Hi, welcome! Great point about family
Hi Claire, I think I remember reading something from costaricapages forum from you? Welcome here also on Central America Forum. You raise a great point about family. Extended family often has more of a role here than where we came from, so that leaves most of us guests without family less connnected. It takes such a long time to establish non-family connections, as you say, the society isn't built around those kinds of connections. Have you found that after two and a half years you are developing some of those connections despite the obstacles, or are the obstacles too big? Peter
