Days 14 and 15; Mon. - Tue., Jan. 21 - 22


The past days have been incredible! Yesterday we started classes at eight in the morning as usual. Everyone was still exhausted from the trip to Tamarindo. The beach was so beautiful and we all received a nice tan! But yesterday in culture class we saw the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" to understand the differences between two different cultures of the Americans and the Greeks. We saw changes in families, customs, habits and lifestyles as well. After school we went to see a movie in the cinema. It was called "Wreck-It Ralph" a cartoon video character who longed to earn a medal in his video game. We watched it completely in Spanish! The film was very good and we could understand most of what they said. Around five in the evening we went back to our houses for dinner with our families.

We got up at quarter past six this morning and arrived at the university at eight. After school we had free time to relax so my friends and I went to the mall to eat and shop. Unfortunately we could't refrain from spending more money because the shopping is so cheap here! At three in the afternoon we began our second dance class, but our teacher was stuck in traffic in San José so he could not come.  However, our own teacher, Profe Zamudio, surprised us all and taught us a dance called the Cha Cha that was very easy and everyone enjoyed it! Finally we sang famous Spanish songs by the artists Camila, Shakira and Maná. Overall we enjoyed the last couple days and we are sad this trip is ending soon!
