| The Good | The Bad | |
| The view: A cloud-shrouded mountain, with Turrialba sitting quietly in the valley below | Tossing toilet paper in the trash can. I've had more than one reflexive "oops" drops into the toilet. | |
| The sounds. One bird sounds like a video game, I swear. | Looking for scorpion claws to emerge from the sink drain whenever I wash my hands. | |
| Occasionally hearing/seeing a toucan. You always hear them first; they sound like a cross between a duck and a crow. | Smiling and nodding at everyone and everything because that's the only communication I've got left. | |
| My clothes aren't wrinkled. Humidity does wonders. | The dampness in everything: my sheets, my clothes, my papers, my skin (I won't expound) | |
| The size of the mosquitoes. They're scarcely bigger than a gnat, and their bites are proportionately sized. But they really like my ankles. | Not understanding a lick of what someone says to me. | |
| Studying outside. On a porch overlooking a rainforest. | Sunsets at 6:00pm. It's really hard to stay up past 8:00. | |
| The varieties of fruits. I probably wouldn't choose to eat many of them if I found them in the woods; they look like they might sprout wings and try to eat me. | ||
| Getting anywhere I want in town with $0.40 on the bus or $2 in a taxi. |
