Ok, it’s a definite conclusion: Central America is an island on what music is concerned. It’s not only in the buses and radio – wherever you go you only listen to Latin tunes. Even in a relatively OK night club in San Jose there is little evidence of European or American dance music. Just Spanish-spoken tracks. And a bit cheesy too, I’ve to say.

By the way, the word “mini-skirt” shouldn’t be used to describe how Costa Rican women dress up for a night out. The word “belt” is more appropriate. Crazy stuff…
