Have any comments on chinese food - nicaraguan style

Here is some reference...

CHINESE RESTAURANTS OUTNUMBER McD'S...

Looking for a real dance school or a good dance instructor in Granada, Masaya, Laguna de Apoyo areas, to work on my Salsa and Merengue. Any suggestion?

We toyed with the idea of $100 a barrel oil here on NicaLiving a few months ago:

I talked about Peak Oil, the increased price of everything, how our lives will change with more expensive oil, the need for alternatives.

Once again, a NL member said that I hate it here in Nicaragua. This seems to be a common theme. Sometimes, but not always, it seems to be inspired by me complaining about something the U.S. government did or is doing. Other times it is just because I describe a problem I am having here.

We are going back for a week of rest and relaxation. It's our yearly trek back to the "Mutterland" Like the spawning Salmons in Alaska....may be that was a bad analogy specially after all the rants and raves on here lately.... as my wife says in her Miami/Cuban English...take it light.

Anyway, any San Juan del Sur suggestions for a couple of "Montelimar" types would be greatly appreciated.

Say it on the Internet, and you'll find that free speech and other constitutional rights are anything but guaranteed.

Bea and I have decided on Jinotega. Nothing special about Jinotega, it is that we just know a few more people there then in other places in the Nicaraguan highland. I know that I will still have to travel to Esteli' for a decent brie cheese and other parts of the country for other specialty items, but Jinotega will do for now.

Has anyone seen rope pumps in operation in Nicaragua? Here's a link to the site promoting its use, http://www.ropepump.com/. The site says this technology has reached about 25% of rural Nicaraguans.

Do any of you have any thoughts about the pros and cons of using this technology for small-scale irrigation?
