 This post about a gringo in Costa Rica brings to mind my time while living in the United States, only what was happening was the opposite!When you call a business, the first thing you hear is...for Spanish press 2 or some spanish speaking person rattling off that same sentence JUST IN CASE you are Spanish and can't understand what the American company voice system is saying. When I was in America, there was nothing more annoying than Spanish everywhere. Even the signage started springing up Spanish. Instructions for assembly came in Spanish. I even ordered a portable typewriter and got the Spanish version by mistake!!! Tags: spanish language • united states •

 You know what happens when you move to a place where the customs are all different than what you are used to? It becomes natural and fitting (at least MOST things)Here are some things that are different here in Costa Rica than In the United States. Some are "good" differences and some are just plain odd. See if you can think of more to add... - When you are in line at the bank if you are pregnant, old, have an infant, are handicapped or last but not least, CRAZY, you get to go to the front of the line!
- Everyone kisses hello AND goodbye and the cheek
- People, for the most part, do not have hot water heaters in their homes or restaurants
There are like a million thing sthat I can think of that was very strange when I first came here. See what you can add to the list.. Tags: differences • united states •
