I’ve found that the majority of Cost Ricans are very happy and friendly people. Most will go out of their way to make sure you have a good time. Most of the women will treat you right and keep smiling and judging from what I saw is an absolute miracle.
Anglo,
You are right on the money my friend. This kind of behavior gives us all a black eye. Personally, because most Costa Ricans are, in fact, very happy / friendly people, I find it very easy to reciprocate with kind words and actions. And Vegas Bob is right......SCHMUCK is definitely too kind.
Treat 'em like you want to be treated!

I agree, I just back today got myself and I was talking to a nice waitress yesterday at the el presidente and suddenly three Americans guys was given a waitress a hard time.. she said to me you can always tell they are Americans - "they are LOCO".
