buses have those red light signs that flash different messages as you are driving on the bus. Sometimes they have news, other times a count down to the millenium (in english which i appreciate) and other times jokes. I dont understand a word of the jokes, but the part that is hillarious is that after the punch line they all say "jajajajajaja." Ok, i know that J is the H sound in spanish... but none the less its pretty funny to picture people in a group all saying jajajaja after a joke.

#9 Empanadas
Cant go wrong with an empanada.
