xxxxXXX Cont'd

Really... I don't know if I really want to finish this story. I would have to make complete sentences with the words "underwear" and "boobs"...... I'm embarrassed already. 

Awkward to the MAXxxx

The couple that lived in our apartment before us left us all kinds of information that they thought we might find useful. One business card in particular was for a masseuse that happened to be very nearby and VERY cheap- less than $10 for an hour!!!!!! Amanda and I were like Heck Yeah! 

So early one Saturday morning, we decided that was going to be massage day. I called the lady and asked for 3 massage appointments- for me, Amanda, and our friend Brendan. She promptly stopped me to tell me that she did NOT give massages to "gentlemen." That should have been our first warning sign about this lady..........

Well sorry folks ('folks' meaning Heavy), but I have to stop here. I have to go to sleep so that I won't HATE life tomorrow at school. So.... creepy massages to be continued.

Buying the Rentals

Amanda and I watch a lot of movies here in CR. When we moved here, we thought we would be too busy studying (yeah right) to watch much of anything, so neither of us brought many movies. While I was at home for Christmas, I went into Hastings to buy a few magazines for the flight back to San José. We had heard some good reviews on a couple of Spanish flicks, so I wondered over to the Foreign Films section just to check out the prices. I found both movies for ONLY $1.99! I thought well heck, I'm gonna see if I can find any more bargains. After searching high and low, I found 12 movies all priced for ONLY $1.99. I sent Amanda a text telling her "JACKPOT!!!!!!!!!!" I was so excited! I had even found some of the coveted classics (like Three Amigos)! I was thinking I stumbled on some 'out of this world, unpublicized, after-Christmas, super movie sale.'  So... I went to pay for my treasure, and the kid at the register asks me if I had my Hastings card with me. I know that I gave him a super weird look and asked him, "Do I need my card to buy these?" And he says, "You can't buy these. These are all rentals.".................

Apparently, after only a few months in a foreign country, it is possible to forget how movie RENTAL stores work.
