Someone should've told me Costa Rica is a third world country...

First, everyone was like "yeah, yeah, it's the Switzerland of Central America, it's great!". Now I'm going there and it's all like "oh, they have malaria. And swine flu. And they're dirt poor. And there's no warm water in their showers. And you can only drink bottled water."

WTF!

My dad and grandparents lived there for several years when he was a kid. He loved it there. That was a long time ago, so I don 't know how much it's changed.

Belize is better. They all speak English, and I hear you can get some great deals on trashbags filled with weed there.

 

[Dirk Funk]

It shouldn't have been a shock. The vast majority of countries in central/south America are 3rd world.

 

[Big Dick McGee]

Any country besides the United States or England is third world.

I won't actually neg karma you, BDM, since someone people find it personally offensive or something, but that's an obvious neg karma worthy post.

 

[Big Dick McGee]

I was being ironical!

I'd call Canada, France, Germany, Italy, etc first world.

I never find it personally offensive. Neg away!

I know enough people that wouldn't consider France to be first world.

 

[Big Dick McGee]

In Italy, it takes like fifteen days for a piece of mail to travel about 1 mile. 1st world??

 

[CaptainWacky]

Completely untrue!?

 

[whisky]

Maybe he got mail mixed up with snail

 

[ctmelvital]

So, went to the doctor yesterday to pick up all the meds etc.
He gave me 7 different things and I still need to pick up the malaria stuff. I'm now the proud owner of a pack of Tamiflu.

 

[Cassie]

Don't let the natives sneeze on you!

Hmmmm. You may have a point there.

Ah, Costa Rica. An acquaintance of mine got stabbed to death down there back in 2001 whilst doing one of those study abroad things.

Watch your back.
