Living on the Coast is a lot like Oklahoma, people are for the most part nice.
Rude to not greet people in the morning, 1 of the first things children here are taught is to say Good Morning.
This morning I was walking down the sidewalk before 6am, from 20 feet away I knew the 3 Nice looking Women blocking the sidewalk ahead of me were speaking Miskito. As I stepped into the street to pass and not disturb them I said Teetam Yamni (Good Morning), they went silent.
Walked about 10 steps, 1 said Bal Nada (come here). I turned and walked towards them. 1 was animated, I said Sap Bas (be calm/stand easy) her friends laughed.
My Miskito was quickly running out but I always try to keep something up my sleeve, and I had an Ace....
Before 6am I made 3 Women Smile and shake their Heads, using a Language I never knew existed before I moved here.
