Turns out I'm going to Costa Rica afterall! What exciting news. This means I have major work to do on my thesis project though. From everything that I've read about Costa Rica it sounds like an amazing country. It seems very safe and beautiful from the descriptions I've read. I like that there is public healthcare there, like in Canada, and that the country seems to put a high value on conservation. I've heard that there are great vegetarian restaurants in San José, which is the city where I will be living for three months. Now I just need to find an apartment. Anyone have any leads? I looked at a beautiful apartment online on some ex-patriate website that was in a historical building, for only $350 USD. That is sooooo cheap compared to Toronto. I'm hoping that I can live in a nice place close to my new work at Defensa de los Niños Internacional. I will be helping them develop their website and do other tech support activities. Seems like this program is really similar to ArtsBridge, in that it sometimes uses the arts to engage youth.
