We lived in Siguatepeque, a little north of Comayagua. It's at about 3400 feet, so the weather is milder than on the coast. I don't understand why so many people want to live on the coast-too humid, too crowded and too expensive. Sigua is ... Read More

In reply, I would say that if I was 25-30 again, I would be married to a Honduran and have five kids. I would have to get her about 300 miles away from her family, though. They are stuck to their family like glue and it's rather nerve-wracking ... Read More

Superior attitudes to wards the local hondurians by Nelson84
I have noticed that the expats on this forum have quite an attitude towards Hondurians like they can't drive or they are not as good as them. Not cool makes expats sound like there are so much better than Local Hondurians.
That would be "Hondurans" without the "i". I may make fun of how provincial Hondurans are, but I have a lot of respect for how resourceful and hard-working they are. They do a lot with very little. I think the problem lies ... Read More
