Things are not so different in any other country for that matter. If you don't know your business in the US, you get ripped off as well. Big problem with people settling in these countries is their perspective. They have a hard time to really understand the people. Some of them try to learn the language, but that's about it.
Nicaraguans, Sandinistas, PLC.. why do you need to lable these people? That's your main problem. You feel you're better than them, more intelligent, better educated and more money. You may not agree here, but it's a fact. One just has to read your publications to find that out. It's the main reason for the US's exterior problems, 95% of the US feels this way. When the president of the US finishes his talk to the people with the words "God bless America", he is reveiling the essence of the problem. Did you ever think about that? Why would God bless America? Why not bless everybody who could use a little blessing.
I see this on a dayly basis.Americans walking around like they own the country, no respect, no humillity at all. Rest asure there other foreigners as well like this, Americans are the worst though. That's why they're not popular. When you considder the history of Nicaragua in this case, being ripped off for centuries by people like yourself, you might be a little less surprised at the results you're getting.
From a Nicaraguan's point of view you're a f....ng Gringo, with too much attitude, self indulged, fat and loaded with money you stole ages ago from his family. You don't give him anything to change that perspective. So what's strange about you getting swindled out of your money? Your obviously no businessman in your home country, what made you think you could be one in Nicaragua? Because you are wise and intelligent and everything is so cheap?
Try to sit down with the people on the same level. Forget about your heritage. Two guys doing business. You have and he needs. Use that to your advantage. Let him make some money and don't be cheap. At the end you'll both make money and you earned respect. Respect is what you need to be succesfull in Latin America, if you don't want to lie and cheat.
Good luck to you all and God bless whoever needs it.
