How come Costa Rica is ignored in North America? |
Travel Info And by ignored I don't mean Costarican history should be taught in North American highschools, I just wish people merely knew its existence. I can't understand how Costa Rica receives over a million North American visitors every year, and stilll every time I introduced myself as Costarican all I hear is "Puerto Rico?" LIKE COME ON! PUERTO RICO IS A FRIGGIN' ISLAND OFF THE COAST OF SOUTH AMERICA. THERE'S NO RELATION WHATSOEVER! Travel Tips Stupid Gringo's......Pura Vida....... Others Lol, I love disgruntaled ethnics! J/k probably because your intrducing yourself to idiots, or they like messing with you. Hell, I still tell my Brazilian boy-toy that he looks Mexican. That really depends on who you ask. I know where Costa Rica is, and my family knows plenty of Costa Ricans. I think you'll find that most Americans are familiar with Central and Latin American countries that have the most immigrants here. Perhaps if the Costa Rican government would spend more to promote tourism here, more folks would know about it and perhaps want to visit. You must be talking to some very uneducated North Americans, then. Nobody I know would ever confuse Puerto Rico with Costa Rica. I have heard plenty of good comments about Costa Rica from both tourists and residents. Perhaps you need to strike up a conversation with people who actually graduated from grade school. Honestly, more people are aware of Costa Rica than you think. Costa Rica is a very beautiful country with vegetation and progress and good level of soccer playing, it's time for Costa Rica to be well known in the US. I guess you asked the wrong question, you should ask how that people became so ignorant. this last answer was so precise! people thinks everyone from central america live in trees and jungles.. i was talkin to someone from ireland a couple of years ago and he asked "do you guys there know what football is?" (i'm from guatemala), but still, do y'all out there think we live in caves or what? |
