Extractions: Topics GENERAL INFORMATION: People usually experience a variety of emotions when adapting to a foreign culture, ranging from excitement and interest in the new culture to depression and fear of the unknown. The difficulties and emotional insecurities that you experience can be a direct result of what is termed "culture shock"an often painful feeling of being "out of synch" with how people in a different cultural environment carry out their everyday lives. There are five fairly distinct phases to culture shock, each experienced in turn for various amounts of time, depending on your general adaptability, amount of experience away from home and other individual factors: Initial excitement: After months of planning, you are finally here! Everything is new and different and you are high on the experience. This phase begins with your arrival in the new country and ends when the excitement wears off.

From the indigenous peoples of the Caribbean coast to the Sabanero (cowboy) culture in Guanacaste, Costa Rican culture is full of a unique blend of smaller cultures that together make up an interesting mix. History of Settlement Costa Rica boasts a varied history. Before discovery by European (Columbus -1502) nations, the north of the country was the southernmost point of Maya influence and the central and southern portions of the country had indigenous Chibcha influences. However, the indigenous people have not had very much influence on modern Costa Rican culture. Most of the Indians died from disease and mistreatment by the Spaniards. When the Spanish conquistadores arrived in the 16th century, most of the settlements and cities were established in the southern-central part of the country that were less densely populated than the north, and where the European descendants became predominant.

Costa Rica Culture And History
A brief look at the History of Costa Rica and how it shapped the Culture of Costa Rica today
http://www.costaricalife.net/9/costa-rica-culture-history/

Extractions: Costa Rica Life Costa Rica Culture Travel Tips Costa Rica Currency Jan About Costa Rica Culture, a brief look at History Costa Rica Culture is unique in Latin American. Costa Rica, meaning rich coast, was named by the Spaniards who conquered the New World in search of gold and fame. On September 8, 1502, Christopher Columbus arrived on the Atlantic Coast of Costa Rica. He was so enamored by the golden mirrors that the Amerindians of Costa Rica wore, that he named this new land Costa Rica de Veragua (Rich Coast of Veragua). Beginning of Costa Rica Culture Even though of all the promised riches, supported by stories that were told of gold mines to be found in Costa Rica, Costa Rica Culture and History was to take a different course. Gold was not found in the amounts expected, and Costa Rica Culture was affected by turning out to be one of the poorest of Spain’s American Colonies. From the beginning, Costa Rica Culture was forged by hardship. Impassable mountains, impenetrable forests, raging rivers, disease, internal rivalries, and a lack of attainable ways of generating wealth oppressed the new settlers. The Costa Rica colonist was often reduced to living like the “savages” they had come to conquer. Forced to fend for themselves in a wild and untamed land they often made their own clothing out of goat hair or bark, used cacao (chocolate beans) for currency, and eked out an existence cultivating native crops using the available native methods. This apparent lack of initial riches had a powerful affect on Costa Rica Culture. It created a culture of humble and hardworking people, forced to work with Nature, which is still apparent in Costa Rica Culture today. Spain paid little attention to this far-off colony and Costa Rica Culture was allowed to develop, very much on its own.
