Sending letters and packages!

So packages might be a little unrealistic considering the fact that I will only be gone for 5 weeks but if anyone wants to send me a letter here is the information ISA sent me. ^_^


For letters, address them like this:


Brittany Stewart Y/O ISA
P.O. Box # 101-2010 
Zapote, San José 
Costa Rica, Centroamérica

For packages mailed through UPS, Fedex or any other non- USPS companies that require a physical address (not a PO Box) use the following address:

Brittany Stewart /ISA 
75 m al norte del Parque de los Mangos 
Edificio amarillo de 3 pisos 
Zapote, San José 
Costa Rica, Centroamérica


They also sent me page after page of information about what to send and what not to. But to shorten it up, don't send me drugs, don't insure stuff for outrageous amounts since I will be taxed on the amount it was insured for and don't describe items in complicated terms since the custom agents might not be the best at English and will hold anything they don't understand. 



I absolutely love how the addresses in Costa Rica are like


75 meters north of Mango Park
The Yellow Building with 3 stories


No street names, no numbers. That is awesome!


But Oh My God is that going to be obnoxious once I'm there!
