Has anyone ever been to Costa Rica? If so, how was it? I am going there with EF Tours next summer and I was wondering what you thought of it.

Imperialistic answered Thursday February 15 2007, 5:05 pm: It's really pretty and there is comparatively less political unrest than the rest of the region (it has no army) but it's not as developed as North America and you have to remember that.
Never go out at night alone with less than three people especially in downtown cities where prostitution is rampant. Make sure you have a good way to protect your belongings and keep all your valuables in a safe.
If you’re a woman, always walk in an assertive manner because the men are like all men in third world countries, they’ll holler and whistle at you and randomly grope you. You could be in a crowd, at the beach, even in a restaurant and some guy will decide to grab you no matter how old you are what you look like. The chance of this happening practically quadruples if you’re standing timidly. Usually, when people try to grope me, I hit them with my purse and then all the men walking around are pretty quick to defend me :)
But other than that, it’s a beautiful country and as long as you take the proper precautions as a traveler, you should have a great time. [ Imperialistic's advice column | Ask Imperialistic A Question ]

I thought the shopping and food was very unique. I went in April and the weather was great. I really wouldn't mind going again this year, but I think he has Ireland planned. Anyways, Hope you have a good trip! I'm sure you will enjoy it! [ tommys_baby's advice column | Ask tommys_baby A Question ]
