Just came home after the dancingclass. Today we danced salsa and merengue and it was really nice. Afterwards I stayed for a while with Pao, Beas hostcousin and then there was another aftershock. I didn't feel it this time, but it was still awful. Everybody started running and then you kind of understand immediatly what's going on. Saturday I was in cafe D'melon waiting for Anna and Bea when there was a big aftershock. Since I was alone, and there was no other person in the cafe I did not know what to do. I just stood up and held onto my chair and looked around for people so I would know what to do. So scary.
Today in school the principal talked to us for two hours about how important it is not to run in an emergency and that next time something similar to the earthquake happens we all have to stay calm. It was quite funny because later every teacher on the school got to tell us about their experience and our teacher said something like that when he said "tranquilos" witch means "calm down" it was already too late because everybody was already outside. And the teachers of the small kids said that all of their students were really calm and walked in proper lines until they came outside and saw all of us running around screaming and crying. Poor teachers...
This afternoon I went to the postoffice to send a letter and then at the same time they gave me a package that my parents had sent me. It made me so happy! I went together with Bea to cafe D'melon, had a coffee and opened the package. Inside was Marabou chocolate and tyrkisk peber. Boy have I missed that! Here they don't eat chocolate as we do in Sweden, they just eat a lot of caramel instead, and I think we kind of only eat licorice in Sweden. I made the owner of the cafe try the tyrkisk peber and she pretended for a long while that she liked it, but you could see how hard she was trying not to spit it out. Haha, she, and my grandma were the only ones who actually didn't spit it out. The rest of my family thought it was awful. Well, I guess it's just very swedish.
Anyways, so in the cafe we talked a lot to the owner and she's so nice. She told us about her and her familys story, because she's from China, and she also told us a lot about the food here in Costa Rica. She also made us a mangomilkshake that was soooooo good. Apparently in March there are mangos everywhere here, so you don't even have to buy them, you can just pluck one from a tree. And there's also different kinds of mangos. The ones we eat in Sweden that are sweet, some kind that is sour and more like a vegetable, small mangos, big mangos, yeah I don't know, there was a lot of different types. It's the same as with the bananas, at home we can buy one kind, but here there are small ones, mediums, big ones, platanos maduros and platanos and probably some other kind too. But still they don't eat that much fruit here. The pineapples costs like 1 dollar each, but still they kind of only eat rice and black beans, and meat, lots of meat. And tortillas of course. But my hostfamily eat a lot of fruit compared to other families so I've realized that I almost eat a whole papaya some days. Papaya for breakfast, papaya to the salad for lunch, papaya as a snack, and papaya for dinner. Hahaha. But it's really good here. At home I hate papaya, but here I just simply love it.
Now I gotta sleep, up early tomorrow for school, weyhoo!
