Now its been a long while since I wrote anything here… more close to 5-6 months I would think. I believe partly its been because I fogot, partly because I didnt have time and partly because even the most incredible, unlikely experiences become every day life after a certain time.

It doesnt wonder me anymore that people make their outmost to help you if you ask a question that they possibly cant answer or cant help you with directly. I dont get angry anymore because I go to the migrations office in Managua (after I asked my boss for half a day off) with, what I think is, all the papers that I need since I called 3 times before going there to ensure I have all the right papers and when I get there they tell me that a bucnh of things are missing and give me sheet of paper with exactly what is needed. I dont get annoyed anymore when I ask someone to do something at work and after an hour it still has not been done. I dont panic when see insects (however I do still ask someone else to kill them for me) and the past months I discovered that I dont just feel for this country but I love it, and a part of me is already feeling sad for the day I have to leave. Not because I really want to leave but because the opportunities here are so limited.

Since last time I wrote I have also travelled more in Nicaragua but Ive also been to the neighbouring countries Costa Rica and El Salvador. Both completely different from Nicaragua but charming in their own way.

So, I prolonged my stay in Nicaragua until July and finished my studies as well as my work at Hotel con Corazon. Now I am working for the tour operator Va Pues Tours and have decided that there are other ways to help Nicaragua up on its feet that doesnt necessarily mean voluntary work (which in the long run doesnt work anyway since I still have to pay rent and eat).

This was it for now and Ill try to write again soonish
