The typical food in everyday meals usually contains rice, beans, meat, vegetables, and plantains. Plantains are fried or cooked bananas. They are sometimes sweet. The cornbread is not like regular cornbread. The cornbread is luscious and pudding-like. Did you know that ice cream is becoming more and more popular?

Costa Rica’s government is similar to ours. They have three branches of government: the executive, the legislative, and the judicial branch. Every four years they elect a new president. In 2010 Laura Chinchilla Marada became the first woman president. The current president is Luis Solis.
