Sunday and start of a new week.
Sunday was very nice, breakfast and later of to Grecia. Grecia is a small town approx 20 minutes by bus. I went to el parque and there was some kind of activity called ”Vamos al parque” something arranged by the municipality. I meet a few persons and had a chat with them, told them I was from Denmark y bla bla bla.
One thing I noticed during the talk was that Costa Rican can be open very open easy to talk to, but this guy told me that there are two types those who want to talk and those who don’t want to talk, nothing in between. Kind of weird, every where you read about Costa Rica the statement is, they are very open and want to talk.
Taking the bus in Costa Rica is very easy and cheap. A bus from Carrillos to Grecia or Carrillos to Alajuela cost around 5 DKK. That is cheap compared to busses and trains in Denmark.
If you don’t go the entire way to a busstop, you press a button or pull a wire to stop the bus, and you can get off the bus. In case of none of the above buttons, wires are implemented, you have to shout ”Parada” which means stop the bus I want to get off. Easy.
Tomorrow a new day begin.
Today is Monday, some times I hate Mondays but this Monday was really good.
We arrived at the school this morning and we didn’t have homework for the weekend. Gracias Sofía.. Sofía is our teacher. But sometimes you have the feeling of something is coming to you as a shadow, and there was a but. Sofía said today: After one week at the school ”No inglés y danese” WTF just happened, but that is the only way forward.
So get back on the horse and move forward.
Los interrogativos , qué, quién, cómo, cuál, cuántos, por qué, cuándo (what, who, how, which one, how many, why, when) and the way to use them. Interrogativos + verbos, interrogativos + sustantivos. And that was not enough, we had to practice all adverbios de Lugar (Adverbs about place) up, down, behind, in front, to the left, to the right, on, next to and so on. A really hard day, but it was fine.
And to complete the punishment on a Monday: Dos tareas. Homework, muy bien Sofia.
The homework only took half an hour, so pretty easy, then a few hours to interpret the word over and over again.
Later today I went to the gym to start do some exercise, pice of cake. The instructors was happy to meet me and helped me to get acuinted with the gym and the people. Very nice.
Normally I do 3 sets of 15 times an exercise, but no, here we do 4 times 25 OMG I’m dead. First a short warm up, 2 kilometers of running just to be ready for the killing. It was nice, I will probably look like a wrestler before I finish my stay in CR.
Hasta luego.
