great article , thanks for sharing.
just one small detail, I am from Costa Rica and that image looks like it is from an arab family not a costa rican one.

I think costa Rica is actually not one of the happiest but at least we try to mask the negative and show positivist. Iike with many countries we need to fix many things like corruption and pollution . there is a lot of road rage here like on other countries. I actually dont like this 'news' that we are one of the happiest because it does not reflect the reality, it only reflects the attitude we have. We try to make the best from the situation.
