Overexcited street vendors, taco bell makeout sessions and awesome spanish teachers

I haven't posted for a week so I thought I would cram some stuff from last week into one post. The first was the person selling me pizza on the street. I had never seen anyone so excited to sell a 400 colonie (.80 cent) piece of pizza. The restuarant had an inside, but I decided to get it to go. Good thing because I think if I would have gone in the waitress would have talked my ear off. I gave a couple of polite gracias and was greeted back with no no gracias a ti. Con todo mi corazon. En serio. Really you are thanking my with all your heart? You had to be there to see it. She kept going on and thanking me and it was kind of awkward. It was like I was the only person who had bought something from the restaurant. The pizza tasted fine although I was worried that with all the emocion and excitement the waiter had that there might be some type of illegal substance in the pizza that would get me kicked out of Costa Rica.

The second experience was more gross than funny. And no, I was not fortunate enough to have a make out session with a tica at taco bell. But the PDA at Taco Bell was kind of disgusting considering how long it lasted and that they probably just stuffed down a couple bean burritos with salsa picante. Que feo no.

Finally, moving on to my awesome spanish teacher. I think she is awesome basically because she basically resembles my teaching style in the classroom. She is laid back, throws in a few jokes and tries to make things interesting and talk about things I want to discuss. I also like that, even though I speak spanish like a child, she speaks at a normal to quick pace and does not slow down. I think the only way to learn a language is to hear it at a normal pace and even with beginners like myself it is good to talk at a normal speed. It is also nice having class for two hours a week now instead of one.
