Curious to see what others' perceptions are, am I way off?

Kdog,
The story about Eric Volz is very interesting. However a similar story could easily occur in Bolivia, Brazil, Cuba, Venezuela, etc. A similar story could even occur in Colombia. There is anti-American sentiment throughout Latin America, and that sentiment is growing. Why? Because they envy us.
The Eric Volz story is no reason to stop traveling to Nicaragua any more than the Robert Vignola story is reason to stop traveling to Colombia.
Worrying about the dangers of travel to Nicaragua on a forum about travel to Colombia is like worrying about the dangers of not using dental floss on a forum about cancer.
The Democratic Party has had a far greater negative impact on my life than the people of Nicaragua ever will.
However, thanks for providing the interesting story about Nicaragua. And for providing the Chiclet girl story and the recommendation for the Holiday Inn Express.

OK Client OK. I surrender
Though I've traveled throughout Latin America for years now, and I am pretty familiar with the different culture and flavors of the various countries, I hate debates.
Anti-American sentiment is equal throught, except Cuba. I stand corrected. Enough for me. I'm back to my vice. Chicas
Good luck!

i haven't seen anti-american sentiment in latin america at the same level as reported in the eric voltz story. eric was also conviced of [CodeWord123] with absolutely no physical evidence and mountains of proof that he was 2 hours away when the crime was committed. imagine if you have a dispute with a girl (about money for example) and you did have sex with her. imagine how screwed you would be if she decided to report you as [CodeWord125] her. the eric voltz judge would have you in jail for months if not years.
enough ranting about the eric voltz case. a quick story about my last trip to medellin. i was looking at the san diego street girls and as usual, didn't see much. i went across the street to the casino and a saw cute 20 year old selling chicklets. i bought some from her and started a conversation. i asked her how much she made in a night...20 mil. i offered her 40 mil to come back to my hotel. after thinking for a while (which i loved because i knew she wasn't a pro then and there), she agreed. it was a good session. very different than with most pros. pros have their advantages and disadvantages. it was refreshing to be with someone who probably only had sex with a few guys in her life. also, i stayed an the holiday inn express very close to the mansion and it was awesome. best hotel i stayed at in colombia.

Just remember, soy de Canada o Inglaterra.
In better than 5 years of living in Colombia(Cartagena and Medellín) I have experienced very little anti-Americanism.

There are countries, places that are far more anti-american than others though.
I hate to break it to you, but comparing the Democrats in the US to mob hatred of a gringo you can run into in certain places is ridiculous.
I've seen it.
It's not going to stop me from traveling either, but it's always best to travel wisely.
Good luck!

I've found anti-american sentiment in my travels too, nothing like that case in Nicaragua though.
In Caracas, Venezuela I was refused a room at 2 hotels simply because I am from the US.
Luckily, in Colombia, most Americans, etc are generally accepted well.

I can't help but comment on the recommendation of Nicaragua. If you've ever heard to Eric Volz, then you probably already know there is a strong anti-American sentiment in Nicaragua. Anyone considering going to Nicaragua should read Eric's story. Here is one of many links: http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/22357315.
There is also an A&E network special around this case which shows street protests against gringos and how the judge knew Eric was innocent, but still refused to release him.Last edited by Admin; 08-13-08 at 20:05.
