Hi! Would you let me know a few things about Costa Rica? 
 It is a country in Central America and the official language is Spanish. The official currency is colón. 
 Cool! I didn't know about their currency! Do you have any more info on it? 
 Sorry I do not but I can tell you something else about the economy. Even though 20.5% of the population live below the poverty line, Costa Rica has one of the highest standards of living in Central America. 
 No problem! Wow! What other things do you know about the economy there? 
 Instead of spending money on military they spend it on education and health. 
 Well, I have never heard that before! How about the History, can you give me some info on it? 
 Bananas rivaled coffee as the Costa Rican export while the foreign-owned corporations began to hold a major role in the national economy and eventually became a symbol of the exploitative expert economy. 
 That's neat! So bananas are a big thing there! Any more information about their banana plantations? 
 There was The Great Banana Strike a major labor dispute between peasant and United Fruit Company. This major event eventually lead to effective trade unions in Costa Rica. The company was required to sign a collective agreement with its workers in 1938. 
 Hmmm, very interesting information! Thank you so much for your time! 
 You are welcome.
