Ok. All the birthday party madness is over. Now I can properly introduce myself and the hostel. Since nobody actually reads anymore, I won't bore you with elaborate descriptions. I'll just go the 'Reality TV' way and show you a live video. Welcome to 4 minutes of Castle Tam:
This is the early Sunday morning video where everyone is still recovering from the Saturday night festivities. Which means they're still in their dorms nursing a hangover.
You get the idea. We have beds, kitchens, bathrooms, an outdoor courtyard and booze. The main things to take note of: we're cleaner than your average roach-infested hostel in Costa Rica, we're renovating and you don't see a bunch of white, dreadlocked, save-Mother-Nature-Rainforest hippie types. They are more than welcome to visit, but these tourists are already as common as the roaches here:
If you want to save Costa Rica, go back to your 1st world country, get a profitable job and invest the money in some foreign company that's in Costa Rica hiring locals. Corporate exploitation? Globalization?? Blahblahblah. Ask any local in a developing, high-unemployment country and they will tell you that even if you're employed as waiter, janitor or McDonalds burger-flipper, any job is better than no job. Assuming they speak English (which would get them a better job.)
Due to the early Sunday morning hangover, this video required an extensive amount of coffee to film. Thanks to the wonders of globalization, we have modern, fast imported coffee machines, and not these inefficient, traditional chorreadores.
Technology is great. This contraption is only good for kindling and tourist money.
