Museo De Oro y Fiesta de Crash-Thursday, September 30th

I am falling behind on my blogging which is really stressing me out so i am hoping to catch up in the next two hours. I have been so busy! I barely had time to realize it is the 4th of October!

1. Museum

For my spanish class we had to visit the museum about the indigenous Costa Ricans and their gold. I was exhausted and bored. I went with my friend Lisa in my class, i think we were in and out in half hour. They did have really cool sculptures but hardly any gold. Pictures...

2. Fiesta!

Thursday night the school had this party called "Crash" for the exchange students to meet the other students. I cant help but feel like an asian exchange student in these situations. We all huddle together in our American groups and speak english. It was fun, besides the fact that their idea of BBQ and mine were way different. On all the fliers they specifically used the word "BBQ" which to me means a meal. It ended up being a tortilla about the size of my fist and one piece of meat. Other than that there was a dance team that came and performed for us with a percussion band. Me and Alisha were joking that it was the first piece of Costa Rican culture we saw. Although its really different here, it is definitely Americanized especially in San José. There are McDonalds on every corner and any other fast food you could want just a short taxi ride away.
