Another great day in Costa Rica

A new experience.
Tuesday at ICLC was straight forward, Spanish class and then later we had to cook, again. This time it was a sort of pancakes with maiz. The taste was ok, but not like pancakes in Denmark. I think the pancakes and in general the food in Costa Rica is healthy. Not much fat nor oil/butter in the food.
Well no more about the cooking.
Before we left class Sofia said, Your home work for tomorrow is a presentation, where you come from and what you do and so on. Walk in the park, no problem. But more to come, we also had to make a presentation of Denmark in spanish, well easy. Dinamarca es un país pequeño. En Dinamarca hay cinco millones habitantes, cuatro estaciones, primera, verano, otoño y inverno. Clima en Dinamarca es bastante frío. And so on, pice of cake. But tomorrow you have to make the presentation in la escuela San Louis in 2 different classes. Wtf. We have only been taught Spanish for the past 7 days.
Wednesday around 10 am we went to the school San Louis and made the introduction and told about Denmark, my partner was kind of sad today so I had to do it all. Excelente Thomas, Sofía said to me. Gracias, bien.
After the two presentations we were waiting outside on a bench, suddenly one hundred of the kids started to talk in spanish and wanted our names and autographs, where we came from, what we liked about Costa Rica, and more.
The kids was so nice and straight forwad. Mae, pura vida, I have never seen kids so curious and open before any where. We had to tell them everything. It was a really nice experience I will remember for ever.
Later that day when I went to the supermarket, I was walking behind a mother with her two sons. Suddenly one of the kids turned around and said Hola, pura vida, it was one of the kids from the school. So cool. I love the kids in Costa Rica.
You have to be there to feel the warm and love the kids give to you. Only met them for about 20 minutes in class and they followed as you were an rockstar from a famous band, or a famous football player.
That’s all for now, until next time.
Hasta luego.

One thought on “Another great day in Costa Rica

  1. Nej, vi er ikke vant til at børn i Danmark kommer på samme måde som de børn gjorde. Men mange danske børn vil nu gerne snakke med nogen de ikke kender. Oplever jeg da tit i butikken.
