Things I Do in Nicaragua that I Didn´t Do in the US

1. Eat meat. Of all kinds. Since coming here, I´ve eaten steak, chicken, beef, pork, pork rind, hot dog, and liver.

2. Not wear a seat belt

3. Ride in the back of pick up trucks

4. Throw trash in the street or out a bus window. There aren´t that many trash cans here and everyone else does it. I know, horrible.

5. Get parasites. I`m on my third batch, actually I´ve only had parasites(specifically amoebas) twice and a bacteria infection once.

6. Wake up before 6am

7. Be in bed at 9:30pm

8. Addicted to a soap opera

9. Sweep my room daily. All the floors here are hard floors because it gets so hot, so dust and dead bugs really collect.

10. Eat Oreos. There aren´t American style cookies here. There are Oreos and (if it´s possible) even more processed versions of Oreos, so Oreos are the best sweets option
