Comments on Postcard from Costa Rica

as the sex pistols used to say: "a cheap vacation in other people's misery".

if i can't afford to go to europe or asia anymore, i'd choose costa rica, too.

cute. But i am now beginning to wonder if I am ever going to get back all the time I spend on the slog. It's a good thing my boss in Tokyo does not even know blogs exist. (he has an office lady print out his email)

@1. I totally, wholeheartedly agree. The only places worth seeing in this world are the expensive ones. Central America... Africa... these places are for poor people and there is nothing to be gained from visiting them.

Who's with me?

Coati!

Cuter than an agouti, though agouti is what fits in the crossword puzzle.

Hey, did you see any paticularly well-fitting Burger King pants?

@3:

i refer to tourist economies that exploit and debase local cultures. what remains of cabo san lucas that is "authentic", that is not sammy hagarized?

just like "artists" buying fixer-uppers in run-down neighborhoods, hippy backpackers are the shock troops of the bourgousie.

AWWW cute fer shure!
