[QUOTE=Enperadore;1293180]Managua has a lot to offer specially at night[/QUOTE]Would you mind telling us about what you do in MGA? Most people I've talked to tell me it's a dump and everything is spread out. One person did mention casinos with regular girls but what else is there to do in MGA when you aren't mongering?
* Thanks

* Thanks[/QUOTE]The Diamond. Elite. Solid Gold, are not for you. I know you are more of a budget monger.
Tar Heel had some good points, but if you notice it is almost totally hunting Chicas. This is almost always the case at night in Latin America. I think BA in Argintina may be exception, but you already know that.
My Novia's sister just got robbed on a bus in MGA today. Always a wakeup for me as I get too relaxed in Country.
Took a 70 kilometer ride to the Pacific today from Granada. Water was warm, but ruff.
There is one thing that you may like. Outside of MGA they have hot springs baths, and a suana heated naturally. 40 Cord admission. I forget the name, but there are others also in Nicaragua. I went there twice to cure some congestion I picked up. First time the water was to hot for the bath, but as few days later after a rain the pool was OK.
Speaking of wake up calls. [url]http://www.cnn.com/2012/06/14/world/nicaragua-american-prisoner/index.html[/url]. Giving me second thoughts. They don't even have a Canadian embassy in Nicaragua so I'm totally screwed if a crooked cop decides to dump me in jail on BS prices. That being said that guy's mistake was that he lived there like a real resident and owned property. Dumbass thing to do. Never buy real estate in an 3rd world country and make sure you have a foreign income stream. You can't trust the low-life people and government in Latin America.
That being said. Tarheel thanks for the report. Seems like according to WikiTravel that HipaHipa, Moods and Broder all have entrance fees of about $7-15 (150-300 Cordobas). Not bad I guess. I assume HipaHipa is the best place to find a "Gringo Hunter" because it has the most expensive cover / most exclusive?
Also, where can I get tested in Nicaragua and how much should I expect to pay for a test?
I guess I may as well spend a couple of days in Managua if I decide to go to Nicaragua as I'll have to get in to the airport there. Granada just seems very safe because of the high tourist ratio as well as SJDS and Leon. If you were staying for a month in Nicaragua what's the best place to settle in? Ocean is highest on the list, but also considering easy of finding a gringo hunter and monthly rental prices.
You can see everything in one or two days. There's action, but little else.
Granada has more to see. But, not much action. I was told by ex-pat living in Granada they were talking opening a club / brothel.

Thank you for your responses.

About 20 clicks from the International airport. I went again today to try and rid myself of my congestion. The sauna was so hot that you could only do about 5 minutes. The pool was to hot for me, but a few tried it for a while. Funny thing in the sauna. A lot of people were spreading honey, and salt on their bodies.

More expensive cover does mean more exclusive, and the more exclusive clientele is generally young professionals who, while attractive, are not so interested in finding a Gringo. If there is a Gringo Hunter there, she will already be accompanied by her Gringo or rich Nica bf. A better bet is el Chaman or some of the bars around Bello Horizonte which are cheaper and have a bigger mix of clientele. The interesadas which you are looking for are more likely to be hanging out there or in the mall where the cover doesn't keep them out.

They have several locations around the city and give results fast. It should be around 300 cords or so if I remember correctly.

This person would help you 1/10th as much as a good lawyer who can get you out of everything.

Strip Clubs
Good Times. The Diamond. Elite. Solid Gold
Seriously man, tons of shit to do in Managua at night![/QUOTE]You know that 99% of the members here speak no Spanish and 100% of the women at the malls speak no English, right?
I am always amused by advice that includes strolling around malls and picking up girls like that with no ability to converse beyond hola.
The strip clubs are overpriced and I heard Elite is closed. Solid Gold is a joke.
Raises doubts you either are there or have been there.

Money talks, so if someone with limited spanish tried hard enough I'm sure they could pull something out of the mall.
Personally I'd advise guys to get the strippers after hours for cheaper.
Granted my experiences are diff than the normal monger as I am 25 years old and speak some spanish.
I will be hitting up Nicaragua for the first time in a week. Can't wait!

Hipa Hipa and Moods is a more affluent crowd that will in no way be interested in your normal old gringo monger.
I doubt you would even find anything in Chaman Bar.
Broders is a young crowd so you can scratch that too.
For the older gents out there I'd stick to the strip clubs, malls, local markets, ect for non pro's.
Now if you speak atleast intermediate spanish and dress and look good then you might can pull something in Hipa Hipa.
