 * del. Foreign dicdef. Every language in the world has myriads of non-translatable idiomatic expressions. Idiomapedia, is due, I guess. But definitely no wiokipedia for them. Mikkalai 16:24, 26 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Merge into Costa Rica under culture. Excuse me, I'm a newbie here, but perhaps instead of merging, we could expand the Tico page to include Pura vida? Also, I know something of the formation of the phrase, it's history.  Maybe this could be it's own page and we mark it as stub?  Should I expand this out to include the history too?

 * The question is: does the pura vida have any circulation in English language? mikka (t) 19:53, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Okay, I'd have to admit that 'Pura vida' in English is mostly only used by those who have visited Costa Rica, or want to. But if that's not sufficient for it's own page, I still think it should still be mentioned in the culture section or one of the related pages.  (With or without the history).
