I honestly had no idea that you only posted as Peter Christopher, and I thought you used Pedro and Peter interchangably since I don't need to explain to you the obvious since you speak both English and Spanish.  And to answer your query I like you haven't had to work as much as others, but I have had to go to college, get a degree, do all the good things expected of a Nicaraguan man who for whatever reason was born of a lineage where things like that are expected.  Unfortunately for me I am primarily a thinking man, and don't have the advanced degrees in " hard " subjects or finance that others in my family have.  I have a B.A. in World History with an emphasis on the Roman Empire and since I don't like working with kids or anyone under 18 for that matter I have had to focus on more hands-on ways to make money, much like yourself, but I put my writing, English and technical skills to good use and I currently work for a law office in my area.  So I don't do " dirty " work, I never have and most likely I never will, being that I others usually defer to me for my intellectual abilities and historical knowledge and worldview.  I don't take anything away from your work, Peter, and I honestly thought  " Pedro " was in point of fact, you.  I just find it really amazing that you chose to go Nicaragua and try to make an " honest " living, because as you found out the people there are crooks, not so much the poorer people but you met both Sandinisias and PLC bandidos and therefore your cordobas and dollars were wasted on exploits that I'm sure would have been fruitful in any other country but I know my own people and the ones in charge at any given time ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED and don't have any integrity whatsoever.  They are rude, crude, crass, conniving, macho, frivolous, uncouth and generally ill-mannered people who have no class whatsoever and cannot hold a rational argument, and once you offend them for any minor infraction that they deem is offensive, any little thing they are ready to blow your head off cos almost every Nicaraguan carries a gun with him or can get one easily.  The country is unsafe, dirty, degenerate and despicable in only a waty that the Third Wolrd can be.  Honestly, you who have pretty much made Central America your home, having lived in Nicaragua and Costa Rica and knows where else, having traveled through the rest of Central America, meeting all the people there... do you think they are " the friendliest people in all of Central America " and generally " warm, friendly, and hospitable to outsiders ", like the guidebooks say?  It's like those idiots writing the guidebooks are talking about little brown-skinned monkeys that are pacified and all you have to do is pet them the right way and they'll want to be your best friend, it's the age-old concept of our good friend William Walker's life's ideal of divince providence, the vestiges of " Manifest Destiny " still at work in the Americas.  How would you compare Nicaraguans to Mexicans?  You have noticed that while Mexicans are and can be openly hostile to Americans, especially White Americans, that Nicaraguans will smile and open their homes to you, but haven't you ever been to bar where the locals go, and hear the old-timers and all the borrachos talk about how the gringos just come in and do what they want, how they curse you under their breath and DO NOT want to have you there in Nicaragua?  Isn't that why you packed up and left Nicaragua, and went to English-speaking Costa Rica, where there are mostly White folks of European extraction, ready to open their hearts and country to their European brethren from up North who finally were smart enough to wisen up and plant their flag in Costa Rica instead of all the other Central American countries were the brown-skinned, cannabilistic savage indios live?  That's just how it is in Nicaragua, you can make sense of living there all you want, the fact that there is this website for English-speaking people to try and go there is a testament to how difficult it is.  Maybe in the near future there will websites for people who want to make sense of living in Botswana, or Burundi, or Rwanda, where all the nice Black people live who obviously like White folks, apart from the fact that they remember what the French did to them for over 200 years and would lo eat a White man for breakfast and pass around a White woman as a plaything so that all the bruthas in the tribe can finally have what the bruthas in the States are denied.  All I am saying is for every well-intentioned, well-meaning, happy and idealistic White person in the world who wants to change it there are 10 brown, black, yellow, or red-skinned pissed off subhumans who are happily waiting for the day when the White race finally makes it's exit, either through self-extermination through the massive abortion rates in all the Western countries or through racial suicide through the miscegenation that the White race is allowing to occur when every full-blooded White person marries and breeds with somebody who is not of Alpine, Nordic, of Meditterenean White extraction.  It's just how Adolf Hitler predicted it would be, wasn't he so ahead of his time?  Nothing can save Whitey now...
