Weekend countdown...Who needs it?

Oh hey everyone! Don´t think I have forgotten about my less than exicting blog at the moment. The truth is my laptop decided to stop running itunes, then iphoto and now just stopped turning on all together. Therefore, I will not be able to use my laptop for a couple weeks. Besides that, this week has been great! but nevertheless exhausting. I have a love, hate relationship with the club/bar scene here. We all know that on Mondays, one of our first thoughts is how freakin far Friday seems and for those of you who party on Thursday, still can´t accept that there are still 4 days between you and the weekend. Fortunately, for ticos this doesn´t exist. Monday is actually a wonderful day because your body got a full night sleep and more importantly your liver rested for 24 hours. Monday is also a fantastic night to go out, but lets be honest in Costa Rica everyday is a great night to go out. I´ll break down the week.

Monday: El Cuartel is one of the hottest spots, filled with foreigners from all over the world and live music. My roommates and I especially enjoy this place, but my first experience was priceless. Basically every Monday everyone goes to El Cuartel to listen to these 2 older dudes sing/play reggae covers to a bunch of random songs, and they fucking LOVE IT. Like girls crying, guys hurling themselves onto the stage, begging for eye contact with these superstars, kind of LOVE IT. Let me describe these ¨super stars¨for you. One guy is legit from Africa, he has all the traditional clothing on and the other one stole his wardrobe from one of the cast members of Jersey Shore and humps the air for the duration of his performance. At first I could not stop laughing because I couldn´t understand why people came to listen to THIS, but over time you realize they aren´t all that bad and rather contagious.

Tuesday: Barrio California, its a strip of hipster bars where people drink all down the street and munch on gringo food. The Irish Pub, is where its at with its bombass burger and famous drink, which is the:::::, it consists of 1 shot of tequila, 1 shot of jaeger, and some red bull. Its basically a jaeger bomb but you take a tequila shot first. Its a more relaxed environment and more of a place to throw back some beers and enjoy the potato wedges.

Wednesday: La nena, that was the place to be at this particular the week since Sak Noel paid San Jose an awesome visit. For those of you who don´t know who this is, he is the DJ from Spain that is most known for LOCA PEOPLE, all day..all night etc. Other than this visit, la nena would most likely be poppin anyways. If not you can always go to la calle de amargura, which is open from 11 am to 2 am everyday. This includes various clubs and bars, including Caccios, Terra U, Xscape, El Pueblo, and Congos. They all have different vibes and are primarly flooded by college students, all day, everyday.

Thursday: Our personal favorite is TAO because there is no cover and open bar until 1 am. Music is good, its never packed which is also fantastic.

Friday: Bochinchesssss, this is a gay club that is ridiculously fun. It also includes and open bar until 1 am. Needless to say, its absolute madness until 5 am.

Saturday: I am always traveling so this list is extensive. Bars and clubs from all over Costa Rica. So far the best party beach has been Puerto Viejo. Waking up in a hammock in a bikini the next morning is all I really have to say.

Sunday: I have not gone out but believe it or not people do, really.

So if you like to party, drink, or just have a good time in general, Costa Rica is the place for youuuu

Oh Hey!

So I was supposed to keep up to date with my blog and I failed miserably. The good news is, I still have two months left in this wonderful country that I have grown to LOVE. This way instead of sharing all of the adjustments and obstacles that a foreigner could experience, I can share everything there is to know about my experience becoming completely adjusted as a tica.
Quick recap after 2 months:
- moved 3 times
- traveled two additional countries
- switched offices
- almost got stitches
- ended my short lived cooking hobby
- snorkeled
- slept in a hammock on the beach
and
- made awesome friends from all around the world, for a lifetime

You take the bad with the good because in the end, the journey is all that matters.
