Nowadays the customs around the world have changed and, our country is not the exception. Costa Rican life was different some years ago.
In the beginning of the last century most of the people worked in their own farms. Also, people wore other kinds of clothes, that were more practical and useful too. Men always wore hats and sometimes did not use shoes. Women wore aprons over their clothes because they cooked without electricity only uses wood. Furthermore, the family met at breakfast, lunch and dinner to take the meals together. Typical foods like “gallo pinto” (rice and beans mixed), tortillas, eggs and plantain.
In our country the changes are not only in food or clothing. The beliefs and the life style are changed too. Before, the families were very big. For example, my grandparents had 10 children. In contrast, today the families are smaller. My brothers only have two or three kids. Besides, the unique religious was catholic for that everybody had the same beliefs and the persons were more conservatives. Currently, catholic is the main religious but you are free to choose yours.
Today the Costa Rican’s life is faster, more complicated and sophisticated. The life’s styles are changed. People works very hard in their work places and do not share much time with their family. Before, most of people, lived in small towns, and their houses were simple. Now, houses are more expensive and most of the population lives in bigger cities.
Also, everybody has more facilities like electricity, drinkable water and a lot of services. Example of this is the transportation. In other times, the horses were the unique way of transportation now it is fast cars.
Definitely, our customs have changed. So for many people this is good, for others are bad. I really prefer old times because the families were happier than today. But, the real thing is: the world has changed and us too.
