The story of theTelephone

Once upon a time there were some foreign volunteers that wanted a Cosat Rican sim card. But getting it would prove to be much more difficult than the foreign volunteers though it would be. It was a new system that they just started with In CR (kontantkort) and before it was impossible for foreigners to get a costa rican number. Therefore nobody really knew how to get it...someone told the volunteers that they had to go to the airport to get it. So they went by bus for about 30 to the airport. AT the airport the security guard told them they could not enter the airport unless they had a valid ticket to travel for the same day! The volunteers were very frustrated as they had come all the way to the airport but now they could not enter. Luckily, one of the guards said it could be possible to get the sim card at an office in a mall nearby. So, the volunteer took a taxi to the mall International and found the office. There they stood in line for 20 min to ask about where\how they could get the sim card. They gave them a ticket for the line. After about 3 hours of waiting in the office, it was finally their turnand after another 30 minutes, the sim card was bought.

SO the trip started after spanish classes at 12pm and we came back to the hostel at 7pm. But yes, I now have a functioning phone! The number is (506) 89553662!

We are still really enjoying ourselves, but one of the girls at the hostel was robbed yesterday and it really made me realize that we have to be careful all the time..Someone just tore her necklass off her neck in the middel of a crowded street during the middle of the day and nobody reacted. Scary! But yes, I'll be very very careful now..anyways, beach awaits so hasta la vista:)
