​@ScottAlanMillerVlog no where to click to actually reserve when you go to VIP service on this website though. (I found this too... maybe your wife just emailed them??)

I would assume that she just emailed them. Email and WhatsApp is how most things work here.

@@ScottAlanMillerVlogyou just made my flight on Feb 5th with a total of 5 bags so much better; thanks for the heads-up.

Awesome! Let's get coffee (or beer)

jajajaja

1. The canal is SO far from being even a glimmer of a possibility that there is no reason to be thinking about it in any sense whatsoever. 2. The canal is unlikely to move the needle heavily on cost of living. That is not what made Panama expensive (and Panama isn't that expensive really anyway.) Even if the canal did happen, it would take a decade, at least, if not two. And the financial gains of the canal would take another decade (or three) after that to have impact. And if the canal did happen, it might make Nicaragua cheaper and drive the economy down rather than up. But at best there is a .1% chance of the canal happening. There is, at best, a 15% chance of it being seriously discussed. THis is SO unlikely and SO remote and SO far off in the future if it ever happened, no one alive today should be seriously worried about general impacts.

Wow that's a lot, what airport in Canada came out so high?

@@ScottAlanMillerVlog we live in Niagara Falls Ont, so we wanted to flight out of Buffalo. AA to F. Lauderdale and then Spirit to Managua. We weren't going to save anything adding the exchange rate. It will be Toronto, a 2 hs. stop in Chicago and straight to Managua.

Thanks!

Such as?

All places have equally deep culture. Being Mayan vs Toltec doesn't make one deeper than the other. Nicaragua has ancient Toltec and Incan history too.

Guatemala was the capital, but Nicaragua was colonized first. Granada and Leon are the oldest colonial cities in the region both at 501 years old now. But colonial history is a recent thing on top of the indigenous culture and histories which run back, in all of the region, longer than human memory.

I know. i talk to people about it a lot. lots of confiscated drones too, though. most drone footage is people taking risks and not posting till they leave the country. i live here and am totally identifiable so can't do that.

Thank you!

Oh that's awesome. I wish I'd have seen this before I got home. I just left downtown.

Hopefully, but that's biting the hand that feeds him and very unlikely that he's going to be allowed to undermine the funding source for his party. He's an extremely bought and paid for corporate servant who doesn't get to make his own decisions. He can say anything he wants in his rants, but we'll see if he's allowed to do anything that cuts into corporate profits once the rubber hits the road.

It's hard to say what normal is. My own experience is that subletting has not been allowed.

I agree only once the doctor system is fixed. As long as doctors aren't free and readily available, I can't agree. It's a paywall to survival. Your safety is held hostage. The theory is good, but I believe it is sold to Americans as a scam to keep us agreeing to being extorted and held hostage by the industrial medical establishment. It sounds good, but it's a message designed to trick us into ignoring the problem and accepting corruption without overly questioning it. It's a process that I support as well, but ONLY after other processes are fixed.

@@MichelDagenais-lz3kv it’s safe for tourists. For micas it is not safe, 10% of the country is in exile right now , it’s a human rights disaster. Don’t talk politics and you should be fine .

​​@@andresluna351 I have to challenge your statement that 10% of Nicaraguans are in exile. I just read 10 articles from very anti-nicaraguan (Voice of America, Amnesty Int'l, etc.) and the numbers they give are 200+ in 2023 and 300+ in 2024, so, 0.01% if my math is right. The majority of those exiles were taken in by the US so you can draw your own conclusions as to whether those exiles might've been agitating for a hostile foreign agency. Since you base your premise that it's not safe for nicas on the false figure of 10% of nicas are in exile your premise falls flat. Unless you can produce reliable documentation that 660K nicas are in involuntary exile I have to challenge that claim.

@andresluna351 who are you afraid of in North America that you'd give up your integrity to post something so obviously false? I assume some immigration officer in the US is looking over your shoulder right now making sure you write what they tell you to write?

@dkurtz1162 and those numbers from VoA and others include all the voluntary exile which, AFAIK, is all but like four or five people. The US exiled that many US citizens just last month to Mexico (which doesn't make it good, just a comparison.) In nearly all cases it was "optional exile instead of jail time" for normal crimes. That's not actually deportation, that's expatting if done anywhere else in the world. Imagine how many Americans in prison would opt to go live in another country instead of in prison if the option was given to them!

It's a bit odd that they are everywhere but here, that's for sure.

I would not doubt this, but know nothing of it first hand. But those systems are definitely set up for that and I do know someone, first hand, who had that done to them in Canada. It's a real thing and there is so much money in it that the courts are highly incentivized to participate.

Uber Eats is "there", it has the most restaurants listed on the site. But none available for delivery the entire time that we were there :(

That’s a bummer and inconvenience. I mentioned to my teenage son what you said and he told me his best friend lives in TX and that uber eats is horrible there. His friend told him they cancel orders frequently and they’ve even eaten from his order 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮.

It was NY where I tried it. BUt I'm not surprised in TX.

That might be fine for antibiotics, and it might be true, if they were available inexpensively without having to pay an arm and a leg and were able to rapidly get approval whenever necessary. REality is this is what is taught as an excuse (because the problem is real) to justify holding necessary medicine hostage to force you into an expensive, slow, dangerous and otherwise unnecessary medical system that is often unavailable or carries a risk of refusing service or making mistakes. It's rhetoric that American doctors shove down the public's throats to try to justify extortion. My daughter already knows this and still thinks it's crazy to withhold this and MANY OTHER necessary medicines that don't have this same problem. If only antibiotics were treated this way, the argument might be true, but because they are not and even air compressors and other non-medical devices are lumped into the prescription only system obviously it's not true as to why they aren't available.

@ there’s no denying that the US healthcare system is broken, and strictly for profit, this doesn’t justify applying antibiotics to remedy minor issues. My cousin has her own private practice clinic in Nicaragua, a very well known clinic and we’ve discussed ad nauseam how it’s counter productive to prescribe antibiotics for all issues.

@ScottAlanMillerVlog Big pharma has to get paid mate 🤑

@CDio1 for sure, but you see an issue there. If your cousin has their own clinic, presumably she is a doctor. And the doctor is prescribing the anti-biotics. So in that example, which is also what I've found in the US, the easy availability of anti-biotics isn't the problem, but doctors recommending them. You are absolutely right that we should be much more careful with anti-biotics, but everytime I talk to a doctor (in any country, not picking on one) they always start with anti-biotics anyway. Not needing a prescription, when it's going to be the prescription anyway, doesn't greatly impact things.

If we don't reduce the water flow, all of these blow apart in the first five seconds. Our water pressure literally breaks them apart. That's why we replace them so often, someone accidentally turns the water on too far (nowhere close to full) and it rips the threads apart.

But I can go to Mexico. Belize, Guatemala, Argentina, Bolivia, Costa RIca, Panama, all without a problem. The US has a different food supply that we really notice.

@@ScottAlanMillerVlog make your food forget restaurants or fast food

How I express it shouldn't be what makes you sad. That the US makes me need to express it is the thing that should cause sadness, not me pointing it out. I grew up in America and there are great things about it, but it's a country that abandoned its people and it isn't the facade you see on TV. It's meant to look a certain way, everything is a show, a front. But under the hood, it is struggling poverty and corruption. If what I point out makes you feel sad, work to change things. But it is a huge place that was founded on many of these values and as an expat I can tell you, our power as expats is that we can choose the right place to be because all of us are essentially powerless to change the place we come from. Your expat power was to choose the US over Guatemala because you couldn't change Guatemala to be the right place for you. My power in being an expat was being able to leave the US because there is no way for me to influence any change there.

@ScottAlanMillerVlog I know you love Nicaragua, but I remember in the 80"s when Vinicio Cerezo, Guate's president back then, signed an executive order, saying that every nica who touched guatemalan soil, will have all the rights to be treated as a guatemalan, soon enough we had waves of nicaraguans coming into Guate city, we had pinoleros all over the place, there is a place in Guate city called little Nicaragua in zone1, and dont take wrong, they are great people I like them a lot, but taking the decision to leave their country for the opression they were living, tells me a lot about the type of government the Ortegas are imposing over their people. Last year, we guatemalans sent over 20,000 thousand million dollars over to Guate, which constitutes 20% of the guatemalan PIB. Those moneis go directly to our people, that make our people build better infrastructure for our communities, and the US is provinding those means to make our living better. Think of that when visiting Guate, a lot of those little restaurants you visit when enjoying Guate city. The US doesnt just hand us the money, we work hard to make it, but we guatemalans love hard work, and the country that let us do it to make the US and Guatemala great.

It obviously tells you nothing. If any nice country gave me "rights as a citizen if I touch their soil" you had better believe I'm traveling there just to get another passport. That's amazing. THe US did that to Cubans to brain drain the country. ANd in the 1980s, that was when the US was trying to destroy NIcaragua militarily, so all it tells you is that the US was killing people and they needed to get away. The oppression was from the US, obviously, as you know. Anyone who knows the region at all knows what the US was doing here, and in Salvador. So you have a good example of why anyone being killed by American military and weapons wants to get to safety, and why everyone wants a free second passport, and that Nicaraguans aren't dumb. So what you say is "obvious" is that the US hates Nicaraguans and that all Nicaraguans both in Nicaragua and in the US live in constant fear of what the US will do to them (citizen or not) and have to say things to appease the US because there is never really confidence that you can speak honestly when you live in America. Especially if you weren't born there, the right to deport always exists no matter what, and it is really exercise, as it was this past month with Americans being sent to Mexico. It's obvious that you are afraid of speaking the truth because you live under the thumb of the US government. Otherwise you'd not pretend that Nicaraguans leaving as the US wages war in their country isn't obviously Nicaraguans seeking safety.

Not many people do. My kids did when they were little, they are the only ones that I know. I did when I was little, but I was a very different era. I grew up before the threats against children alone outside started. The fake news of child abductions were after my time. So I was at the rail end of a world where kids could roam freely. Now people worry that their neighbors spy on them and call CPS to take your kids away if the neighbors don't think you have close enough control. Many of the behaviours we thought were normal not that long ago are unusual now. Obviously some people still build snow men and play in the snow. But almost always with hovering adults, and only a fraction as often as when I was a kid.

MTMA! (Make Texas Mexico Again!)

Any time I go to Nicaragua, then when come back home on Canada, the food make me sick for around a month. In Nicaragua the food is mire organic

I use to think the USA had an obesity problem however returning to Nicaragua most people over 25 yrs were overweight 😂😂😂 and I don't blame them as the food is so damn good 😋 and mostly organics.

I lived in Oregon for 30 years then AZ and now in Nicaragua and the horrendous quality of life that has changed for the worst is incredible in Oregon, My daughter bought a 900 q ft house in Portland for $400,000 and there was 2 RV encampments with in a block with blue tarps and multiple rv's without tires on them

Then why doesn't the restaurant provide a kiosk to order from? I already do not eat out. Not affordable, only for the rich in the has-been corrupt USA. Yet another reason for me to leave.

What's odd is that the app creates more work for them, not less. It's super inefficient.

ALl of the ones with apps did in my experience. But none of it works, lol

I went to a burger place in Penn Station that only had kiosks, no counter. App was useless. A McDonalds in downtown Louisville had 1 register with no one working it and a few kiosks - when I entered an employee walked by and asked ‘did you order off the app?’

I was in the midwest too on this trip.

dramatic, wide brush and generally inaccurate at a minimum hahahahhaha terrible illustration for those not in the know hahahahha

"Flushable" wipes are not flushable. Plumbers could tell you stories of what they find. Nothing more than toilet paper should go down the toilet. It is called _toilet_ paper for a reason. Glued together with water-soluble glue, so that it dissolves in water. Put your wipes and whatever else in the trash can. I have never heard of a clogged trash can.

​@yosefmacgruber1920 Great facts 👏 unfortunately comosence sometimes doesn't exist much these days😂

@@yosefmacgruber1920 Maybe so in some cases. I've been using them for 15 years and never had a clog or plumbing issue - and it's more hygienic. Most areas I visit in Central America have less robust sanitation. Waste cans are provided whether you're using wipes or paper.

@Xrusader the problem is that using wipes as a normal person will never give you the information that you think that you have. YOu can have used wipes your entire life and never know more than someone that has never used them, which I explained in the recent video on flushing. THe clogs or plumbing issues are NOT inside your house, they are municipal and they are well known. Now if you have your own personal septic system and use them for several decades, you might have some insight, but only if you are the one dealing with the clean out of your own septic can you possibly have insight and even then, it's quite limited. ANd of course, that means that my information is equally as uninformed. ALl I know is that it is considered common knowledge here that all flushing is a problem, but it's all tribal knowledge and might be in accurate and/or out of date. We have no way to know for sure. Over time, it has become cultural so there's no way to know if it was every true or has changed. BUt the same thing goes for wipes. Every municipality says that they aren't flushable, but millions of people think that because they've flushed them that they are because they aren't thinking about the plumbing miles away, they think "not flushable" refers to their own observable portions of the plumbing. And can we ever know for sure?

Thank goodness, dont' want neo you know whats coming down.

I like how "woke" means literally anything now. do you know nothing of american politics. learn the basic lingo before trying to use the tough words of the fearful. woke just means "im scared of my own gender identity " by those that use it.

I was, obviously. That's the only one.

I have no memory of saying people were unfriendly. Cold yes, but never implied unfriendly. I even checked the captions, and the word never appears. You made this comment as if I had said something about people not being friendly and then suggested I'm not friendly because of it. That's a big conclusion to get from something I don't appear to have even said. Why would you say that to someone?
