Thanks. > I’ve met a Costa Rican tourist in Europe who had a flag hat, shirt, backpack, and a small flag in hand. That's very common with tourists, and it makes sense... you're travelling through other countries, representing your own. Same with carrying a flag in a protest or at an international sports event. That's very different to putting up a flagpole in front of your house to fly a national flag.
