You Know you´re living in Costa Rica when...II

You have a huge set of keys and you have to unlock 4 doors/gates before you can get to your room.

Mayonesa en todo. Mayonaisse (i think that´s how you spell it in eng.?) on everything! Well, maybe not EVERYTHING...but let´s see....breakfast "SAHNweetch" (white bread, MAYO, ketchup, bologna, lettuce, tomatoes), papas fritas (french fries), fish, potatoes, hamburgers, I´m blanking on the rest!

You collect your clean clothes on the clothesline which is right outside your door in an outdoor covered area.

You ask "¿que?" (what) approximately 20 times a day.

When you dont´realize the bus coming towards you is yours and you frantically dig through your backpack to find the small coin purse to dish out 200 colones, and it takes too much time that the conductor tells you to sit down, and later puts his hand out for the coins.

Every day, usually at lunch, you discuss with your classmates what you would like to be eating right now. Today it was peanut butter M&Ms. Usually it´s Cold Stone, or froyo, or pizza or spaghetti. When you have to stop yourself from dreaming about American food because it will be a while ;)

When you have to write a 3 page bio paper in Spanish....which leads me to....

gotta go! ;)

Hasta pronto!
