Consider emigrating to Costa Rica. What are the customs there?

Costa Ricans are frank and simple, optimistic and kind, humble and trustworthy, hospitable and very friendly to foreign guests. No matter on any occasion, they will take the initiative to say hello, greet warmly and shake hands. Men should shake hands when they meet; If friends or relatives meet to say goodbye, women should kiss on the cheek or hug. Costa Ricans attach great importance to appellation. In social occasions, adult men are generally called Mr., married women are Mrs. or Mrs., and unmarried young women are miss. I also like others to use academic or professional titles, such as "doctor", "master" and "director".

Costa Ricans like to get together and chat with friends. When you communicate with local people for the first time, you should be polite to others. Generally speaking, you should not refuse the kind invitation of Costa Ricans out of courtesy or other considerations. When you are invited to a friend's house in Costa Rica, you should bring a bunch of flowers, a box of cakes and a bottle of good wine to your host.

The daily diet of ordinary families in Costa Rica mainly includes pork, beef, chicken, fish, corn, beans, rice, plantain, cassava and palm heart. On weekends, they usually cook broth with plantains, cassava, potatoes and pumpkins. The common fruits are tropical fruits, such as bananas, mangoes, avocados, watermelons and grapes. Traditional drinks include coffee, rum boiled with strong sugar, sugar liquor and so on.

Costa Rica's taboos are the same as those of Spain and other European and American countries. People generally taboo the numbers "13" and "5" and prefer "3" and "7". Reference:/
