After a long and irksome 7 months, the Costa Rican consulate has finally decided to approve my visa... *claps?* So, it looks like i'll be heading to central America tomorrow!!

The past 3 days have been really hectic, running errands and buying stuff in preparation for the tropics, and i hope that it will all be worth it. I don't think i could have possibly done it all if it weren't for Zhao Yin who helped me a lot and put up with my horrendous temper.

Wish me luck and stay tuned to hear more about the mysterious latin rich coast!
