Positive experience in a new country

My experience in Costa Rica was overall positive. I met lots of new people, and saw new things. The food was a new experience. There is a lot of rice and beans. The environment is different to America, the people can seem a little creepy, and the walking culture is different. The group activities are things to look forward to. Classes are way better than I imagined them. They are typically interactive activities. There is a lot of time to socialize, and mingle with people. They do take phones during class periods. The other kids in the program were nice, and open to talk to. If I were to rate the trip out of 5 stars I would give it 4.
