I was getting anxious the other day. It was something on the lines of:

My hard-core backpacking friend Sophies calmed me down, slapped some sense into me, and reminded me that I probably only need to take one bag full of essentials. She recommended this website as it would help me narrow down the things I actually need. Thanks Soph.
Gallo Pinto
Gallo Pinto
(guy-yo peen-toe)
or “spotted rooster" is one of Costa Rica’s most typical dishes. The dish varies by region, and by family, but is usually a combination of black beans, rice, onions, and cilantro.
Will Gallo Pinto sustain me through my heavy withdrawals from kim- chi fried rice? How long will I last before I start to comb the city over for McDonald's french fries?
Over the course of several months, I will be documenting the successes and 'fails' of a Korean-American extranjera (foreigner) living and exploring Costa Rica.
