London , General info:
10/10

London is a beautiful city. It's not exactly Las Vegas, but at night there is still a good amount of light. If you want to see the whole of London, but don't have enough time or you're too tired, just visit the London Eye. But if you're scared of heights, there's isn't any other way to see London (except for on a plane). If you look for reviews on London, most say that is a city they would gladly visit again. One yahoo contributor said: "I was lucky enough to live in London for a few months. I loved it and would return back there if the right opportunity came around. No place in the world has such a mixture of cultures, history and energy that London does. I love the cafes, the museums, the double-decker buses, the tube, the cathedrals, the pubs, and so much more. The only downside is the bad weather, but that's not a big enough negative for me to take off a star."

London is different for the expenses. There are of course, more expensive cities, but still. Also, it was the home of many well known monarchs.

Henry VIII

Queen Victoria

Queen Elizabeth I/II

etc.

Also,the taxi's/cabs there and buses are very different from other places. Some cabs and buses still look a little turn of the century. And London accepts and has accommodations for all cultures. There are international schools, schools for all different places. London is a very cool place.

London , Food:
10/10

The food is perfect. There's all sorts of food. There's Italian, French, Japanese, Chinese, Asian, Mexican, Spanish, Danish, German etc. There's healthy, there's fast food, there's vegan/vegetarian food, there's meat ....

and all sorts of drinks. And the best, or worst, it depends if you smoke, thing about London is that you are only aloud to smoke outside. So, in restaurants, you are not always covered in smoke.

London , Hotels:
10/10

The hotels are very high quality in London. There's bed and breakfast, there 2/3 stars to 5 stars there's all sorts of hotels. (But truly, the best places for Hotels are Dubai and Bahamas and some other places for the series of hotels: Atlantis.)

London , Safety:
10/10

As long as you stay in central London, in places that are crowded or with a lot of people, you will be safe. But pubs and poor empty places are very dangerous. And NEVER go to the park at night if it's empty. It is one of the most popular places for stabbings.

Managua , General info:
10/10

Nicaragua on the whole is on the mend from hurricanes, earthquakes, etc. People love Americans! However, you must not display your wealth unless you want to hire a guard.

Nicaragua takes its name from Nicarao, chief of the indigenous tribe that lived around present-day Lake Nicaragua during the late 1400s and early 1500s.

Some Nicaraguans know English, but it is a good idea to know some Spanish before you go. You can get by showing what you want with your hands.

Managua , Cheap stuff:
10/10

Getting by on a shoestring is possible, only if you live the Nicaraguan lifestyle--beans, rice, fruit, etc. and native handicrafts. Transportation can be quite reasonable, depending on what you want, taxis, buses, mini-bus or Bluebird school type buses (not recommended).

When you deal with people at the Mercados (marketplaces), generally the price will be a bit high for merchandise. Just say "No" which usually gives you a second price and if you want the item, that is the time to buy it. Another "No" will get you a better price, yes, but then, the merchant gets cheated and is not a good reflection on the Americano.

Managua , Different stuff:
10/10

Nicaraguans are famous for their hammocks and are splendid.

Zip lines are also available in the canopy in Nicaragua; however, this author does not know where they are located.

Managua , Don't miss:
10/10

Be sure to go see The Peace Monument in former downtown Managua in the earthquake zone. Another must see is Granada for its Spanish Colonial Architecture and, also, see Masaya for volcano and handicrafts, such as hammocks.

Managua , Food:
10/10

If you want American, Chinese, or Native Nicaragua meals, and go to a restaurant, expect to pay about the same as in the United States. Otherwise, street vendors have plenty of tropical fruit and bocadillas (chucks of charcoaled grilled meat).

Managua , Hotels:
10/10

There are new hotels available in Managua, as it is a rapidly growing city, so expect to spend about the same amount as in Untied States. The Hotel Intercontinental is the hotel Howard Hughes stayed in the early 70's.

Generally, do not expect hot water to take a shower!

Managua , Safety:
10/10

Generally, it is a good idea to keep valuables well hidden, perhaps in a plastic bag. Displaying wealth of any kind is not recommended, such as, cameras, jewelry, purses, etc. This is generally true in most Central American countries.
