If you do stupid stuff you'll get stupid prices 😂 thats a World Wide Rule. Always be aware of your surroundings and don't get involved in politics, as they're the most corrupt in Countries with DEMOCRACY 😂😂😂 Its Wild how well informed this Vlog is 👍🏽
Hey Scott. I know I'm not too young to retire in Nicaragua, and Google gave me an answer, but since you live there, I thought I'd ask: Am I too atheist to live in Nicaragua? As is, I live in the buckle of the bible belt, so I know how to not advertise, but I was kind of hoping that León, being the academic center, might be a bit more, um, open. As always, I truly appreciate your insight.
Nicaragua is officially a secular country and the population's relationship with religion is - mixed. There is an old guard of very Catholic people. There is a lot of new whacky American cults, like a lot. But there's also a huge secular culture. When people say that they are Catholic, mostly they mean that they practice loosely some form of native religion with symbology from the Catholic church, no one remotely practices normal Christianity here. But there are loads of churches and processions. Most of the population sees Catholicism as a symbol of their culture, not a religion. Certainly there are adherents, but they aren't actually the norm. Living here, outside of marriages or festivals or architectural tours, religion doesn't come into daily life for us. It's not because we are in Leon, most of the country is this way. Certainly all the big cities. It's like Europe but with old new world religions behind the curtains instead of paganism (which in the end just got rebranded Catholicism, lol.) This is actually a very good place to not be religious as there is a LOT of support from the people for avoiding religion, and strong official support from the government. The government gives no "special status" to cults to operate above the law like in the US, Israel or Saudi Arabia where unelected religious leaders hold sway over laws and politics. This is a modern country :) ruclips.net/video/riXh4pWd8Zc/видео.html
@@ScottAlanMillerVlog Thank you! More than you may realize, this answer sealed the deal for me. Now, I wait on the US gov't to send my docs so I can travel. I'll buy you another coffee next week :)
China has not even hinted at being willing to discuss that, let alone approved it. At this stage, not even an engineering study has been agreed to or discussed. The Chinese have committed to assisting with an engineering study for a railroad but only from the west coast to Managua, no farther (at this time.) A canal would not likely make Nicaragua more appealing for retirement. It would likely increase cost of living like in Panama. It may or may not be good for the economy, that's the big question. But for expats, it's hard to imagine a benefit directly.
Just agree and tell them you was brutally attacked in Nicaragua and when he enquire how and why you was attacked then you tell them you never been here so how can I be attacked, in other words until you come here snd experience it on your own you should abstain from making up s”@&t
Thanks Scott, very informative, as usual. 😊

China is going to help fund the construction of the new canal across Nicaragua. This is going to make Nicaragua much more appealing.
China has not even hinted at being willing to discuss that, let alone approved it. At this stage, not even an engineering study has been agreed to or discussed.

Thank you so much for all your videos. One of my friends says it's very dangerous in Nicaragua. What do I say to him how do I counteract that?

No good answer, but I made a video about it.
