As in every single country, Costa Rica has it's own customs that differentiate it from others. First off, you might need to know that Costa Ricans are called Ticos too. And so, we shall proceed. Ticos are very sociable, open-minded, generous and love to party. Most of the ticos I know, consume alcohol all the time. They do it because there's a birthday, a funeral, we finished exams, because we are having a great time... I'm not saying all of them do it but the majority does.
Recently, I've noticed that ticos love to flirt with people and socialize. Ticos just love meeting new people.
Usually, they tend to shout or talk loudly. Not because they are mad or stressed, it's more like they are used to it. When they shout the most is when in football games. When there are games, you can just leave your house. When you're out, you'll see the streets are nearly desserted for everyone is at home or in a pub watching the game. Another reason for which they consume alcohol, football games.
They are very heart-warming people and express what they feel without limitations. They are really sweet with each other. But, as I mentioned before, they love to party, which could be seen as their "wild" side. Ticos just love to dance til dawn and get high and drunk or that's what I think.
Last but not least, for them, getting 30 min late means they are on time. So, when waiting for ticos/ticas, don't get stressed. Just try to be patient and by the time you realize, you'll probably have gotten the same habits as them.
