Central America has been a bit different to South America.
We really rushed thru, so this is just a few 1st impressions really.
People here are not as honest. The taxi drivers, bus conductors, money changers etc all seem a lot more into the concept of rippng gringos off. Especialy the taxi drivers. I have almost given up catching them, sick of being told to pay several dollars to go just up the road.
Peple here look different too. A lot more of a moix, and lots of West Indians with very dark skin. A lot of them are big, which makes for a change where in South America I was constantly the tallest person.
it is similarly dirty and warmer for sure.
Going to Europe will be quite a shock to the system.... I hope!!
I am hoping that time in Europe will make the filth, heat, poverty etc which is all part of life over here, seem interesting again. As with previous trips to developing nations, I find it all becomes very normal way too quickly.
God willing I wont spend the same money in a month of Europe that i have in the last six in South and Central America. Will keep this site posted....
