Managing Expectations
While I haven't been hung in red tape yet (knock on wood!), when I travel around Costa Rica on my own I usually expect something to go wrong, at some point. I've missed buses, spent hours in a bank only to be told there's something wrong with my traveler's cheques (moral: don't EVER bring traveler's cheques!), and gotten completely lost. But you slog through the lines and figure it out, and eventually get your money and find your bus.
