Sometimes you may find that it is the little things you miss when you come to Costa Rica. One thing I missed terribly when I moved to Costa Rica was bed sheets. Though you are able to find bed sheets at low reasonable prices the material used is different than what I am use to. I even paid for custom made sheets just to find that they felt stiff and like plastic.

The best way that I can think to explain it is that bed sheets in Costa Rica are made of a material that feels like window drapes. This may not be true in San Jose but for your smaller communities you will probably find that this is true.

Because of this  on my first trip back to the States, I picked up some new bed sheets and I brought my own back to Costa Rica with me. When bringing anything into the Country it is always a good idea to take whatever you bought out of the packaging and carry it in your luggage. Customs will stop you for something as little as bed sheets if it is in its packaging thinking that you might try and sell them once you are here in the country.

For the most part you will be able to find whatever your heart desires here in the country but don’t be surprised if you have to pay a lot for it, and other things well let’s just say there is no place like home.
