Q: Tico temperament? A: The Costa Ricans are nicknamed Ticos. Women are Ticas.
Most Ticos are very laid back and calm, which is probably why they have the third longest life expectancy in the world. Things happen slowly, such as ordering a meal, going to the bank, getting things done etc.
When they say we will meet at 10.am. it could be 10:30am, when they say five minutes it could easily be twenty minutes. "Tomorrow" means "maybe sometime".
They do not like conflict and will simply walk away if you get angry, so, remember you are a guest in their country.
Relax, take a deep breathe and enjoy not being in the rat race.
