I MISS THEM SO MUCH!!! awesome family..so anyway, this is my host family in costa rica. actually I cherished the time most with this family duirng my 1mth stay in costa rica..although white water rafting..and abseiling and horseback riding on Christmas day and all was superb...but still nothing beats being around these people.
Not everyone is in here.. they have like extended family..sisters...cousins...and whoever all staying side by side. their culture is such that the family's very closely knitted, i really love it there. simple and nice..everyone goes abt doing their own things, schooling, working (my family's into wood-carvings and stuff. very cool. i tried to do it, and managed to carve out half a sea turtle..loL) hmm, this family..can't live without music and TV. ahha..i think apparently all the families in this village are like that. they'll blast music (Neri - the grandmother loves spanish romantic music, so i get that every morning as wake up call. haha. if not it'll be the kids running around or the washing machine going RRRRrrRRRrrRR) in the morning while doing housework, then evening everyone would be gathered around Neri's place to watch tv and have dinner (beans and rice beans and rice beans and rice...and more beans and rice..altho i love beans...thats abit TOOO much...i got constipated after that). the lady carrying a baby...yeah well, she's the grandmother in the household..v young right. the women in this culture seem to make it their mission to get married early, then have kids. kids are like so impt to them...actually whether they get married or not, they'll still want kids. so yeah...alot of single mums in this village, doesnt really bother them at all, cos along with their kids, they just stay with the parents. oh wells..its interesting to learn how other culture function.
but it felt so good, cos they embraced me as one of them. took care of me so well..fed me with so much beans and rice........and yeah well. haha.....was touched by their lil acts of concern and stuff...like i had night duty at the beach, and they were afraid i couldnt find my way back cos it was pitch black...switched on the front lights so that i could recognise the house.
oh man...there's just too much to write and share abt this trip. haha.. i journal like abt average 8 pages for each day..this is definitely an experience i wld never forget.
so anyway..i'll just leave with that for now. goodnight everyone. God bless all~
