It is often the case that a scent can spark a memory, set a mood, or influence thoughts without even knowing that it's happening. Perfumes, colognes, and body sprays provide individuals the opportunity of determining the feeling that their scent provokes. Fragrances can be fresh, sexy, flirtatious, fruity, relaxing, and more. Having various options to suit your mood will help you feel confident no matter what the occasion. Wearing a fragrance can also help others to remember you.
Whether you are looking for a fresh, daily fragrance that you can wear to work or a luxurious scent for fancy nights on the town, there is a perfume to suit your needs. Products range in size and can fit easily in your bag for on-the-go application. There are fragrances to suit every price range, as well, so everyone can achieve their desired scent.
Fragrances are not just for women. Some scents are suitable for use by both men and women, while others provide a more masculine musk to appeal to the senses. Many men incorporate fragrance into their post-shower and post-workout routines to ensure that they always smell clean and confident.
Scents can appeal to other people and draw them to you. Choosing a fragrance that reflects your personality and style can go a long way.

270 students from 30 countries in 1 school
Georgia school helps educate refugees from around the world
Most students are not exactly thrilled when it comes to school and homework but three international fifth-graders might be an exception to the rule.
Igey Muzeleya, 11, grew up in Tanzania. His family moved to the United States six years ago to escape the wave of violence.
Eleven-year-old Aung Zawl is from Myanmar, also known as Burma. He has been living in the U.S. for about two years.
Paria Foroughi, 10, was born in Iran. Her parents wanted better educational opportunities for their children and the family also immigrated to America.
Muzeleya, Zawl and Foroughi are students at the International Community School in Decatur, Georgia, and they rarely miss a day of school.
"I like the school, because it's a fun place to be, fun place to learn and it's really cool to be in the school with all your friends," Muzeleya said.
"I like all the classes," Foroughi said. "They all teach you something interesting, something that I haven't learned before."
The charter school enrolls about 270 students in kindergarten through fifth grade. The real challenge, though, is educating students from more than 30 countries, some of whom have never before attended school or don't speak English.
The school was designed to meet the needs of the growing refugee population in the nearby city of Clarkston, Georgia, and the larger DeKalb County. The area has become one of the most ethnically diverse communities in the state and in the country. It is home to immigrants and refugees from Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Europe, who speak more than 60 different languages. The local government offers various programs and services, such as medical and housing assistance, which attract newcomers and help them transition to the new culture.
Some of the students who come to the International Community School must learn how to speak English. Many are survivors of war and often have to overcome trauma. In some cases, this is the first school they've ever attended. While some children need additional help or counseling, the goal is to avoid separating them from the rest of their American classmates.
"You see kids who don't even have the concept of school, they don't know what school is, and they come to ICS and in the space of a few weeks they become learners," said Laurent Ditmann, the school's principal. "This is not a school for refugee children any more than it's a school for American kids."
The school's is also very international and that eases students' language and cultural barriers. Non-native speakers have to pass a rigorous English language program. In addition, bilingual teaching assistants work with the main teachesr in every kindergarten and first grade classroom. Reading and math practice are also part of the daily schedule.
"If the kids see that you are invested in them, then they become invested in you, they become invested in what they do in class, because they realize that you care about them," said Drew Whitelegg, a soccer coach and fifth-grade teacher.
The school receives state and federal funds but relies heavily on donations, grants and partnerships with community organizations. Parents are expected to complete several hours of volunteer work at the school or in their community, as part of the school's charter system.
"Because of our fiscal structure, we cannot offer salaries that are commensurate with work experience," Ditmann said. "A lot of my teachers make a lot less than the teachers in the regular school system, but that's what separates them from other professionals - they really want to work here."
As an International Baccalaureate school, the International Community School has programs and activities designed to promote intercultural understanding and expand the worldview of its students. Often children from countries in conflict or at war might be sitting next to each other in class, school officials said.
"There is something almost magical about the place," said Ditmann, whose parents were Holocaust survivors. "It's a place of incredible joy."
Each year, the school celebrates its own United Nations Day, highlighting the school's vision of unity, peace and friendship.
"We march around holding our flags and wearing our traditional clothes from our country," said Foroughi, the Iranian student. "We recite poems, we do dances. Everyone's friends."
"School is fun, sometimes may not be as fun, but if you keep going to school, you get smarter and you'll be a better person," said Muzeleya, the student from Tanzania.
Foroughi wants to be a judge, Muzeleya wants to be a professional soccer player and Zawl wants to be an artist - dreams that school officials believe every child around the world should be able to pursue.

"Do Not Stay Here! Dried Urine!"
Reviewed Dec 1, 2013
Alley533 |
When I looke up the hotel and it had a Travelocity cert of excellence I was excited. My husband was an hour behind me in a uhaul. I secured the room and although the halls and entry looked dingy I thought I could make it work. After getting to the room, I called the hubby. Carpets were filthy, walls were smeared with who knows what.. He said we would make it work for one night.. So I got my 4 babies ready to bathe and went into the bathroom where I found dried urnine all over the toilet and floor. There was mold in the tub.. It was horrid. I have never been in such a filthy hotel. I immediately called my husband told him we weren't staying, loaded up our stuff, and my kids and demanded a refund. The desk clerk who was never at the desk didn't argue. Obviously this is a common problem!!! Nasty!

"Double charged for our stay here. It was also NOISY."
Reviewed Nov 29, 2013
A TripAdvisor Member |
We booked our stay at this hotel while attending our son's graduation at Fort Benning. The booking was done and paid for through Orbitz.com. Upon receiving my credit card bill I noticed we had been charged twice for the same room, once by Orbitz and once by La Quinta Inn. I called La Quinta to dispute this charge only to be told that the manager was out and I would have to try to contact her in 4 days. After faxing them a copy of my credit card statement, Orbitz will "research" the dispute for up to 10 days before they will do anything. My credit card company is disputing the charge, so I won't have to pay the disputed amount with my current balance, but I am still irritated that I have to spend time pursuing this. Now, about the stay itself... If you have a choice, I would NOT recommend staying here. We have stayed at La Quinta hotels in the past and our experiences have been mostly good. It seems this property may have been recently acquired and needs LOTS of work. We were placed in the room right by the front desk, vending and laundry. The walls are thin and there was a 2 inch gap under our door which we tried to rectify by placing a towel in the gap so the hallway lights would not blaze into our room at night and to help put a damper on the constant noise in the hallway. Each night around midnight, an employee (?) would arrive on a very loud motorcycle and park by our window. The laundry ran all night, then at around 4 a.m. this same person would start the motorcycle outside our window and let it rev for several minutes before taking off. There were no other rooms, as several bus loads of kids were also staying here. Even though the room was booked for three people, housekeeping would only leave two towels most days. The front desk was prompt about supplying more towels after requesting them. The bathroom could use a deep cleaning and a new door (the current one has layers of wood peeling off). There were remnants of someone's sandwich in the room's heat/ac unit.There was no refrigerator or microwave as was listed in the room description. Most days, several people would be standing near the front entrance smoking, so we would walk through a veil of smoke to get to our car. There is a liquor store right across the street...the wine helped. ; )

"Not a safe hotel for Women or Girls"
Reviewed Sep 27, 2013
WLSantaClrita | Santa Clarita, California
I went to my son's graduation at Ft Benning with my wife and my son girlfriend. The hotel in general is good for the price although the breakfast was not good. We came back around 9 or 10 PM one night. There were several men standing around the front door just outside the lobby and some in the parking lot drinking. They looked and strred at my wife and my son girlfriend in an uncomfortable feel for us. One of the men followed us in to the elevator. We pressed floor 2 he pressed floor 3. But when we got out he also got out and followed us toward our rooms. We stopped few rooms before our's and just stood there so he had to walked pass us and pretending to look for his room. By now he knew we did not trust him so he walked all the way to the end. He had no other way to go so he had to come back and get in the elevator and disappear. I called the front desk and tell her what just happened. The front desk lady told me "Oh the man is staying at the hotel". I didn't even describe what the amn look like and she knew who the man was. She did not have any concern about our safety. I will not stay there again especially with women in my party. The hotel should not allow people gathering in the parking lot or in front of the lobby for a long period of time. If they stay there and want to drink they should go in to their rooms. One day we came back from outside and ther was no towel at the sink outside bathroom. So I called them around 11 AM they said it will be taken care off. By 3 PM still no towel, I called again and the answer was you are on the list. I came back at night there was still no towel, I called again but this time I have to go down to the front desk get it myself. The day staff at check in in the morning was good and friendly. The night staff was a bit lazy to help you. I asked her to help check in my flight she said she could not do that on the front desk PC and I have to wait til morning so the day staff can use thier own PC in the back room. So next morning I asked the day staff and she checked in the flight for me using the front dest PC with no problem.

This is a renovated Baymont Inn. Hard to get to, it is on a one way street. Room was clean and updated. We had to move rooms, tv and ac were on the fritz in 1st location. Staff was very nice. Didn't feel completely safe, hotel across the parking lot had partiers in the parking lot at all hours. Along with other patrons, had issues with the internet. Probably won't stay here again, if in the area. Doors were always ajar, so anyone could get in not just customers with key access.

Polls: Confirm Hagel as defense secretary?
Plurality of Americans supports nomination
A plurality of Americans supports President Barack Obama's nomination of former Sen. Chuck Hagel to succeed Leon Panetta as defense secretary, according to recent polling.
The Nebraska Republican's nomination has been met with reservations from some senators from both parties, and even outright opposition, over past positions Hagel has taken on Israel, Iran and the war in Iraq.
According to a CNN/ORC International poll conducted Jan. 14-15 and released two weeks ago, 48 percent of the public said the Senate should confirm Hagel, with 22 percent saying no and three in 10 unsure.
On Thursday Hagel testifies in front of the Senate Armed Services Committee, which is holding a hearing on his confirmation.
The CNN poll indicated a partisan divide, with nearly two-thirds of Democrats saying Hagel should be confirmed. That number drops to 44 percent among independents and 32 percent among Republicans.
The CNN poll is in line with an ABC News/Washington Post poll that was conducted a few days earlier.

"Jeffrey Overstreet is a witness. While habituating the dark caves of movie theaters, he gives articulate witness to what I too often miss in those caves — the contours of God's creation and the language of Christ's salvation. … I find him a delightful and most percipient companion — a faithful Christian witness."- Eugene Peterson, author of The Message and Tell It Slant, on Overstreet's moviegoing memoir Through a Screen Darkly
"Jeffrey is ... one of my favorite film critics. He writes with great lucidity and compassion about all sorts of movies, from all sorts of angles, but what I value most about his work is the theological-moral perspective he takes on things. He's not a dogmatic scold, sifting through popular art looking for work that fits a rigid world view; he's more interested in Looking Closer, as his blog title suggests, to discover what, if anything, the work is saying." - Matt Zoller Seitz, founder of the film review websites The House Next Door and Press Play (at indieWire) and television critic for New York Magazine-
"Overstreet's writing is precise and beautiful, and the story is masterfully told."- Publisher's Weekly on Overstreet's novel Auralia's Colors
"In Auralia's Colors, Overstreet masterfully extends the borders of imagination."- Gina Ochsner, author of The Russian Dreambook of Color and Flight
"… [T]he spirit of the Inklings is alive and well and at least one living writer could have held his own at their table!"- Dick Staub, author of The Culturally Savvy Christian
"Jeffrey Overstreet is a trespasser. He's constantly moving outside of the borders of what church and culture deem to be ironclad, eternal categories (sacred vs. profane, high culture vs. popular culture) — and he has a knack for bringing people along with him. His passport? The imagination. ... When you trespass with Jeffrey Overstreet, you don't have to ask for forgiveness." - Image-

The hostage crisis in eastern Algeria is over, but the questions remain.
Among them, exactly how many people are unaccounted for at a remote natural gas facility after three days of chaos that ended Saturday, leaving at least 23 hostages and dozens of Islamist militants dead.
Some 685 Algerian workers and 107 foreigners were freed, the Algerian Interior Ministry said.
Britain's BP said Sunday four of its workers remain unaccounted for. And Norway's Statoil said five of its employees were missing, while 12 others are now home in Norway, Algeria and Canada.
"Search efforts are ongoing at the gas installation, looking for more possible victims. I fear the numbers will be updated with more victims later today when the search operation is expected to end," said Mohammed Said, Algeria's communication minister.
The attackers came from six countries -- only three were Algerian -- and included Arabs and Africans, Said told state-run Radio Algeria. Algeria's military found numerous "foreign military uniforms" in its sweep of the In Amenas facility, its Interior Ministry said.
Mauritania's Sahara Media news agency said Sunday it had a video from Moktar Belmoktar, who leads the Al-Mulathameen Brigade associated with al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb that regional media have reported was behind the attack.
In it, Belmoktar said, "We at al Qaeda are claiming responsibility of this blessed guerrilla operation."
Belmoktar has communicated with this and other news sites before, said Andrew Lebovich, a Senegal-based security analyst. But the news agency did not post the video, and CNN has not independently confirmed its authenticity.
Eleven former hostages -- among them British citizens -- have gotten medical treatment and psychological counseling from the U.S. military at a U.S. naval base in Sigonella, Italy, a U.S. official said Sunday. The hostages were brought from Algeria to the base Friday, the official said, and are being flown to their home countries as their conditions warrant. The remains of one American hostage were also brought to the base, the official said.
In a statement Saturday night, the White House said it was in close contact with Algeria's government to "gain a fuller understanding of what took place."
British Foreign Secretary William Hague echoed those remarks, adding his government is "working hard to get definitive information" about each individual.
Japan has 10 citizens -- likely affiliated with JGC Corp., an engineering firm that was involved in gas production in In Amenas -- who are yet to be confirmed safe, in addition to a number of dead.
Such Islamist militant activity is not new to Africa, including recent violence in Mali and Somalia.
Algeria's status as Africa's largest natural gas producer and a major supplier of the product to Europe heightens its importance to those who want to invest there. Yet that interest is coupled with pressure to make sure foreign nationals, and their business ventures, are safe.
Youcef Yousfi, Algeria's energy and mining minister, insisted Sunday his country can keep its gas facilities secure and ruled out foreign forces coming in to help.
"We are going to strengthen security, and we rely first on our means and resources," Yousfi said, according to the official Algerian Press Service.
Raids turn deadly
Militants in pickup trucks struck the sprawling gas complex about 50 kilometers (30 miles) west of the Libyan border at dawn Wednesday, gathered the Westerners who worked there into a group and tied them up.
The In Amenas plant is run by Algeria's state oil company, in cooperation with foreign firms such as Statoil and BP, and because of that employed workers from several countries.
The kidnappers wielded AK-47 rifles and put explosive-laden vests on some hostages, according to a U.S. State Department official.
Algeria said the attack was in retaliation for allowing France to use Algerian airspace for an offensive against Islamist militants in neighboring Mali.
And Sahara News' report Sunday claimed Belmoktar said "40 immigrant Jihadists and supporters of Muslim countries" led the siege in retaliation for the Mali offensive.
But regional analysts believe it was too sophisticated to have been planned in just days.
On Thursday, Algerian special forces moved in because the government said the militants wanted to flee to Mali.

Colnago was the first frame builder to see the potential of carbon fibre in the evolution of the cycling. He chose to match the latest technology with the concept of custom geometry frames. Muscular extension, flexibility and personal preference for position combined with aerobic and pedalling efficiencies are too many variables for a rider to be locked into the confinement of only a few frame sizes. This is why all the top Colnago frames offer lugged construction to fit all riders. Whether for one of the 130 Colnago-sponsored professional cyclists or one of the millions of demanding amateur riders around the world, there is a Colnago that offers the perfect fit. With this concept, Colnago takes age-old craftsmanship into the future.
Research and Method
Even with the vast availability of carbon fibre, there are a number of potential problems that can exist in the manufacturing process. Only with great investment in manufacturing technology can a carbon product be considered safe and reliable with no sacrifice to performance. The tubes of Colnago frames are built with an advanced filament winding system. This process, which is performed over a solid, stainless steel INOX core, yields a highly consistent wall thickness, even in cases where the tubes use intricate external and internal shape and structure. Moreover, thanks to the INOX "mirror treated" cores, all the different layers are compressed with extremely high pressures. This advanced process limits excess resin in the composite, reducing weight while increasing strength. This, plus advanced tube shaping and structure, yield the highest strength to weight ratio.
Construction problems
If to build a tube on a rigid core to be later removed is easy to imagine, to perform a complex structure as bottom bracket junction is pretty different and show problematic difficulties to be solved because of its shaped and because of all the different and simultaneous forces that come there together once in action. The fibres orientation, the nature of carbon type itself and the total control of the joining walls are the fruit of an exhausting research, laboratory and road tests. The carbon junctions of Colnago Frames are built by the same fibres of the tubes: made in Italy with the highest quality standards. As for the tubes are the sum of overlapped layers of unidirectional type alternate with variously oriented wefts. The interlaced layers are commonly named 1K and 3K, the best configurations to give homogeneity, strength and reactivity to a winning road bike. This comes over any aesthetic choices that some frame factory take without a real technical base.
Any detail makes the difference
Length and shape of the joining surfaces, layers an orienting of the fibres. Nothing is for nothing and everything is related to angles and dimension in any single frame to obtain the maximum homogeneity in reactions. The junctions of Colnago frames take shape around a special high density polymer to be manually destroyed after the polymerisation. This exclusive system makes possible to build a cave component with complex (multifaceted) shape without to renounce to press the stratified fibres under exceptionally high pressures, as it happens on the tubes.
Colnago and Frame Weight
The weight of the frame is a detail which is pushing unsafe products into the marketplace. The often unreliable and inconsistent traditional manufacturing process with carbon can produce end-products with often suspect yield and fatigue strength. Circumstances can lead inferior frames to not only crack, but can result in catastrophic failure without warning. Many processes used to lighten frame weight are simply not proven to be reliable. With technological application, it is possible to see frames in the marketplace with weights between 700g and 800g. These frames can be tempting to the consumer looking for the lightweight advantage. Colnago believes in a limit of 1000g. It is simply not worth sacrificing handling, safety and reliability for the negligible advantage of a few grams of static frame weight.
The comparison "Colnago is like a Ferrari"
The carbon fibre production in the entire Colnago 2013 product line is paramount in the marketplace. Not just the raw materials, but throughout the manufacturing process, no corners are cut. This is one of the most important considerations in the final price of a Colnago bicycle or frame. Another aspect is Colnago's unwillingness to go outside of Cambiago, Italy for designing all aspects of the finest bicycles available. This is why Colnago offers a unique style matched with the most advanced technology. "Made in Italy" on a Colnago product truly means "Made in Italy". Behind the Colnago signature lies the most meticulous and complex study of every aspect of the bicycle, from design table to final product. It is this investment in detail that make Colnago logo on bicycle analogous to the Ferrari Horse on an auto. This a comparison that Colnago welcomes with pride.

Although she's seen plenty of success with No. 1 hits like "Have You Ever?" and "The Boy Is Mine," there were moments when singer Brandy wanted to give up on music entirely.
On the road to putting out her newest album, "Two Eleven," the singer told CNN that "there were times when I tried to come back and it didn't work. Then I started to feel like, maybe this is not my purpose, maybe this is not what I'm supposed to do, because it's not happening to me."
It didn't help that others seemed to have little faith in her future as a singer.
"People are calling me a has-been, people are calling me washed-up and all these things," Brandy continued. "That starts to effect you mentally a little bit because you're like, 'Am I? Do I still have it?'"
But considering that she now has another album under her belt, "clearly there was another plan in place, and I was able to connect with that destiny plan that is within us all and make a different choice."
That choice was "to believe in myself so I can do what I got to do to have a relationship with the people that love my music."
The title of her new album represents evolution and purpose, she said, but it also has another meaning. "Two Eleven," or February 11, is Brandy's birthday, as well as the date of Whitney Houston's death this year.
"To lose my idol who introduced purpose to me, a dream to me, on that day - it solidifies our bond and what I need to do to go forward. The time is now," Brandy said. "I will never get over Whitney passing. ... I just have to do what I promised her, and I have to follow the words she gave me right before she died - which is another strange thing, that we talked right before she passed on. I'm in a great place and I feel like she's with me. I feel like she's helping the angels and God to guide me to do what I have to do."

The Mousetrap 60 Years and Still Going Strong
Agatha Christie's THE MOUSETRAP has kept audiences guessing for six decades...
As it enters its 60th incredible year in November 2011, this world record breaking production continues to attract audiences to the St. Martin's Theatre from every corner of the globe. In her own inimitable style, Dame Agatha Christie has created an atmosphere of shuddering suspense and a brilliantly intricate plot where murder lurks around every corner...
The Mousetrap first entered the record books many years ago on 12th April 1958 when it became the longest running show of any kind in the history of British Theatre.
During the phenomenal 60 year run there have been no fewer than 382 actors and actresses appearing in the play, 116 miles of shirts have been ironed and over 415 tons of ice cream sold. Some cast members are in the Guinness Book of Records - David Raven as the 'Most Durable Actor' for 4575 performances as Major Metcalf and the late Nancy Seabrooke for a record breaking 15 years as an understudy. And for the last 38 years, St Martin's Theatre has been the home of The Mousetrap - more than half of its record breaking run!
A 60p per ticket charity fee for the benefit of charities working with young people and the arts has been collected on behalf of the theatre (£1 from 23 December 2013 onwards).
The charities will include Mousetrap Theatre Projects, London's leading theatre education charity, which takes 12,000 disadvantaged young people to the best of London theatre each year, who would not otherwise have that opportunity

Great travel photos from around the world
On the secluded Costa Rican beach where I huddle with a couple of friends and half a dozen strangers, it's pitch black except for some distant lightning...
Birds, butterflies, monkeys and sea turtles are among the many creatures visitors can see in this welcoming Central American country
While most westerners are toasting their toes by the fire, Elyse Johnson of Vancouver will be floating in the infinity pool at the Palms resort in Liberia...
On my first day in Costa Rica, a woman in San Jose explained to me why bus rides in outlying areas can sometimes take four hours to cover 40 kilometres...
The decision to travel is your responsibility. You are also responsible for your personal safety abroad. The purpose of this Travel Advice is to provide up-to-date information to enable you to make well-informed decisions.
Crimes against tourists are particularly common at airports, bus stations, ports, car rental lots, crowded tourist attractions and resort areas. Thieves target foreigners' money, credit cards and passports. Cases of passport theft, including cases involving Canadians, are extremely common. Exercise caution and vigilance with your valuables and travel documents. Petty crime such as pickpocketing, bag snatching, and thefts from vehicles also occurs regularly.
Stay in busy and well-protected hotels, and ensure that your personal belongings are secure at all times. Never leave valuables unattended. Carry a photocopy of your passport, including the Costa Rican entry stamp, and any other travel documents, and keep your original documents in a secure place, such as the hotel safe.
Remain alert to your surroundings near the ports of Limón and Puntarenas. In San José, high-risk areas for theft include the Coca Cola bus station, the inner downtown area and public parks. On the Atlantic coast, be particularly cautious in Puerto Viejo and Cahuita; on the Pacific coast, Tamarindo, Jacó, Quepos and Manuel Antonio are areas of particular concern for theft. Cars parked near the popular crocodile viewing area along the Tárcoles River near Jacó are particularly vulnerable to theft.
Violent crime is increasing and is of significant concern to tourists and foreign residents. Since January 2011, two Canadian citizens have been murdered in Costa Rica. Over the past two years, eight foreign nationals (including one Canadian citizen) have gone missing. During this time, four foreigners (including one Canadian citizen) were murdered on the Osa peninsula.
Armed robberies and home invasions are also on the rise, including in beach areas and on the main highways in the central valley. Thieves often work in teams, in which one thief diverts the victims' attention while the other snatches their possessions. Beware of "good Samaritans" offering their help to change a flat tire, as they are often the cause of the situation. Carjackings occur, often at gunpoint. Remain vigilant in a stopped car and always drive with the doors locked and windows closed. Park your vehicle only in supervised commercial parking lots, and avoid travelling at night.
Drug trafficking is increasing in Costa Rica. Local consumption of illicit narcotics, particularly crack cocaine, is a key concern for the Costa Rican authorities along with the continued rise in drug-related violent crimes.
Cases of express kidnapping, where victims are picked up from the street and forced to withdraw funds from automated banking machines (ABMs), have occurred. Avoid showing signs of affluence, and remain cautious with new acquaintances offering friendship, hospitality or assistance.
Foreigners have been sexually assaulted at beach resorts as well as by taxi drivers in San José. Only use official taxis, and avoid those that do not have working door handles, locks and meters. Do not ride in the front seat with the driver.
As incidents of sexual assault sometimes involve the use of sedative drugs, avoid leaving your drinks or food unattended in bars and nightclubs. Consult our publication entitled Her Own Way: A Woman's Safe-Travel Guide for travel safety information specifically aimed at Canadian women.
If you are a victim of robbery or any other crime, we strongly encourage you to file a formal police report at the closest Oficina del Organismo de Investigación Judicial (judicial investigation department office) to ensure that local authorities can conduct an investigation and contribute to reducing crime in Costa Rica.
Occasional demonstrations occur in the capital, which may cause traffic disruptions. Strikes also sometimes take place and disrupt local services. Exercise caution, avoid large crowds and stay informed of possible roadblocks.
Costa Rica has one of the highest traffic accident rates in the world. Exercise great caution when driving or walking, since traffic laws are routinely ignored. Traffic signs are not sufficient. In some areas, potholes, sharp curves, landslides, and narrow or unpaved roads create dangerous road conditions. Be careful after dark, especially on rural roads. Travelling by road during the rainy season is particularly dangerous, given the increased risks of flooding and landslides.
Camera monitoring systems have been installed in various locations. Speeding fines are automatically charged to individuals exceeding the speed limit.
Only use official taxis. At the airport, licensed taxis are orange. Other official taxis are red with a yellow triangle on the side.
Public bus transportation is disorganized. Police checks of public transportation occur and are often used to determine whether foreigners have overstayed the 90-day visa exemption period.
If navigating the coasts of Costa Rica, proceed with caution, as safety and rescue operations are limited due to a lack of resources. There have been cases where the Costa Rican Coast Guard has sought the assistance of the U.S. Coast Guard, resulting in delayed rescue operations.
Consult our Transportation Safety page in order to verify if national airlines meet safety standards.
Several drownings occur each year. Riptides are very common on both the Caribbean and Pacific coasts. Few beaches are supervised or have signs warning of dangerous conditions. Seek the advice of local authorities before swimming.
Safety features on small boats are not always reliable. White-water rafting, scuba diving, bungee jumping, canopy touring, and other adventure sports should only be undertaken with a well-established company. If you have any doubt concerning the security of the installations or equipment, refrain from using them.
Avoid camping or sleeping overnight on beaches.
If you intend to visit jungle areas, always go with an experienced guide.
Few people outside major hotels and very few public service providers such as police, lawyers and hospitals are able to communicate in English or French. Most taxi drivers do not speak English or French.
Costa Rica has created a tourism police force (Policía Turística) dedicated to improving the security of foreigners. Dial 911 for police assistance.
It is the sole prerogative of each country or region to determine who is allowed to enter. Canadian consular officials cannot intervene on your behalf if you do not meet entry requirements. The following information on entry and exit requirements has been obtained from the Costa Rican authorities. However, these requirements are subject to change at any time. It is your responsibility to check with the Embassy of the Republic of Costa Rica or one of its consulates for up-to-date information.
Official (special and diplomatic) passport holders must consult the Official Travel page, as they may be subject to different entry requirements.
Canadians must present a valid passport to visit Costa Rica. Before you leave, ask your transportation company about its requirements related to passport validity, which may be more stringent than the country's entry rules.
Tourist visa: Not requiredBusiness visa: RequiredStudent visa: Required
Canadians arriving in Costa Rica may remain for up to 90 days without a visa. Those wishing to apply for residency status must contact the Dirección General de Migracion y Extranjería. Overstaying the 90-day period is punishable by a fine and possible deportation. Persons deported from Costa Rica will not be allowed to re-enter the country for 10 years.
Students must obtain a visa from the Costa Rican Immigration Department. They must provide confirmation of enrollment in an accredited school.
There is a departure tax of US$29 that is payable by cash or credit card.
Under Costa Rican law, minors (under the age of 18) born in Costa Rica and holding Canadian citizenship are considered to be citizens of Costa Rica, even if they are travelling on a Canadian passport. In order to leave Costa Rica, the minor's Canadian passport must have a Costa Rican Departure Approval, or the minor's departure will be denied. Both parents must request this approval from the Costa Rican Immigration Department or through the Embassy of the Republic of Costa Rica in Canada prior to departure. There have been several cases of departure denials because proper documentation was lacking. Minors with dual citizenship who are travelling unaccompanied must have legally certified written consent from both parents.
Children need special documentation to visit certain countries. Please consult our Children page for more information.
Some countries require proof of yellow fever vaccination before allowing entry. Consult the World Health Organization's country list to obtain information on this country's requirements.
For the latest Travel Health Notices and information on vaccinations, outbreaks and diseases, consult the website of the Public Health Agency of Canada.
The Agency strongly recommends that you consult with a travel medicine clinic or health care provider preferably six weeks before departure.
The Agency publishes travel health advice for Costa Rica.
Medical facilities are limited outside urban areas.
You are subject to local laws. Consult our Arrest and Detention FAQ for more information.
Penalties for possession, use or trafficking of illegal drugs are strict. Convicted offenders can expect lengthy jail sentences and/or heavy fines.
Canada and Costa Rica are signatories to the European Convention on the Transfer of Sentenced Persons, which enables a Canadian imprisoned in Costa Rica to request to be transferred to Canada to complete the sentence in a Canadian prison. The transfer requires the agreement of both Canadian and Costa Rican authorities.
If you violate Costa Rica's laws, even unknowingly, you may be expelled, arrested or imprisoned.
Costa Rican Immigration authorities state that all foreigners must carry original identification documents; however, local authorities will accept photocopies as long as the original documents are accessible.
It is illegal to photograph official buildings. Verify with local authorities before taking photos.
The Costa Rican government is actively trying to discourage sex tourism. Soliciting the services of a minor for sexual purposes is illegal in Costa Rica and is punishable by imprisonment.
Traffic enforcement is the responsibility of the transit police (222-9330 or 222-9245). Transit officers often perform roadside inspection of vehicles and request the driver's permit, vehicle registration and insurance documents. Traffic fines are not supposed to be collected on site. Travellers involved in driving accidents should call 911 to notify authorities of the accident. Do not move the vehicle until advised to do so by the police.
Terms and conditions of car rentals in Costa Rica are unlike most contracts in North America. You should carefully review contracts and, in particular, be aware of the mandatory insurance liability coverage. Many driving situations can nullify insurance.
The currency is the Costa Rican colón (CRC). To avoid complications, carry U.S. dollars or colones. It is advisable to exchange money at registered banks and exchange offices. Credit cards are widely accepted. Credit card fraud is a growing problem.
It is extremely difficult to exchange Canadian currency and traveller's cheques in Canadian dollars in Costa Rica. The maximum amount of traveller's cheques that may be cashed at one time is $500. Access to cash via automated banking machines (ABMs) is available in major cities. Only local currency can be withdrawn.
The hurricane season extends from June to the end of November. The National Hurricane Center provides additional information on weather conditions. Stay informed of regional weather forecasts, and follow the advice and instructions of local authorities.
During the rainy season (May to November, sometimes to January), flooding and mudslides occur frequently in the lowlands and in mountainous areas, including along the Caribbean and in the central cordillera. Road transportation may be affected as poor weather conditions during this season make road travel increasingly dangerous. Keep informed of regional weather forecasts and plan accordingly.
Costa Rica is located in an active seismic and volcanic zone. The Arenal Volcano regularly erupts. Pay careful attention to all warnings issued for national parks, especially for the Arenal Volcano area.

All Things Considered on KCCU-HD2
Weekdays at 6 p.m. and Sundays at 4p.m.
All Things Considered debuted on 90 public radio stations at 5:00pm on May 3, 1971.
In the 40 years since, almost everything about the program has changed, from the hosts, producers, editors and reporters to the length of the program, the equipment used and even the audience.
However there is one thing that remains the same: each show consists of the biggest stories of the day, thoughtful commentaries, insightful features on the quirky and the mainstream in arts and life, music and entertainment, all brought alive through sound.
