Scholar Standfield, you jerk! Why are you going to Costa Rica! It’s so dangerous. Were you not thinking? Why not go to Cabo, or Cancun, or a resort in Jamaica where it’s safe to party? You see, Spring Break is supposed to be all about you. You’re not supposed to explore new cultures in order to give yourself a more cosmopolitan outlook on life. That would be pratical. You’re supposed to get drunk and behave promisciously, like the people on the Real World. After all, as most Penn kids say, they “earned” their spring break, they “earned” the right to act irresponsibly and selfishly for a week. I for one deeply regret my decision to go home for spring break to relax and spend time with my family. What the hell was I thinking?

Depending on how you act and behave Costa rica will be an ubeventful destination crime wise.

Get drunk behave like a moron anywhere and you’ll be looking for trouble. I spent some time there in Nov. and found it to be a wonderful place. Keep your wits about you and the most dangerous thing you’ll do is much the same as at home, riding around in an automobile and crossing the street. Costa rica IS NOT Haiti.

If you’d like more info and traveling tips to out of the way places far more dangerous than CR or would like to ask me specifics about CR feel free to contact me or some other very savy folks at http://www.polosbastards.com

Best,

Why do you want to get mugged?

(this seems to be a desire unrelated to your trip to Costa Rica, which I think paints a misleading picture of crime there for readers)

Then why the H..l are you going there? Are you crazy? There are many safer places you could go where getting mugged isn’t a fact of life.
