Another snippet - There is a girl that works at my gym that just HATES ME with a passion. Why? I have said nothing other than "hola, como está?" So, I thought... I don't smell like shit. I don't look like shit. I'm not an asshole. What is it???!!! Well simply thought... there is no reason other than because I'm a gringo. And, I asked a few people and YES I was right. She hates gringos. Why? Because, they automatically assume that THEY ARE GRINGO Y GUAPO and that all chicas ARE WHORES and willing to spread their legs after simple chit chat.


The more you travel, the more you will experience people with this type of attitude towards Gringos, but its not like there isn't some justification for having it, it does not at all take into account the simply fact that its prejudice to act in such a manner. The Irish do the same with Brits, Brits with Irish, but everyone seesm to hate us Gringos; the funny thing is a lot of these folks would kill to get citizenship to the Land of the Big PX :lol: [/quote]

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Ticos are very prejudice against most any other nationality, including other Latinos. Not sure why. Kind of a superstition thing and kind of makes them look silly as CR is more what I call a "Disney" country. What I mean is that it is mostly a country for play whereas Nicaragua, Colombia, US and others are countries with actual stuff going on.
