An international destination that you would like to visit review

I especially would like to visit Africa or India. To know more about these countries. And I'd go to help people who live there.

Missionary friends have told me such great needs live among people in these countries as including lack of education and health systems.

I think most of the time we think about vacation paradises where but we forget that the millions of people can't read, write, or know of God, and who lack many daily needs.

There are beautiful places to visit and to learn about, but we must also feel a desire to help those who need us into our hearts.

Restaurant review

One of the restaurants which I enjoy going to is Il Ritorno, since I like Italian food.

This restaurant offers a varied menu ranging from pasta, pizza, seafood, steaks and not to mention the desserts and wines.

Something that caught my attention the first time I went to this restaurant was that the chef approached our table to offer their specialty, and share us a glass of red wine ... With rarely does know the "Wizard" of the kitchen.

The focus of this Restaurant is excellent, they really strive to give good customer service.

I can really recommend. It is located in Barrio La California, 200 meters south of KFC, San Pedro, San José.

Impact of video games on the Costa Rican society

I would like to stake that I am not against video games, but the mismanagement of them.

Clearly video games have come to build up a latent problem in our society as it is:

1. The sedentary lifestyle. With the exception of Wii Sports, all video games require the player to stay in one position during the time allocated to play, which is causing obesity and health problems, as there is no physical activity.

2. Violence. In Most video games contain large-scale violence, which affects the behavior of children in schools and colleges and even at home.

3. Pornography.

4. Children grow up in a world in with they are not able to share with other people, resulting in people who are introvert and unsociable.

My criticism is directed to those whom often try to fill gaps in the family time with this kind of entertainment.

Prison life

The life of the prisoners inside the prison reform. - From what I have observed many times I've been there. - Is very sad and depressing.

When one enters one of these prisons one can feel the loneliness, sadness. However the administrators have been concerned about it' and try to provide possible means of distraction, such as to forming football teams, having a “Gymnasium”, with a few machines so that prisoners can exercise.

On the other hand within the existing Reform gift shops prisoners can work and are paid the minimum wage. This is a privilege given to prisoners with good behavior.

Prisoners also have access to education, whether primary secondary, or university. In the case of university education it is the UNED, the education center that provides education to prisoners.

To conclude the life in prison will depend on the willingness and desire to change which has the detainee.
