Managua

« This is just a simple photo with a lagoon, but the talk is not about it! I want to share my observations here, it's really an interesting way people interact with each other. Right from the first meeting, everyone greets with a handshake and inevitably goes for a cheeky kiss... This is quite unusual, as it initially felt strange, but over time, you understand this uniqueness! People here are incredibly friendly... Generally, it contributes to a relaxed lifestyle, VERY relaxed, I would even say full relaxation, without any tension!

For example, a taxi could stop anywhere, or just a car can pull over for someone to get in or out, and then people might stop to chat for a couple of minutes longer than necessary, holding up all movement... Of course, other drivers signal, but those who are chatting on the street don't seem to care! They talk just as leisurely as they drive, which can turn out to be a cultural exhibit, but it exists! Here, no one seems in a hurry! Everything is done slowly, even at the last moment!

Moreover, one shouldn’t rely too much on punctuality and people’s promises; often you can end up "meeting tomorrow", and as it is supposed to be, I will be ready, but it often turns out not to happen. So I'm in no rush; I get engaged in my stuff. So, it will be as it will be! This experience has been very beneficial for me; I used to plan everything far ahead of time before I started to deal with my projects in the coming days. Many times, things went differently than I had planned, and I often got stressed about it!

Now, however, as I get used to this laid-back life... it is basically full Relax and Antistress! 😄 »
