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.

This is the school that I have been assigned to by Rotary International.  Currently I am enrolled in the ‘Super-Intensive’ Spanish course.  This requires 5.5 hours of in-classroom time, most of which is conversational.  So far, I have definitely been impressed by the quality of the teachers and the organization of the school and administrative staff.
