I went to Japan through YFU on the summer of 2008 and here are some suggestions or some things to expect if you want to study abroad and homestay in Japan as well.

Check out http://www.brooklyn.liu.edu/globalcollege/lac/ the Global College Costa Rica Center is located in the northeast part of Heredia City, across the street from the National University. Heredia, named after a Spanish Captain in 1763, is 10 miles north of San José, Costa Ricas capital city. In addition to the hospitable climate, students find that the Ticos, as the local people are known, the Centers faculty and staff, and the homestay families are equally as warm. At the Latin American Center, students have the opportunity to live among and study abroad in the interweaving factors that make up the reality that is Central America today. Costa Rica is an ideal location as a departure point for the rest of the region since it comprises so many of the characteristics common to other countries.
