1. Busses that go from one department to another are fine, but don't take the city busses unless you want to risk getting robbed.
2. Great places to visit for tourists are: Corn Islands, Leon, Granada, Ometepe, and San Juan. Managua is kinda shitty except for some spots, or unless you know a local.
3. Nicaragua is safe, like other places, as long as you have common sense. For locals, big no-nos that most tourists don't know are: walking the beach (sand) at night-time, night time at bus-stops, night time on bridges. (If you go to San Juan, pay extra mind to night-time beach walks, and THE BRIDGE)
4. When you go out, stay at touristy motels (Managua not included! At small motels you meet a bunch of people who are there for the adventure just like you and will make awesome friends from around the world!

As an American, I do agree with this list. One thing I want to add is the tipping still applies to delivery services such as pizza or food in general. One thing I did not know when I moved out when I was eighteen was that the delivery fee was not a tip to the driver! They do not get any of the delivery fees so you'll need to tip15-20% on that too. However, chain fast food places do not accept tips such as McDonald's, Taco Bell, Fazolis, Dunkin Donuts, Burger King etc.

a-virtually all the news we in the US hear about Nica is propaganda aimed at punishing the Sandinista goverment (and the majority of Nica voters who elect them) for choosing their own development path. b- if you have the money to travel to Nica and things are so cheap there, bargaining over souvenirs is bad form. Save that for higher income locales.

I like how the don'ts of the USA are mostly about laws and giving people space, and you have to get a picture of the police car, and the don'ts of other countries are, don't pack a lot of stuff, or give people extra time, or dont forget to bargin.

Why bargain? Give them what they are asking for. If the U. S dollar is that more powerful then just give it to them. It will be a great help to them and you won't even really notice. 20 NIO is. 57 cents in USD. You're gonna bargain for. 57cents?

Nicaragua is a great place as long as Outside political influence (USA cough cough) isn't trying to help blow it up for its resources. Thank goodness that didn't end up panning out. Looks like a beautiful country with beautiful people.
