there are some real a**sholes who come CR thinking because they are Americans with cash they can misbehave. I saw many of this first hand.
For example: I was sitting at the bar in the Presidente and this gringo comes in and ORDERS a coffee with cream and sugar, with that typical yankee demanding voice, the barmaid gives him a black coffee. He yells back at her he wants a coffee with creme and sugar! I told him he needed to order cafe americano, since most natives drink their coffee black. He sucks the coffee down and storms out. I wanted to punch his lights out.
The poor girl was so embarassed.
At the Beatle Bar one night these four loud drunk gringos come in with a
Costa Rican interperter (assholes did'nt even try to learn some spanish)
and wants the tico to get them girls. The guy tries to round up some girls and then the guys berate him because the chicas were not pretty enough.
All the working girls there cleared away ftom d*ckheads, and they were dumb or drunk to understand why these chicas would'nt want anything to do with them.
Sorry for the rant, I know you guys have plenty of examples of americans acted badly, throwing their weight and cash around. Gives all of us a very bad name and makes it more difficult to get to know the REAL Costa Rica.
