      God bless you and God bless anyone reading this! Hope you have an awesome day! Seek him while you can! Jesus is the way and the only way and he is returning soon! Whenever you think you aren't loved... Remember the ultimate sacrifice was for love! ENDING YOUR LIFE IS NEVER THE ANSWER!
      For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
      John 3:16 KJV
      The wages of sin is death (hell) but Jesus paid our debt on the cross, for our salvation! We must turn to God and away from our sinful ways, Confess Jesus is Lord and believe with our hearts that he was risen from the dead by God, and we must be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son and The Holy Spirit and live by His word and Commandments! Trust that God will help with the rest!
      Seek God today before it's too late! Today could be your last day on earth!
      Have a blessed day!

    I'm Honduran and like to spend time there. Your video is on point.👍
    The reason Honduran people look so different is because they have several native tribes that are different racially. Mayans, Tolupanes, Misquitos, and Garifuna are native tribes but look different from one another. Some are brown, some are copper, some have that aboriginal color, etc. then you have waves of immigrants everything from Spanish, Irish, Jews, Palestinians, and Africans. Even black people differ themselves from one another. You have the Garifunas that were African slaves that escaped their captors before reaching their destination. Garifunas tend to be more African ethnic looking. The other group of blacks are "Negros Ingleses" which were freed slaves from England. These guys tend to be more like the bloodline of NFL players since they have great physical features and usually have their slave owners names like Smith, Thomas, Johnson, etc. They pride themselves on not being directly african since most today are biracial. Then. you have the Misquitos which are short and stout. Then you have "Caracoles"(slang term which means "seashell") which are those blacks from the Bay Islands that aren't garifuna nor are freed slaves; they tend to be biracial and usually speak English with a Caribbean accent. There were parts of Honduras where you have predominantly white people like in the department(state) of Santa barbara which was migrated by Irish in the mid-1800's. They was once also once an Indian migration when freed indentured slave workers from nearby countries that replaced African slaves after England abolished slavery and wealthy english sugar cane plantation owners were left scrambling for laborers.
    So there's everything in Honduras.

    Among Latinos, they know Honduras women are gorgeous, non Latinos are barely exploring that, hopefully stays that way, we don't need another Medellin, also the country is 90% mestizo, the islands were under British rule for a couple hundred years, the address is rather easy in San pedro sula, if you know the quadrants, when they say 9st 8th Ave NO, it means northwest, and then the house number ex: casa 1234 9 ave means the house is on 9th Ave 8th st, means the closer street is 8th, stay safe.

    regarding the addresses: the system is called "Plus Codes" or "Open Location Codes" (OLC). They are designed to be used with or without a network connection and are particularly useful in areas with inadequate or no street addressing systems. Plus Codes consist of a six-character or eight-character code, which includes a plus sign (+) in the middle. The six-character code represents an area of approximately 14 meters by 14 meters, while the eight-character code represents an area of approximately 2 meters by 3 meters. (but only used by google)

    My husband is from Honduras. Him, my one year old son (at the time), and I went to visit the country in 2018. His family lives in Tegucigalpa, so that is where we spent our time. Everyone was kind that I met. The city surprised me in that I expected there to be much more vegetation than there was. It was mostly dirt where trees or grass should be. When we traveled to the coast for a day I saw lots of vegetation and hills. I am not sure why the city did not have much. Since we stayed with family I never paid attention to how different the addresses were there.

      Es culpa de el alcalde, yo soy de Tegucigalpa, aquí vivo, en mi barrio por ejemplo, siempre hubo árboles cada 4 metros en las aceras por todas las avenidas y calles principales, y así eran muchos barrios de Tegucigalpa hasta que por 2015 se empezó a talar muchos de estos árboles porque "obstruyen el cableado público" lo cual fue una excusa para talar todos esos árboles que le daban una belleza como la d las calles europeas, y así es como esta ciudad poco a poco se va deteriorando en ese aspecto, además de que está en constante expansion, los cerros los "limpian" para la construcción de residenciales y colonias para millonarios e inversores, es una lastima 😔 me quedé con esa imagen de la infancia, y ahora cada vez que salgo es una jungla de asfalto, gris y calurosa, con polvo en el aire y sin sombra...

  • @mpleandre

    I am glad you enjoyed yourself here! A bit of context on everything you mentioned.
    1:07 Honduran people ARE very friendly. I also travel a lot and here in Central America, I'd say honduran people are second after guatemalans when it comes to being friendly. We make a lot of noise, we are happy, we are welcoming and, most importantly, we are noble. Sure, you'll find some idiots somewhere, but overall, people will be welcoming.
    2:15 Yes there is a lot of MESOAMERICAN culture in Honduras. Mexico and Central America share ancestors, so a lot of what you'll see in Mexico, you'll see it here. Also, we used to be a part of the Mexican Empire before becoming the Federal Repubic of Central America and eventually dividing into the five nations we now know.
    2:47 Yes. Bachata is the most listened genre. Then we can mention reggaeton and punta. Since we are very caribbean-like, the noisier the music is, the better the party will be. I don't like any of those genres (except fr punta), but I can understand why my fellow hondurans love them.
    4:02 Beaches and coral reefs are the international standard for honduran tourism, but the western side of the country, the mayan part, is also visited by many, mostly europeans.
    4:32 A way to make tourism more flexible is to allow USD into the accepted currencies, so yes, the more touristic the place is, the more USD will be accepted. Tegucigalpa does not accept USD.
    4:42 Bay islands used to be British, so english is the main language, but you'll also be able to speak english in the rest of the country. Garifuna is completely unknown in mainland Honduras. Main languages are spanish and english.
    5:48 Honduran women ARE gorgeous. In my adventuresi've noticed honduran women are underrated, as they not only have nice facial traits, but also interesting body types. They are also goofy, some are intelligent, and pretty much all of them will be a good companion. Can't say the same about us honduran men haha
    7:31 Yup. Nobody uses actual adresses here. We are used to simply mention reference points or street names, but never an actual building number. For instance, an adress here in the surrounding areas of Tegucigalpa would be: Km.8 1/2 (kilometer or mile in which the building is located), RN 25 (name of the road), "plaza blue moon" (building name)
    That's pretty much it. I've enjoyed this series and hope you come back for more. Try Copan Ruins, Talgua caves or Lancetilla Botanic garden (second largest in the planet). Also come to the capital, there's cool museums and you'll find that the city is different from what we are all used to see, as it used to be a mining town named Teguz Galpa (silver mountains), which makes the city very unique, with narrow streets and very steep terrains. Crime is high only in the slums, but you won't find much danger in downtown areas.

Nor El Salvador (My dads from there) even tho El Salvador’s biggest problem is Gang violence, but still no school shooting. I was born in L.A. and I’ve visited Honduras and El Salvador and one of the things I’ve noticed about people over there is that most them work hard everyday, including kids younger than me. There’s also less crazy people over there than there is here.

    I'm American livin in Roatan for 7 years. I've never even seen a fight in roatan. Maybe nobody yelling. Its possible to make a friend for life holding the door for someone. The people are amazing. The only thing thats alarming is the police/security with military grade guns everywhere but I always wonder why do they need the big guns when I havent seen any crime? Maybe them having the guns is the reason there isn't any crime? Who knows but I feel unbelievably safe. roatan 🇭🇳🇭🇳🇭🇳

    I can vouch for USD not being accepted anywhere else in Honduras, besides Roatan. I think the Hondurans understand the importance of being friendly especially when you’re in business. There are many places you can buy the same thing, so it helps to be friendly. Forget about addresses, most of the time it will be based on a specific business. For example if I live one block south of Pollolandia, it will be The Neighborhood name, and then where your house is in relation to Pollolandia. Tegucigalpa has street names.

    About the adress. Those numbers and letters at the begining of the adress aren't the Street name or number. It is the Google Maps Plus Code where It shows the exact location. Basically what it that means is that Google divided all planet Earth into millions of squares and gave each square a ubique code. Usefull if you're lost since that code will give you the exact location.

Friendly people and food is good. A typical Honduran breakfast is much better than one at a fast food establishment. Recommend not wearing your best watch, necklace, etc.. Leave that at home or in your hotel/motel room. No need to temp people to rob you.

      SPS has Uber. Tegucigalpa too.
      Concerning advice, idk. If you, for some weird reason, want to travel through city surroundings and slums, just make sure you don't wear nike shoes and shirts with an "18" or "13" on them.
      Try to appear lectured on food prices as people tend to sell stuff with higher prices to tourists. A Baleada, for example, shouldn't cost you more than 25 lps.
      If you visit Copán, PLEASE try Copan Dry, our national drink. Particularly the banana one.
      After that, just enjoy. There's nothing other-wordly about Honduras, as media often portrays it. SPS, for example, will feel just as any other city in a developed nation. Beautiful streets, sunny day, nice buildings, restaurants, luxury. Really nothing to worry about.

If they say a price then ask for a discount, they'll usually bring it down a little or to the normal price. Watch out for numbered taxis because they charge a lot too, consider using Uber as the app will give you a better price and it's much safer.

    My friends and i traveled there a few times back in the early 90s . You are right. Very underrated. We visited Tegucigalpal , sand perdro Sula, el Progresso etc. Punta is the general music there ,paranda,bachata,Caribean salsa ,comba,reggae ,merengue, etc . You are right about the addresses.Tegucigalpa interesting. Very steep decent and crazy climb for the planes so most people would not land at that airport but would go to sand perdro Sula and drive back to Tegucigalpa. We wanted to experience what most tourist would never experience so we had connected with local friends there . It was not so bad as it is now .but enjoyed every moment of it . Traveling to the mountains,the incas ruines ,etc .the clubs In Tegucigalpa awesome!curves galore.
