Too many folks,thinking they know too much about our culture,when in fact they DON'T.

Believe it or not,Nicaragua has MANY cultural faces,some folks in the North WILL act/react different than those south,thus creating a cultural diversity.
While those living in SJDS,Managua,RASS,ETCmay be in touch with the LOCAL culture,they may be out of touch with the Northern culture.
Just because you lived 13+years around the Granada area and the RASS,don't think you would be an expert on Nicaraguan culture.(just an example )
Or just because I run a sweat shop,or any business,I am an expert on Nicaraguan culture??
And still,One can't/shouldn't judge an entire country's culture based on isolated BAD experiences. yup, 'this guy screwed me royally, yup ALL Nicaraguan are thieves " . I read this a lot, too bad,often times the folks that come to Nicaragua to do business are the ones that fail to understand the Human side of things, that makes folks show their true nature/culture.
Though most guys on here will say that education and politic is 100% responsible for our culture,I have to disagree, some of the BEST human beings I've ever met, are Illiterate Campesinos and could care less who's in power(unless their land gets confiscated) which the F$LN would not dare do.
I suggest to GET out THERE, travel Nicaragua on it's ENTIRETY, spend a few months at a time in different cities and farm land, not just Esteli,Granada,Leon,SJDS,Managua, or the RASS,interact with folks ,until ANY of you do that,your cultural analysis of Nicaragua means NOTHING and is NOTHING but an Opinion, which we are ALL entitle to :-) .
