Very true...but not quite.
There have been many different descriptions of Costa Rica, it's people and customs, behavior and general cultural background, and this book definetely tells it right in most respects, however, it has made a small but not less important mistake in stating that the hospitable, friendly and fairly generous people's of this beautiful country are not more than lackeys of american pop culture, and loyal followers of the "american way".This can be not much farther from te truth, bacause "ticos" like to think of themselves as being nice and respectful of all cultures, and feel inclined to treat every single visitor from any country with the same ammount of dignity and attention.Proof of that is the country's most recent denial to a US policy and treaty in which the US wanted to secure diplomatic immunity to all it's representatives abroad in Human Rights related investigations.
