Cute little scamp, isn't he?
So picture sitting down to breakfast. You’re having a nice plate of eggs and some fresh fruit when a monkey comes bursting in through a window.
The sharp-eyed little guy, who might weigh about 10 pounds, surveys the situation. His finely tuned senses spot a bunch of bananas hanging from some sort of rack. Before you can even think to reach for your digital camera -and before anyone else can- he seizes a banana and slips back out the window.
Meanwhile, everyone else in the room, all 20 of you, abandons breakfast to see more of this brash little primate. He shimmies up a telephone pole, banana in hand, and crosses over the street via a telephone wire. There, he shares his banana bounty with the rest of his troupe while everyone snaps photos.
That’s Manuel San Antonio, Costa Rica, in a nutshell. Monkeys add even more flavor to a vacation than a bottle of Salsa Lizano.

Oh man, I would be really upset if a little monkey stole my banana from me on my vacation! But if he is as cute as Aladdin’s monkey friend I guess it would be okay.
Banana … less than $2 a pound. A monkey stealing your banana? Priceless!
Now, if he’s steal some of the “banana hammocks” the German tourists were wearing, we’d all be laughing if not scarred for life!
Lol you wanna see monkeys you should visit my college! Monkeys regularly barge (read : barge) into classrooms and right royally take food, pencils, the odd mobile phone, four years of under graduate study with those guys in the background all the time, it wasn’t even remotely cute :-/ Besides, they could get reeeaallly violent if you attempted to shoo them away from mobile phones.
I guess one country’s monkey is another’s overgrown rat!
