Hotel project in Nicaragua or Panama

what else do you want outlawed solohobo

when i was young the statement ....there ought to be a law against that...was very popular

....now there is a law against it...have to go to 3rd world countries to find any freedom in this world

..rarely see a jet ski in taganga...a short distance from rodadero and santa marta where they are in numbers...but it´s only a matter of time

..they are ready to tear down the malecon...further restrict the fishing boats for the turism business trade...doubled their occupancy levels in past few years...all the while ignoring their sewage treatment which flows down the hills to the malecon where you cannót help but step in it if not super cautious

...time to move on...with a sad heart but much like my feelings over many places in costa rica where the gringos and their car rentals and western tastes has drastically changed the serenity of a once beautiful country

..but alas we still have puntarenas where the solohobos of this world fear to tread...in fact blast when puntarenas is the only thread linking the country to its past history

Solohobo your anger consumes you.

There are two chinese places on that street but they aren't great. I was just trying to get out the few places that are good. I can get an ok meal almost anywhere in Santa Marta but oddly enough the downtown part is the most challenging.

I live in a neighbouhood in Santa Marta close to cisne where I don't think a white guy had ever visited before me. It's great but I like to go to places overrun with gringos once a week so I can speak some English. I find a lot of those gringos are pretty cool. I usually hit Mojito net (thanks pada mi recuardas) and the garaje after where there is some gringo music (well a couple of songs a night) some loneley planeters and some superfine chicitas.

I used to run away from other gringos but now I run to them.

Sure, the food sucks in Santa Marta. It's the best for me only because of my awesome herb garden and my costena wife who learned a few things from her Italian friends. Oh, and the farmers who sell some great fruit and vegetables from their donkey carts.

Do you know what's cool about Santa Marta is the carefree people. There is more racial harmony there than anywhere else I have been in Latin America and the class lines are at least a little blurred there. The city of Santa Marta isn't great by Colombian standards but the real attraction is the natural wonders near there.

I really like how you can quickly go to Taganga or El Rodelero depending on your mood. For me El Rodelero is great for a hangover and Taganga is good to Party (I think a Colombian would tell you the exact opposite).

Hi,
Thank you very much for your post. Concerning the homework, that s what we are doing at the moment. I am a bit surprised by your revelations concerning the devolpment of the tourism in Nicaragua. All the information that we have collected reveal that the tourism is increasing and not dicreasing.... but perhaps you live in this country and you have other studies.
Concerning the tax environment for the foreign investments in the tourism industry, we found information on the INTUR website. What we wanted toknow is if what they say is true or is just something nice written on their website. Again if you have your business in Nicaragua I am sure that you know better than us (behind a computer in France) what the reality.
Looking forward to have more comments about this country.
Cheers

Chircan-

I am not consumed by anger, just find it odd you make statements, dont back them up, and then change the statement. Everything you are you say here, we challenge, so get used to it or make true statements.

I love to be challenged but you take it to a personal level. Try to stick to the issues. "Chriscan is full of BS - Don't listen to him" Not too constructive.

If you think we live in a world of truth and lies, right and wrong, you live in a different world than I. There is always more than one path to the place you are going.

I like being challenged. Keep it up, just keep it at an idea level, not personal attacks and slander.
