Every trimester the staff at ILE put on a culture day for the students. Classes are canceled and in their places are workshops and activities directed toward helping the students to better understand Tico culture. Last Monday was Culture Day for this trimester, and it was a nice change from a normal Monday routine. Unfortunately I've been having problems with my internet over the last week, and I haven't been able to upload pictures and video until now.
Culture Day was a blast. It was hilarious seeing these posed and proper Tico professors singing mariachi and dancing in the Chapel, as well as two of the three men teachers cooking in the kitchen. Actually it was a wonderful chance for us to get past the professional barrier and experience more of the lives of our professors. The day began with a bilingual presentation of what the day was going to offer, followed by the choice of two of four workshops. This trimester the workshops that were offered were: Recycling & Home Remedies, Music & Dance, Tico Cooking, and Sports & Games. I attended Music & Dance and Tico cooking.
