Thumbs-up Nicaragua!
I half expected Nicaragua to be a land of cratered roads, street gangs and Latin anarchy. After all, one of the most common accounts you hear about the Central American republic in the press is that it is the "second poorest country in the Western hemiphere" after Haiti.
So it was a pleasant surprise to find that Nicaragua seems much more developed, safer and friendlier than is widely reported. Instead of a third-world disaster with tattooed gang-bangers on every corner in Managua -- a town synonymous with danger -- the city seemed to be a fairly prosperous, easy-going place. By prosperous, I mean that no one seemed to be going hungry, and there was plenty of hustle, energy and smiles in the market.
