We know how to orientate between high towers and to navigate hundreds of streets. Back home. But what about Costa Rica?

Martin, an Ex-Pat in San José writes:

“There are no road names, no numbers. Even if there are road names, nobody uses them. Everything is referred to ‘landmarks’. A bank and a church are the most common landmarks in towns. So for example, the address of the AIESEC office is: 600 meters south, 100 meters east of National Bank in San Pedro. Every block is 100 meters. If you write a letter to someone, this would exactly how addresses are put on the envelops.“

Yeah, Costa Rica is sometimes though. But the waves are worth it, that’s for sure!
