This review is from: Culture Shock! Costa Rica: A Guide to Customs and Etiquette (Paperback)
If it's a 'traditional' travel guide you're after, with bus times and hotel prices, then this book isn't for you.

But if you really want to get inside the Costa Rican mindset, then it's fantastic. I read this book before I visited the country and it really helped so many things about how the Ticos behave make sense to me.

The writing style is fun, and I love how the author has peppered the whole book with little personal stories and experiences to illustrate her points.

I'd strongly recommend this book to anyone who wants to do more than just scratch the surface of the country - especially good for anyone going to spend a long holiday in Costa Rica or even move there.
