Costa Rica´s customs
As any country we have our own traditions that make us special and different from other places. The most important custom for me after the language is the food, for example the "olla de carne" (bowl of meat), "casado" (it has rice, beans, salad and meat, fish or chiken), "gallo pinto" (its for breakfast, it has rice and beans mixed with onions and salsa lizano). We eat these plates very often and there are more. The "salsa Lizano" is a very good tasty sauce, it works for add a better taste to the food and is a really important ingredient for some costa rican plates. In every place that we can be is almost for sure that we are going to miss our food.
The soccer is the most popular sport and a lot of people are against this because there is to much atention for it and it´s true but, for me it doesnt matter because I really like it. However I also think that there should be more interest in other sports. The goverment should help other sports to improve their gyms stadiums in order to make them more popular.
There are a lot of idioms and words we use every day some of them are good and others are bad. Words like "mae", "mop" and "compa" are used to call a friend, "charita" means too bad. And some idioms like "le puso los cuernos" and it means for example that he is cheating her. There are some many tico´s customs that is impossible just to remember some of them for a essay, so here im ending.
