San José

The National Theatre of Costa Rica (Spanish: Teatro Nacional de Costa Rica) is Costa Rica's national theatre, located in the central section of San José.   Sometimes its hard to take in everything that's in front of you. So in those cases I focus on a small piece of the whole. There by easing the sensory overload and allowing me to enjoy what is before me.

I don’t think the staff member was courteous when I checked in around 8 PM on February 13, 2026. He seemed to speak to me in an unfriendly way and did not appear welcoming. However, I noticed that he smiled and was much more friendly when speaking with white guests. This made me feel uncomfortable. ...
