- Our 2nd full day in San José started at the market, wow - so many things to buy! Everything between kitchen utilities to sandals, souvenirs, and food and fruits. We bought three different kinds of fruits that we never have tried before, one looking like a green potato 🥔 and another like a cherry from out of space! 🍒 Find out in this vlog if we appreciated the tastes 😋🤪 and please let us know what the green potato is in the comment section 🤣🙏
The weather here is unpredictable, bright and sunny, turning into a thunderstorm in seconds! When it rains in Costa Rica it sure is raining!! ☀️⚡️⛈️
We are not sure how we feel about this city, people are friendly, but at the same time we are constantly told by the locals to be careful, especially after sunset. We’ll guess poverty is one cause, and downtown you have to be aware of your things, there’s a lot of pickpockets apparently 🙁. At the same time the streets are well guarded by the police 👮♀️👮♀️👮♀️ making you feel safe, and at the same time you’ll look over your shoulder. 🙃
There is not much to see and do in San José so today we hung out in Chinatown for a while, and strolled the streets, having good food along the way. 🫕🍲🧆
Come along our exploring on film, and follow us on TH-cam 👍😃 Subscribe, and consider to share with your friends -it’s what’s keep us going. 🙏☀️

The place where you sheltered from the rain is actually the jade museum and the first floor is free.
The green fruit is not a root. And it was not ripe. It's called a june plum (yuplon in spanish)
Hi! Thanks for watching! Too bad we diden't know that it was a museum - would have been more fun to visit it, than just sheltering from the rain! The Yuplon is an aquired taste! Maybe we just haven't had enough yuplon to appreciate it :)
Very good
Hi there! Thanks for watching! Glad you liked it :)
The sponge is known as "paste" some people use it to scrub their bodies when they bathe. The first fruit is known as "uchuva" and is attributed aphrodisiac properties. The second fruit is known as "Chinese mamón". And the third fruit is known as "yuplón", its acidity lies in the peel, it is customary to eat it with salt and without the peel. Excellent video, thank you very much. 🇨🇷
Thanks for watching, and for your kind words - we really appreciate it! To bad we diden't know that we should eat the yuplón peeled and with salt. Would have been a different rating if we knew 😂
The red hairy fruit is Rambutan..so so delicious and sweet. Kinda taste similar to Lychee.
No es lo mismo? En Costa le decimos "mamón chino"
Hi there! Thanks for watching, and thanks for helping us identify the fruit! We have to try it again :)
Pura vida 🇨🇷
Thank you for making the video I missed my country, the coffee is different is delicious with cow milk
Thanks for watching, we really appreciate it! It’s a beautiful country and we would love to be back someday
It is called Paste and some people in the past used it to bathe and remove dirt. 1:05
Aha! Thanks for clearing that up, and thanks for watching!
At 1:06 -- Looks like loofah to me. It's a gourd (same family as cucumbers and squash), /Luffa cylindrica/, which is dried, peeled and used as a scrubbing sponge. In reply to @MrEedelgad and @fraggas49 -- is "paste" the Costa Rican name for the plant? Or the plant product?
At 1:19, 1:50 and 9:20, the hairy red fruit -- I concur, it's a rambutan (/Nephelium lappaceum/, native to Malaysia, a member of the soapberry family). In the bins to the left are dragon fruit (red, a.k.a. pitaya /Stenocereus sp./ or pitahaya /Selenicereus sp./) and granadilla (yellow, /Passiflora ligularis/).
La fruta verde es es mango sin madurar, se corta en tiras y se come con limon y sal
Eso lo explica todo 😂 ¡Tendremos que volver a intentarlo con sal y limón!
Es un mango? pensé que era un yuplon??? Igual es super ácido y se come con sal le da un poco más de sabor
@@yitoleon la semilla de yuplon es diferente, en otros países le llaman manzana dorada o manzana de oro al yuplon, y el nombre yuplon viene de yew plum que es ciruela judia
No. Esa fruta se llama yuplón.
@@MrEedelgad nunca es un yuplon la semilla del yuplon.
Taking walks in the center of San Jose in Costa Rica is safe, it is not Switzerland, it is not as dangerous as some places in Brooklyn (N.Y.) or Mexico City in Mexico, there are also homeless people and some muggers, who bother tourists a little but there are a lot police like in those cities. The normal of the modern world. Obviously you are not going to take out and reveal all your money in the middle of the street. You just have to be careful as in any capital city in the USA.
