Posts: 230a friend had tigo wireless which was under contract for a year. lousy, slower than slow speed, and tigo nailed him for every bit of service (6 months @ $15 + termination fee) when he quit the service. the problem here is the contract - if you fail to pay they will definitely arrest you when you return. oh yeah - they wanted the card back too.
most larger hotels have free wireless and just sitting poolside usually means you avoided a cyber cafe...

Posts: 2656Internet Access
Has anyone tried Tigo's wireless broadband internet access card for laptops? I have an upcoming trip and I need fast internet but want to avoid going to the cyber cafes if possible.

Posts: 7Actually, flying to Tegucigalpa with AA was much more scary as their Boeing 757 are (as far as I know) longer than TACA's Airbus A320... in my opinion TACA is a safe airline, it is Tegucigalpa's airport which is (was) insane.

This landing was always scary and the Honduran passengers would appluade everytime the plane touched down safely. Now I know why.
TACA - Take A Chance Airline
Only flew with them once and didn't like the way they overloaded the plane with baggage. Better to pay more and fly with AA or Continental.
Seven mongers aboard?

Posts: 230Good that you had a fine trip, without incident, aggravation, or any other issue for that matter. Especially avoiding the psychos!
The actual age of consent is 15 years old, and a ***** at 18 would not become a liability. They were available and only wanted the quick money. The 'country' girl deflowered could be, although Hondo's appear to be exempt.
I did however, want to share an experience a very good friend of mine recently had. See, all these girls are ''18'' years old. Seems to me that all the prostitutes working the streets were born in 1990. Anyhow, he took this 18 year old girl for the usual 150 lmp romp and the very next day discovered she was 13 years old. She looked young as most 18 year olds do, but none carry a cedula. At times the police do a roundup of those without proof of age.
Fact of the matter is someone could see you take this girl who claims to be 18 years old when she is certainly under the age of 18. I prefer to gamble at the casino because 13 will get you 15 in this pais....
And once again, although it may not seem important to someone living outside this country....ALL the domestic courts are with female judges, female court officers and female district attorneys. A gringo is fucked from the getgo. Not only are laws regarding womens rights changing daily, but you can afford it and that it the bottom line.
And finally, IF some woman makes complaint against you for whatever reason you go directly to jail. Make no mistake about this; 15, 18, 21... she says something is missing you you took it.... you slapped her although you didn't....any thing; you go to jail in this country until it is sorted out. All she needs to do is find one policeman who listens.

Posts: 2656Marked Bills
I was in Honduras a week ago and discovered that some government offices and private merchants will not accept US currency with ink spots or other marks. This left me with several useless USD $20 bills, luckily, I had enough unmarked bills to make it through my trip. This had never been an issue before, so if you're planning to visit Hondo you may want to make sure that your bills are clean.

Posts: 230La Ceiba certainly has it's share of Morena's. It's a mixed bag here, from a wet piece of coal to light skinned canela. There certainly isn't a shortage of darker ones on the northern coast of Honduras.

Posts: 198Darker girls?
Ive read that the Honduran population has a black poulation of 2%. From those of you that have visited or live there,what is the liklihood of finding darker girls? Is there a particular region in which they can be located? Im well traveled and know that in the region "black" does not mean traditional African American or West African black but I have a preference for the truly brown dark nippled types. I appreciate anyones informed take on this.Thanks guys!

Posts: 230They are always finding ways to screw a gringo...but like my last post mentioned, they are ALL considered children until they are 21 years of age. Again, I doubt an 18 year old prostitute is going to be a problem. I'd certainly ask to see her cedula though. Lawyer friend of mine here (military) says it's 21 or nothing... Why risk it? Take a look at some of these jails; no guards on the inside - they're all outside.

Posts: 230actually, the age of consent (was told to me from someone reading some website which states age of consent for every country) is like 15 years old but then you'll hear that it's 14 and then 16. 18 doesn't mean diddly in honduras; according to law, anyone under the age of 21 are considered children and this is the problem when convicting gang members and those caught in other crimes.
i would imagine an 18 year old prostitute isn't going to be a problem but there are times when the polica stage a crackdown and round up all the girls without a cedula. this of course being because some are '****'.
thursday night was a good night... all sorts of girls out there because ceiba has a new law; every business must shut down by 1:00am monday-thursday, and 3:30am on the weekend. now these girls waiting for the biggest buck to walk up are not so selective because the night ends quickly.
i asked a few their ages and they were all 18 years old. imagine that. a couple friends took them to their hotel and certainly had a great time but being here fulltime....
ended up in a couple strip joints that night prior to my friends leaving, congo bongo and chica's. congo bongo is a place you want to go in with almost correct change; they never have it, and always try to screw you out of it. almost into a fight myself over this, calling this mariconito ladron outside.
chicas isn't exactly cheap either, girls drinks are 120 lps. one friend claims a blowjob in the dark area of the back but surely he paid for it. no way i'd ever pay 700 lps and that is the asking price in a strip joint.

Posts: 48Well actually I did not have the problem in ciebe airport, it was SPS where the problem was. So please explain the 21 year old rule. That sounds a little wierd. Like a catch 22. LOL. For real what is it all about?

actually the imposed-upon (hondurena) would need proof; like not just her best friend, sister, cousin, etc., but something along the line of a receipt for cable, services, and of course they would check visas via computer and substantiate her claim.
i ditched my girlfriend as we approached three years and then i find out she was not divorced; which of course, means the law does not apply to me. i was worried however, thinking i was at the very least, going to lose all my shit.
there is another law for girls under 21 (catch-22, eh?) like you robbed them of their childhood or something, and the day they turn 21 years of age, they can take you to court for some type of support/compensation. they only have one year to do this and honestly, it was a lawyer friend of mine who explained it to a friend as i listened. the golden rule is : 21 years of age.
now i'm not exactly sure what the us passport thing is....but the word is this is like gold. i prefer not to find out.
i am guessing you had this problem with airport security in la ceiba? i fly sosa to san pedro sula and boarding there is a snap. seems checked luggage is what they want to see and generally i try all carry-on since i have clothes on both ends and really don't need much. but good for you; if you can't have it, no one can!!
