A Multicultural Night Out – Priceless
This evening the three of us had a night on the town. It was two things: 1) One of the least expensive nights out we have ever had, and 2) One of the most multicultural nights we ever experienced.
We started by going out to dinner at a Chinese restaurant called Restaurante Excelente. It was owned by Chinese people who spoke Spanish. Three great meals and sodas for a total of $14.
We then took a Costa Rican bus to downtown San Jose. That cost us a whopping 26 cents per person. That comes out to three roundtrips for $1.56.
We then went to the 110 year old Costa Rican National Theatre and listened to the Costa Rican National Symphony play music written by the Austrian Composer, Mozart. This cost us $6 per person for a total of $18. Oh, by the way, the Costa Rican National Symphony is lead by a Japanese Conductor.To recap – we paid $33.56 for the three of us to eat Chinese food, ordered in Spanish, attend a Costa Rican symphony, that was playing music written by an Austrian, and conducted by a Japanese.
