You never know. You might win big. I just won $.10 See, this is why you wanna come.
Cause you win money here. I hate this game. Why do people do this? He quickly changed his tune after a big win. I won $2.75. I'm cashing out. Oh my god. Hahaha Now it's time for some Costa Rica facts The population is 4.9 million people They host more than 5% of the worlds biodiversity And their major religion is catholicism. Fruit and pancakes fore free. We got iced coffee from Karahe hotel and sat on the beach. Costa Rica is amazing. My favorite part about it is definitely the beach. The waves are incredible this website. I don't miss Maine right now. The beach is like so beautiful. And the locals are really nice. I've never seen anything so beautiful. So, spending all day at the beach What is it? Chicken? Marlin I really wanted to eat it, but I'm vegetarian for real this episode. Just like the local iguanas. And you know what? I got stuck between two iguanas leaving my room this morning. They really are everywhere. But don't worry about it. They're more afraid of you than you are of them. Just steer clear of the big ones with wings that breath fire and you'll be just fine. Time for some grub. I'm quickly learning eating vegetarian isn't cheap. But I'll do my best to find some good deals. No more hot dogs for me. Being healthy Although I definitely stole a few fries when Jira went to the bathroom After lunch we walked around and did some shopping Nothing really caught my eye, but if you're looking for souvenirs, you might want to stop by. They had glasses for $5 and some jewelry as cheap as a $1. And unlike some places in South and Central America They don't really like to haggle here. So just pay what they ask. We got back to the hotel just in time for sunset. It was so beautiful, I'd even consider getting married here but it looks like Johnny and Mary beat me to it. With all the love in the air, we decided it was time to drink and skip down the ocean holding hands with our new friend Cody. Cause, why not? Grabbing dinner down the street and Cantina BBQ You could take a cab from the hostel, but it's a nice walk. The whole restaurant is surrounded by jungle It kind of reminded me of Jurassic Park. Hopefully nothing comes out of the woods. This is the first time I've ever seen a fern that big! Ahhh! Hahaha That was Cody. He really likes dinosaurs. The food here is delicious. Lots of meats to choose from. We got a delicious healthy salad. My mom would be very disappointed in my table manners. I somehow forgot how to chew. After dinner we danced to live music and then we headed over to Salina to drink by their pool. I love Salina! Cody and I told Kai if she went in, we'd go too. And she called our bluff. So in we went. Along with my wallet that I forgot to take out of my pocket. Gonna start off day three with a song called "Love Buzz" from Cody's band Ghost Kitty. Costa Rica. Living entirely on smoothies and local pharmaceuticals. Hey!

My name is Chas Bruns. And I travel the world in search of the cheapest food hostels, transportation and tours so you don't have to. Which means you're going to get to find out some of the best places in the world to eat. Some of the best people in the world to meet.
and where to go to have a damn good time. And the best part is I'm gonna show you how to do it all "Dirt Cheap" Looking for a top of the line dugout or one hitter? Look no further than thediggeronehitter.com Sleek and rugged with a one of a kind patented design. It's the best you'll ever use. Costa Rica Land of lush, beautiful and exotic jungles and iguanas Ugly and majestic at the same time. We're flying into San Jose and then driving down to Manuel Antonio National Park. I wish it wasn't so, but to get to Manuel Antonio it's a three and a half our bus ride. And of course there are taxis, but we're going really far I suggest using Costa Rica Driver or Interbus. They range between $50 and $75 depending on your pick up location. It's a beautiful ride and you get to stop for souvenirs and crocodiles. You heard right. There's crocodiles. Big ones. Like 15 to 20 feet long kind of big. I got a banana for lunch for $.17 and decided to share it with the crocs. Who knew Costa Rican crocodiles we're vegetarian? Blew my mind. Just kidding. He totally spit it out. We got into Manuel Antonio just in time for sunset. Beautiful. We're staying at the Beachpacker hostel for $25 a night or $12.50 a person. It comes with a nice little porch two separate beds and a private bathroom. It's only a 60 second walk to the beach and comes with free breakfast. Speaking of the beach I'm heading back to check out the tail end of the sunset. So far, I'm liking Costa Rica. Jira said he was getting hungry, so we headed over to the Karahe restaurant. They had a disco ball and a pool, so I was a fan. And just like the Indonesia episode, I'm totally tagging along on another wedding. Our friend Johnny (the groom) is currently nowhere to be found so I'm having a beer with his dad. Cheers! Cheers! Costa Rica baby! There was a live band and happy hour is buy one get one free. So I'm totally double fisting it. And since my lunch only cost $.17 I splurged on this salad. Costa Ricans like to live healthy, so for this episode, Im going healthy. Jira on the other hand is not. And he's pissed off he didn't get to go to Indonesia with me so he's refusing to let me interview him about his spaghetti. After dinner we headed to the Jolly Roger bar and Casino. They have an adult size set of Jenga blocks. I totally thought Melissa had it in the bag, but apparently Johnny is a Jenga master. Look at that skill. True professional. Against my better judgement, I doubled down on my bet against him. Melissa really let me down. Good thing I only bet $.50 Wow. Speaking of betting, time to go in the casino. If gambling is your thing, swing on by Jolly Roger. - [Announcer] Yellow Productions presents. - Sentosa Island, in Singapore. Sentosa Island was originally a British military fortress until 1972 when it was redeveloped into the adults playground that you see on the video today. The old remains of the fortress remain at Fort Siloso Point, which is now a museum and has Asia's largest collection of big guns, and yes they are very big guns. Sentosa Island has come a long way from its past as a military fortress and for an island that's just five square kilometers it really has quite a few attractions.
You can think of it as Las Vegas combined with a theme park in a rain forest at the beach. The most scenic way to get into Sentosa Island is to take the Jewel Box cable car from the top of Mount Faber. It costs 24 Singapore dollars for a round trip ticket and the views are definitely amazing. As you come into Sentosa Island on the cable car, you pass over the Resorts World Complex, which has a large water park and is also home to Singapore's newest casino. To the left, off in the distance, is Universal Studios. If cable cars aren't really your thing, you can also take these Sentosa Express Monorail into Sentosa Island, it leaves from the VivoCity Shopping Mall and costs four dollars for the trip into Sentosa Island. The return off of Sentosa Island back to the Singapore mainland is free, so you could do what I did and take the cable car into the island and than the monorail back to the mainland. And if you are really adventuresome, you can walk to Sentosa Island along the same bridge that the monorail goes on and that will only cost you one dollar. If you take the cable car onto the island, you will arrive at Imbiah Lookout. The small hill on Sentosa Island is known as Imbiah Lookout. This is where the cable car stops from Mount Faber, this is also where the Luge takes off, there's a number of eateries and other attractions up here as well. If you like butterflies and insects, this is your place to go. I'm not really sure how they decided that the Butterfly Park should be combined with the Insect Kingdom, I'd go to see the butterflies, but not really the big insects, like that huge beetle. If you are a big kid like me, then you oughta check out the Sentosa Luge and Sky Ride. It's part debagon part go kart, but all sorts of fun, or at least that's what the sign says. You got to get a helmet to get on the ride and then they give you some instruction and then down the hill you go. One half of the luge ride is luging down the hill, but than the other half of the ride is taking this ski lift all the way back up to the top of the hill. If you start at the top of the hill, then you take the luge down and the ski lift chair back to the top, or you can start from the bottom at the beach and take the ski lift chair up to the top and then luge down. Every luge ride comes with one skied share ride, it's nice and scenic, but in Singapore it's hot and it's sunny and it's noon and I'm melting, it is hot on this chair. If you are really feeling adventuresome you can do the Mega Zip zip line, I did, you can see I'm in the harness, I just finished, pretty fun ride. The zip line ride starts at the top of Imbiah Lookout and goes down to this little island on the beach. The zip line is 450 meters long, 75 meters high and you reach speeds up to 50 kilometers per hour. When you start at the top, they clip you in, and then off you go down the hill. It was so much fun I had to go a second time. If beach going is your thing, Sentosa Island has a couple of man made beaches, they are nice and pictureus with white sand, but not a lot of waves, just for swimming and waiting. In addition to sand and palm trees, Siloso beach is also fronted by a number of beach clubs and bars. Great if you didn't bring a towel, but you still wanna be able to lounge. Also at Siloso is the Wave House, which is a man made wave, actually by a guy from San Diego, so you can surf, just you gotta surf here at the Wave House. For getting around the island there's also a series of Sentosa buses. They are free to ride and will take you almost anywhere you wanna go in 10 minute intervals. Along the beach instead of a bus they operate an outdoor beach tram, also at 10 minute intervals. And the final attraction I'll mention is the 37 meter tall Merlion, the mascot of Singapore. There are five official merlion statues in Singapore, this one being the largest. So if your travels take you to Singapore, definitely check out Sentosa Island, where there are attractions for the kid in all of us. (soft music) Thanks for watching, click here to subscribe. |
