What are Ticos like?
You will find the vast majority of Ticos (Costa Ricans) to be very gracious, non-confrontational, helpful, friendly and hard working.  Please smile a lot, be polite and respectful, have a sense of humor, show your appreciation, and offer a good hand shake.  Speaking a few words of Spanish (gracias, por favor, hola, etc.)  will go a long way.  You will need to be very patient...everything just takes a little longer here (okay, ALOT longer!).  Please avoid being impatient, irate, angry, or having an attitude...it will not serve you well in our country.
