Thank you, Honduras. As you can see by this video, this country goes much further than its world famous image of darkness. Obviously these things are happening but what comes to the surface for me is the people's strength and hospitality. Stay strong, Honduras 🇭🇳
The saddest thing about Central and South American countries is how they have the ingredients and foundations to being safe and prosperous countries but there’s just too much corruption.
Yes this is True ....Honduras has all the Ingredients to be strong healthy country ....Fishing Pacific & Caribbean Sea - Agriculture - Timber - Mining - Tourism - Water - Rivers - Forest - Jungles - University's - Live Stock Farms - Natural Gas Deposits Ect.................................

I was born in Honduras...in Comayagua. I was quite lucky,(no offense) I've been adopted by my parents, grew up in Switzerland. I visited Honduras three times, the last time this year in march. Every time I really enjoyed it, eventhough if it's a completely other world. Honduran people are always ready to help you, they're very polite even If your spanish isnt perfect. I really loved the kitchen, the smiles and everything..but I feel very lucky, I had everything. Sometimes, I keep asking myself "why me? How come 32 years ago, a baby like me had the possibilities,many kids didn't had"? I guess, I'll never know, but I'll always be grateful to the woman who left me at the hospital, to give a great chance. Thank you for showing the real Honduras ❤
Why are so many murders happening if they're so nice? I wanna visit to see for myself. I've always wanted to visit honduras. I have 2 cousins adopted together from Honduras when one was 2 months old and the other 15 months. They're blood siblings.
As a Honduran I am surprised at how well many Hondurans speak English, people that you would never imagine they have the minimum of education. So much potential in such good, hardworking and honest people. Drug trafficking and corruption are a cancer in my poor country. I was born and lived there for 14 years. Then I lived 4 in Guatemala. Now I live in Europe, I miss my home a lot, but I can't imagine coming back to my country. It's really painful not being able to go home.
aparte de los idiotas y racistas que han respondido a tu comment, Honduras es literalmente un narco estado...mi familia y yo tuvimos la oportunidad de irnos del pais en los 90s, cuando las cosas se pusieron feas..
RIIIIIIGHT. My heart ❤️! It really makes me feel for these people... They're all subjected to the wrath of the corruption of politics and street violence relentlessly.. 😔😞
why do they have kids? Why bring children into that world? Isn't it strange that birth rates in the West are at an all time low despite the comforts they have.
@@randyborstol2491 I think the increasing birth rate is also because of the lack of knowledge to family planning that's why its also important for the government to reach those people who needs it the most.
@@dianneromero08 it's that type of thinking is the problem. 'Government person - I can't stop sticking my dick into my girl so i can bring more children into this hellhole' 'Have you tried a hobby like chess?'
I completely agree and hope for the best for him. I was happy to hear him describe his experience living in Texas and about how helpful and courteous the Texans were who he came across. Of course there are bigoted people in this and every other country, and the media loves to highlight them, but most of us like to see people happy and if we have a chance to help in a small way we do.
You listened to a 2 minute conversation. You have know idea who he is or what he has done. Why don’t you invite the stranger to come live in your home.🤦🏻♂️
Carlos is awesome. I hope many blessings come his way. The world needs more people like him. Next time you meet a foreigner in the U.S. think about this man.
This is my grandfather's country. He and his brother came to the United States in the 1940s. Back then it was dangerous (their father was murdered when they were children) but it was mostly just poor, not gang-run. My grandfather and his brother both ended up joining the military, serving in WW2, and sending money home to their mother and siblings. All the younger siblings got to go to school as a result. (My grandfather only was able to attend until 6th grade.) Now the family that still lives there (in Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula) lives in a compound behind a wall for obvious reasons. They have money now because of my grandfather and great-uncle sending all their younger siblings through school so many years ago.
You might want to thank the british outcasts and military for invading America and killing over 40 million Indians and Mexicans in order to make room for the world's immigrants and steal all the precious resources to enrich themselves beyond your wildest imagination. So keep breeding like flies and we will see what group of innocent souls is marked for extermination next, once we become so overcrowded and consume most resources and are force to spread out again. Maybe if they kill another 40 million we can make room for the rest of the world's outcasts and immigrants. Well at least we are the world's number one immigration dumping ground. Now that is great for the massive corporate entities. Because they are always looking for cheap labor. That is if drought, war, famine, plagues or savage storms don't take us out first. You people have no clue what lies ahead. You will learn real quickly that the grass is not always greener on the other side of the border. This country was built on genocide and slavery. Now that is a country to be proud of.
Thanks for visiting my country,a country full of tragedies devastated by nature, corrupt government , but good and hard working people are still standing ...God bless you and bless my beautiful and dear Honduras 🇭🇳 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Ariadna, as I mentioned in the video, the people of Honduras have been very kind towards me. i hope things get better for you all sooner rather than later. Nick
@Rafael Jackson it takes two to tango foreigners have tried to instal puppets everywhere but not everyone falls for it keep in mind its someone born in the country that sells it out to a foreign power.
@Rafael Jackson what a joke! Even the local water council is corrupt. Corruption is rampant in this country. It's their way of life. USA and Europe has nothing to do with this level of corruption.
Anyone else just fall in love with Carlos? He looks like a nice dude. I hope he finds a job. 'Heavy Metal at its roots is a constant demand on authorities to do what's right' As a metal head, I cried.
Juan, the english teacher/metal band singer earned you my subscription, it was a very enlightening interview and great person. Really hope Honduras will be able to recover from this mess. Respect
Loved the Texas guy and brings humanity into reality when he said he just wants to work earn money and come back to his hometown...You meet some awesome people Nick..
Carlos is the real person And he play vital role in this video I love positive people Because of they are valuable people... Carlos I hope you good job as soon as possible.. From Mogadishu Somalia 🇸🇴👈
I appreciate the way you regularly portray the issues in these countries as a result of the corruption at high levels that are beyond what the regular person has control over. People all over the world are just trying to live life and when you talk with them you realize we are all the same and just existing under very different circumstances.
No were not the same, you have the super rich ruling class and then you have the upper class, middle class and peasant slave class. There are those in control who live by their own rules and then you have the one's who are rich enough to buy their way out of trouble and freedom. Then you have the one's born into money and then you have the low IQ people, then you have the talented people, the beautiful and the very smart. So we are nowhere near the same. But there are a lot of peasant class working people just trying to survive and meet their living needs. But greed always wins out in this sick world where the rich never have enough money or power to satisfy their addiction. We are divided by class, race, religion, neighborhoods, countries, political affiliations, parties and beliefs, self interests, gender and ethnicity. So keep pretending we are all in the same boat. People are sick, evil, demented. selfish, greedy, warmongers, with large egos and only strive to get what they want and will settle for no less then getting their own way like a bunch of spoiled brats. Money controls all the dumbed down sheeple of the world period. So you might want to open you eyes and take note or continue to believe whatever your wishful mind wants to believe. War is the biggest business this world thrives on in case you haven't noticed. World War III is knocking on the door but the dumb down sheep were none the wiser.
not really true though is it? Lots of people are using drugs, selling drugs, doing crime. If all these people were wonderful - the world would not be such a shithole.
@@randyborstol2491 They could still be decent people - But when everything has failed (i.e. the corrupt system around you, economy tanking, etc), people turn to other means to make money or to simply forget about the daily struggles in life. Not the same extend in Honduras, but you can see the same thing happening in America due to late stage Capitalism. There's quite a numbers of great studies done on the subject.
@@coryfoster4907 life is a cruel struggle. We are animals in our core. You fight for survival and get through. Western civilization has given people a false sense of entitlement which is not natural. No one deserves anything, no one owes you anything. These people are not fit for survival and are bumming of civilization.
"I hope to see you again in Heaven.." I've never heard anybody say that, after meeting somebody. Taking it, using it, appreciating the love from Carlos.
Mr. Lainez! One of my favorite teachers in High school. Growing up I lived in both areas of Tegucigalpa and you dont really notice it when you are a kid, but when you get older you start to feel the tension on the streets, murders in every front page of the newspapers, its scary, but somehow you kind of just get used to it but you learn what areas to avoid, and to always be alert. It is hard and the people of this country definitely don't deserve it.
So cool that Mr. Lainez was your teacher, he is great man. Very articulate and objective. Thank you for sharing your experience growing up here, that is really valuable for me to read. Hope all is well with you nowadays. Thanks again! Nick
As a person from Tegucigalpa i relate to thi so much, its hard even going outside. If you have yo use public transportation you fear you'll get robbed or harrased and its the same if you have your own vehicle.... Now imagine being a woman here.
as a foreigner, you have to be 'street wise', ms13/18 don't hurt you, as long you are respectfully, not looking for problems, as a local: you're fuc'ked. It is different.. I know. SAD
One time I walked up a mountain alone one time, and later I found out someone was murdered in that way a few days later. The scene with the masonic flag on a hill is by where I was robbed once when I was there for the last time in probably forever. I was alone in a place with bridges, and I saw a guy a stone's throw away just leaning on a barrier. I asked him for directions, but as soon as he saw my pants ,he looked at the bulge. I thought he may have been gay in the non-happy way, but he was just looking for something to steal. I was too careless in part because at the time I was the scariest-looking thing around, having a big black beard of several months where I would be asked by Hondurans where I was from. I told them Honduras, but they said "You look like you're from Iraq." Anyway, the thick man got close to me with a concerned expression, and then just slid his hand down, and I was like, in my mind "Is this sexual harassment? Is this actually happening?" But he took out my cell phone. I reached to get it back but he blocked me while looking at it. I was thinking he probably had a gun or a knife, but I hated the injustice, so I stood there thinking of what to do. I then told him that it was a cheap phone anyway, and he smiled, and I walked away without looking back. Silly me. Later I told my aunt: "Now I'm a real Honduran 'cause I got robbed."
Carlos is the representation of what the hondureño is, despite adversity he put his fate in god hands, waiting for better days come to his life. what a legend!! greetings from Comayagua,Honduras
I’ve never even thought about what life would be like in Honduras but this video gave me a glimpse of what it would be like living there. It seems very dangerous but at the same time, there seem to be a lot of kind hearted and hardworking people also. My heart gives out to the guy in the Texas Tech shirt, he seems like a passionate guy just trying to be happy. Thank you for this educational video.
Hey! I'm a Honduran living in Tegucigalpa and I just loved your video, especially the way you show the beautiful but also the "needs to improve" sides of our country and how Honduras has potential to be better. Thank you for visiting and I hope more people can come and see that Honduras' reputation isn't always what people think.
Pues depende en que lugares te metas, como en cualquier otra parte del mundo, pero te puedo asegurar que puedes visitar Honduras sin ningún problema y visitar hermosos lugares y disfrutar de lo que este país tiene por ofrecer sin tener que preocuparse por la inseguridad
I visited Tegucigalpa as a gringo woman five years ago and the scariest thing I found was the terrifying landing at the airport XD You literally have to skim the top of a mountain to come in for the landing.
Thank You Nick for trying to capture an unbiased look at our country. Keep up the good work! And thank you for granting exposure to one of our clips. Means a lot to us. Its very hard for a Central American metal band to be listened around the globe. Thanks everyone who had commented and liked our band! Best of luck to all of you metal brothers!
I am so sorry that American government gets involved in your country's culture. I'm American and I want to migrate to Canada. America has no healthcare, etc. I am also ashamed that my country America put up that stupid, offensive wall. Its inexcusable where America is going and especially what it has done and doing to innocent people seeking asylum. I'd much rather migrate to a rational thinking country like Canada.
As a Texan it made me happy to hear the man had a positive experience in Texas. I wish very much that he could find a way to come work here if that's what he wants to do.
Don't you think the people need to reclaim thier country? Why is fleeing to the USA the only way? I mean I get it. But at some point the people need to stand up and take control of their government for the good. Here in the US, we are at a point too where we need to get the radicals ruining our country out.
@@mindymeek2 Honduras is a shithole because of the USA. The richest drug addicts are in the US and Canada, and so the US' evil society is what funds the gangs that become more powerful than the Hispanic governments there. Getting rid of US influence is how to save Honduras.
@@mindymeek2 Because it is not our government; it actually has a lot to do with the US since the 70's. MOst of our problems derive from the US, so why not repay us with giving our people a better life in the country that ruined ours?
I lived in Honduras in the late 80s and it wasn’t violent. It was the safest country in the region. However, the corruption that was always present brought in the violence because the narcotraffickers could easily bribe govt and military officials until they were able to take over. The corruption and willingness to sell out has always been the country’s Achilles heel
Yeah my dads from there and lots of my family still lives there it changes in safety depending on the time I hope I can visit my family there soon though! It’s a viticulture place
This is such a great example of how real transparency and objectivity in journalism can still convey a message, without shoving it down someone's throat with bias slants. So well done, my eyes opened a lot today.
I'm from Honduras and I love how people are very curious to know where are you from so they could practice their english with you! We don't have a lot of tourists over here so when we do, we take advantage of the situation to practice what we've learned!
Not many tourists? Well, when I travel, there's lots of foreigners at the airport :/ Maybe there's not many tourists that go to Tegus' downtown, but to Honduras? There's quite a lot (mostly asians).
But I've met dozens of Hondurans on construction sites and they always seem offended that I'm brown and only speak English. Many treat me differently because of "not" knowing spanish here in America. So I see and hear lots of hate for my country coming from Mexico and below. Please assimilate, and don't segregate we already have enough hate.
This is so interesting coming from a different point of view. I have been to Honduras 5 times and have spent more than 2 weeks there each time. I have been to Tegucigalpa and other parts around the city and never once have I felt endangered. I am fluent in spanish and have traveled all over with locals. Yes, I took precautions and was very aware of my surroundings all the time. However, I have met lifelong friends in Honduras and Honduras is filled with so many loving and caring people. I hope this country will become safer in the future!!💙🇭🇳
I lived in honduras outside of San Pedro sula for awhile and am not hispanic but spoke Spanish. I never felt threatened and everyone was always kind to me. The people we would see killed were all from gang related activity but the people in the gangs were always nice to us it is just their way of life and protection.
My husband and I went to honduras 2 years ago, nothing happened to us, one of our best trips. like Any other country, there are dangerous neighborhoods that you should not visit, but I think Honduras has so many safe places to visit like pullhapanzak waterfalls, roatan, Valle de angeles, ruinas de copan, etc.
Here in the states you got some people whining and complaining about their frappe taking to long to be made at Starbucks. They don't know what bad really is 🤦
Americans are naive about their own country. Baltimore, Detroit, Memphis, Camden are horror stories. US is the only country I was mugged in . I am from India. Have been to 11 countries - 10 of them - developed. But never in any country did I feel as unsafe as I felt in US. South Chicago was a nightmare i can’t forget

So much going on at TH-cam, but once in a while you stumble on a really interesting channel, and this is one of my favorites. Always intelligent and thought-provoking.
That's exactly why they dont show Americans what these places are really like so they can have a false ans naive understanding of the safety and standard of living they enjoy and take for granted
You do realize this has an agenda? A 30 minute video doesn't speak for the entirety of a country. I lived and worked in a small town outside of La Esperanza, Honduras. I felt safe, there was no illegal activity, and the people were warm and caring. You want Stockton, Detroit, Cleveland and Baltimore to represent America? Showing America's worst areas doesn't represent the whole of America.
According to my dad who he grew up in Tegucigalpa back in the 80s 90s he often talked about how great, simple and quiet that city used to be, filled with amazing people just like CARLOS HERE THE TEXAS GUY (what a legend) very educated individuals hard working and welcoming! Too bad i never got to experience that and sad to see my people suffering so much!
I don't understand how the youth has become so corrupted, instead of getting better, it became worse somehow, things used to be better in Central America, yeah we used to be even poorer but at least the people were honest and did no harm to each other, now it's full of gangs, violence and drugs and it's all the same from Guatemala all the way to Panama, is just that some of our countries are doing worse than others but overall we're all doing bad, things don't make sense anymore.
Being a kenyan,I have every reason to be grateful.Its Just awesome to see the other part of the world that I have never been to.Sending my love to the people of Honduras
@@mindymeek2 We have our challenges too but not to this extend.The pandemic has brought alot of.frusstrations-Closure of businesses and so more.We are grateful though we haven't lost many people because of corona.
Carlos is right, it's interesting how most the central American populations continue to rise, compared to south east European countries are steady decreasing, as well as Japan decreasing substantially
It's not really true for most of them, but Honduras and my dad's country Guatemala are the main exceptions. It's going down little by little but there are definitely poor people who have too many kids
Because of his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Problems of today wont matter when we face eternity in heaven or hell on judgment day. If you have not been born again, repent of your sins and be saved. Think about your eternity, my guy.
Man! I’m a Muslim but that Carlos guy loves Jesus so much and have a lot of hope even tho he’s jobless and have nothing, nice guy i wish he finds a good job. I love positive people 🤝🙌
What does you being a muslim have to do with anything? Christianity came long before Islam, and is the main religion in this region. You make it sound as if because you are muslim you usually would not appreciate someone who is a Christian, but that in this case you are making an exception. And, of course you are muslim. You were born into a muslim family who lived/originated in a country where there were mostly muslims. Had you been born into a Honduran family the likelihood of you being a muslim now would have been close to zero. So, what is your point?
@dalchaval94 his wording definitely leaves room for different interpretations of his message. Since you sound like the type of muslim I would want more of in this world I am not going to argue against your point made.
Being half Honduran I always dreamt of visiting my Fathers native country to explore the culture and what it has to offer but unfortunately I’ve been too scared because of the never ending violence that plagues this beautiful country hopefully one day this changes
Hey you’re me lol. Half Honduran on my fathers side. I want to go too, I’m hoping to connect with my family there, I’ll be visiting the bay islands for a wedding soon. Honestly there are places of the US I would never go too, and some places are worse than others.
@@rileyi.1692 i m born and raised in honduras but been living here in the us since 2016 even tho there are some places you don’t wanna go to Im telling y’all there are places your gonna love dont get me wrong our country is full of insecurity but is there’s also places where you gonna feel safe that are full of lovely people if y’all ever get the chance to go visit Honduras do it y’all ain’t gonna regret it 🇭🇳❤
my dad is Honduran. He has always told us that it's too dangerous there and I have that fear too of the violence there. He still wants to take my family there, hopefully we are able to go someday.
I just visited Honduras last year after 25 yrs . And the experience was amazing . The first few days I was culture shocked , a lot of people riding motorcycles , walking , or simply just watching the block . People are very generous & humble but you also have to watch out for crime . Rule of thumb is don’t wondered off on your own , nor travel to dangerous places . Overall , there’s so many places to visit and money goes a long way so you will have a blast . I encouraged you to visit one day , you won’t regret it .
I know you are not a traditional journalist, but your videos are phenomenal at providing optics on places and situations without compromise. Wonderful stuff
The people of Honduras are wonderful and welcoming people. I have many friends from the time I spent there. There is much more beauty in this country than this video allows us to see. The last guy was great in speaking about how the government and military corruption is ruining this country.
I’ve been there twice & I totally agree with you. Apart from what people told me while up north about how dangerous it was I didn’t let it break my spirit from traveling to Honduras but I was met with the opposite of everything I heard and saw in the media. The locals are such great people , pretty laid back and fun to get along with. Made friends whom I’m proud to call my Hermaños for life.Looking forward to going back someday. Viva Honduras 🇭🇳
Some of the people you met seemed so friendly and open to speak, especially how upfront and honest they are regarding the danger of the country. No sugar coating what's going on. Just honesty and welcoming vibes from them, especially the two English speaking guys.
Incredible footage, great background music, film editing, and drone shots. Thank you for giving us some insights about Honduras. Saludos de Alemania y lo mejor para toda la gente alla en Honduras.
Hi, I'm a Taiwanese and have just been to Honduras in the recent two months. It was a wonderful and beautiful trip for me. I've never come across anyone with guns except military and guards. People there are friendly and polite, not too many are going on and they are just living like any other people in the world. Just don't be at the wrong place at the wrong time. But that applies to anywhere, even in Taiwan.
I am from Honduras and I have been living in Taipei for the last 2 years, such a beautiful country ! I’m glad you liked my country and I agree with everything you said. Greetings !
I have a friend from Honduras 🇭🇳 who lives in Spain 🇪🇸 where I live with her Spanish hombre, you are good people, have you met Spanish people in Honduras 🇭🇳 before?
Bro, going as a tourist not the same as living there.... I've relatives living there and trust me, not good place to be, is not about not being at the wrong place at the wrong time, bad things going on there.
Here you have the typical Asian tourist in his natural habitat: The Internet. He has a completely whitewashed view of the world as a whole, thinks it's a beautiful place where bad things rarely happen and where most people are basically good.
I spent some time traveling alone in Tegucigalpa in 2010. No problemo. I think people just like danger porn and want to believe these places are anything different.
It’s so sad to see such a beautiful country with so many beautiful, kind souls that feels such pain from corruption and the acts of a few. To our friends in Honduras, please know your American friends pray for you and hope you find peace in your beautiful, kind country.
@@CNYKnifeNerd there is no need for your nastiness. And the US does give a lot of aid to other countries. Countries that need it. But unfortunately corruption keeps a lot of the people from actually getting the help they need.
@@gowdsake7103 I hope you have a wonderful day. You are also in my thoughts and prayers. It seems like someone has really upset or hurt you and I’m sorry that happened to you.
I’ve been to Honduras and it was very intense. We had 2 translators with us and 2 security guards with us at all time. We weren’t allowed to have our phones with us, we couldn’t have any jewelry and we couldn’t have our hair done or makeup on because you then become a target in their eyes to get robbed. It’s the first time I saw a dead body. It’s definitely a trip I would never ever forget.
Im from Honduras, and its honestly devastating to see my country infected by crime and corruption. The country has the resources and a good geographical position to be a prosperous country, but sadly corruption, crime, and things like that prevent Honduras from progressing. I Hope to see a prosperous and happy Honduras in the future. Dios bendiga mi Honduritas.
I learned long ago that if anything is happening, good or bad, it is because the state wants it that way. If it didn't, something would be done. Governments create problems, they never solve them. All over the world some politicians always gain power because of poverty and crime. The more poverty, the more power. So it'll never change then, only get worse. Instead of helping people, you do as the US politicians are doing: constantly talk about the problems but meticulously making them worse and worse instead of solving them. No way to run a society, but that's our beloved governments. Can't control people if they're free, educated and well off. Easy to control them when they're poor, hungry and desperate. So let's make them poor, hungry and desperate! Best plan ever here...What could possibly go wrong?
I didn’t notice before how beautiful Honduras’ flag is. Its colors and design would make you think of a peaceful place. It’s a shame that conflicts between other countries still have an effect in this nation.
Exactly our flag is beautiful and it reflects on the beautiful places, our food, our people. we are proud of our country, but we can’t deny the amount of problems, economic and social situations that doesn’t allow this economy from growing up. I can tell most of hondurans give our best for this country, but the narco government led us to be one the poorest countries in the world
I mean I’m from Honduras.. and obviously if you go to the dangerous neighborhoods you OBVIOUSLY will get assaulted and yeah the government SUCKS! Because my beautiful country has a lot of potential! 💖💖 que dios bendiga la bella tierra en la que nací!💖
you country is beautiful, your people are hard working, humble, loving and a pleasure to know! I have the privilege of having Honduran's as apart of my family through marriage, and 3 beautiful grandchildren in our family. Not to mention the food, which is Heavenly!!! Love from Texas!!
My heart breaks for my homeland. It’s been spiraling out of control for decades. Brain drain compounds the problem, leaving very little opportunity behind. We are a hardworking and resourceful bunch. Given the opportunity we flourish.
@@codylarkhart261 I agree, bro. But when the President’s own brother gets indicted for drug trafficking? How do you battle that level of corruption? It’s overwhelming.
My dad is Honduran, his mom (my grandma) and her sisters left Tegucigalpa because it was so dangerous. You can’t even really get any tattoos that symbolize Honduras because a lot of them are demonic or gang affiliated. I ended up getting the name Tegucigalpa tattooed on me since it’s the only thing I could tattoo that’s not directly bad. My grandma says it’s really bad out there and they had to flee to have a better life. I have family out there I’ll probably never get to meet.
@@YOTTR it depends, i was in mexico and felt at times where it was unsafe, and there are your usual scammers. however mexico is a much bigger country and overall the quality of life is better than what's been shown in the video. i'll be honest though if you go with friends, it's more viable than going with family or by yourself.
@@YOTTR Like that guy said, Mexico's quite big and there's also a ton of variance in quality of life and safety, but in general, life in Mexico is much better than in Honduras, overall.
@@YOTTR both suck. The only great country in the region is Costa Rica, which is at a completely different level in culture, development, and mentality. None of that guerrilla garbage. Way different; its like a bubble separate from all the surrounding crap.
In 2006, I landed in Tegucigalpa airport... that was dangerous enough. Then my mission team met up with me at the baggage claim. They said they already had my bags loaded in the bus. I was instructed not to look in anyone's eyes or speak to anyone. Keep my bilfold in my front pocket, and walk rapidly with my group to the bus. It took us 25 minutes to get to the heavily guarded mission house. Our bus driver had to be the best driver alive. Ive been driving busses for 26 years, and he amazed me. He taught me how to drive up a muddy mountain... across a rickety wooden bridge... and finaly to Guinope to visit the orphanage. The only place that I felt unsafe was near the airport. Once you get to the smaller towns, the people are really kind.
This series is one the best on this channel for sure. Luckily I had the chance to have a glimpse of Honduras back in 2017 but I only stayed in Copán and just went through San Pedro and Tegus quickly. Hope I can visit this country again in the near future. Un abrazo desde Argentina para los hermanos hondureños!
I lived in las vegas since i was 4 years now (Born in honduras). Ive been living in honduras for the last couple months on vacation and what a beautiful country it is. Amo mi pais!
Damn I hope Carlos stays out of trouble and can make use of his skills, the beautiful thing about countries like this is they have more people who are loyal to their moral code, and that’s something us bigger countries continue to lose. Loved it
Amazing video Nick! I absolutely loved listening to Carlos, the blind man, Tito and the English teacher/musician and what they had to say. Beautiful people. The courage you have is unmatched! We are proud and appreciative of what you do but stay safe!!! We will always need you 💖
Just chilling with the guy from Delirium In a nice gated community. He seems super chilled and using music to speak up and fight for change is great to see, risking his freedom or even life to try and better his country! Hats off to him 👌

Thanks for visiting our Country!!! Carlos represents very well us, I'm from Tegucigalpa Honduras, Located in New Jersey US. We're very welcoming people, we have good energy, we work hard, but sadly there's a lot of corruption in our Beautiful country, It's dangerous because there's not opportunities at all, We have such beautiful beaches also delicious food, an there's safe places! God Bless Honduras!!! Better times are coming 🙏🏾
My son fell for a young woman from your country.I pray she can stay in the states.She’s the sweetest gift from God. I know we have laws( all I’ll say on that) she’s learning English,and we’re learning Spanish.It’s hard.Hope she can stay.Blessings ✝️🌍
@@IndigoTraveller I wish you have the contact details for some of these beautiful people like Carlos. Some of your subscribers may want to send something small to these struggling folks! You will be amazed how much USD 5 would mean to these people!
I just got back from Honduras. Please don’t let this video prevent you from visiting. Every place has its bad parts. There’s places in the US that are just as dangerous. The Honduran people are truly amazing and I’m so grateful to have visited such an amazing place!
ah, don't worry, most people know whats up. He wasn't even in danger at any moment in this video. USA definitely has WAY more dangerous places than anything he showed here... _Canada_ has more dangerous places than anything in this video, I'm sure Honduras has some janky areas, but what I saw in this video is no different than the Skid Rows of North American cities.
And on the same token, you could have just went to a nice place and avoided all the rest of the country that is bad... sure every country has good and bad places but is it worth it to go to a country and risk it? In the US the bad parts of major cities are clearly obvious, everyone will tell you beforehand. Just don't go to those places. In a country like Honduras, could you truly go anywhere without a local guide? And feel safe the entire time? Any part of the USA or Canada is safe to travel without a guide except for like the ghettos of Toronto or Montreal and I mean you'd only run into those if you were walking randomly for miles or you sought them out. Sorry but Honduras is worse than USA and Canada on average, much worse. You can't take your own experience that turned out positive and say that that's the whole country. Did you have a guide, or at least a person with you like a friend who knew the country? I would be surprised if you were in the country, not on a resort, without a guide with you.
@@onelonelypickle exactly. Only a fool would believe the US and Canada are more dangerous than Honduras. You need a freaking guide to travel around, and even then, it's EXTREMELY dangerous. Anything and everything can happen in that country.
I am from Honduras, not everything is as seen in the video, there are very beautiful places that should be highlighted more, I would love to see those beautiful things that my country has, things that I am very proud of, not only highlight that sad side that any country in the world can have
The metal band guy gave me goosebumps! Carlos made my heart ache.. Such beautiful people in a country just as beautiful, making the best of a country whose being awfully managed by their government..
My girlfriend is from Honduras came to the states in 2016. She said she misses it but she had to leave it was too dangerous and there weren't opportunities for her at the time. She said in the states she makes more money than she ever did back home. Hopefully the situation changes there I want to go with her back to her home country. It's a beautiful land with amazing culture and food. I've been to a few Honduran birthday parties with her, they've always been very welcoming to me as an outsider.
Tive a oportunidade de morar um ano em Tegucigalpa em 1993, trabalhando em um projeto de consultoria organizacional na empresa de energia elétrica (ENEE). Naquela época os problemas de insegurança eram mínimos. Infelizmente hoje é um dos países mais perigosos do mundo. O povo hondurenho é hospitaleiro, alegre e trabalhador. Honduras é um país agraciado pela natureza com muitos encantos naturais. Que Deus proteja as pessoas de bem deste País, pois não merecem o que estão vivenciando com a escalada de violência e pobreza, já há um bom tempo. VIVA HONDURAS!
Fico surpreendido com o seu comentário, que bom que sua experiência em TGU foi boa. Eu sou de lá, moro em SP atualmente. Voltarei porque sinto afeição mas sou consciente que Téguz é uma cidade de sensações ásperas, ainda mais para os que crescimos nos bairros pobres. PS. Obrigado, seja bem-vindo 🇭🇳. Viva o Brasil!

Yeah, on point. Im writing from Tegucigalpa right now, im middle class and cant agree more with you but I feel a little safer than you might think. You got a glimpse of the roughest parts, like any country you visit. Were working our way around life with harsher conditions without doubt but we got very cool places and cool people.
I used to work at a very fancy hotel in my early twenties and my best friends there were the Honduran housekeepers. Carlos just reminded me of them. Such lovely people! I lost contact with them but they will always have a special place in my heart.
Thank you, Honduras. As you can see by this video, this country goes much further than its world famous image of darkness. Obviously these things are happening but what comes to the surface for me is the people's strength and hospitality. Stay strong, Honduras 🇭🇳

I was born in Honduras...in Comayagua. I was quite lucky,(no offense) I've been adopted by my parents, grew up in Switzerland. I visited Honduras three times, the last time this year in march. Every time I really enjoyed it, eventhough if it's a completely other world. Honduran people are always ready to help you, they're very polite even If your spanish isnt perfect. I really loved the kitchen, the smiles and everything..but I feel very lucky, I had everything. Sometimes, I keep asking myself "why me? How come 32 years ago, a baby like me had the possibilities,many kids didn't had"? I guess, I'll never know, but I'll always be grateful to the woman who left me at the hospital, to give a great chance. Thank you for showing the real Honduras ❤

As a Honduran I am surprised at how well many Hondurans speak English, people that you would never imagine they have the minimum of education. So much potential in such good, hardworking and honest people. Drug trafficking and corruption are a cancer in my poor country. I was born and lived there for 14 years. Then I lived 4 in Guatemala. Now I live in Europe, I miss my home a lot, but I can't imagine coming back to my country. It's really painful not being able to go home.

This is my grandfather's country. He and his brother came to the United States in the 1940s. Back then it was dangerous (their father was murdered when they were children) but it was mostly just poor, not gang-run. My grandfather and his brother both ended up joining the military, serving in WW2, and sending money home to their mother and siblings. All the younger siblings got to go to school as a result. (My grandfather only was able to attend until 6th grade.) Now the family that still lives there (in Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula) lives in a compound behind a wall for obvious reasons. They have money now because of my grandfather and great-uncle sending all their younger siblings through school so many years ago.
That's where my dad used to live.
You might want to thank the british outcasts and military for invading America and killing over 40 million Indians and Mexicans in order to make room for the world's immigrants and steal all the precious resources to enrich themselves beyond your wildest imagination. So keep breeding like flies and we will see what group of innocent souls is marked for extermination next, once we become so overcrowded and consume most resources and are force to spread out again. Maybe if they kill another 40 million we can make room for the rest of the world's outcasts and immigrants. Well at least we are the world's number one immigration dumping ground. Now that is great for the massive corporate entities. Because they are always looking for cheap labor. That is if drought, war, famine, plagues or savage storms don't take us out first. You people have no clue what lies ahead. You will learn real quickly that the grass is not always greener on the other side of the border. This country was built on genocide and slavery. Now that is a country to be proud of.
I have the same story just my dad was born in Colombia in the early 60’s
I thank your grandfather and uncle for their service and sacrifice.

I appreciate the way you regularly portray the issues in these countries as a result of the corruption at high levels that are beyond what the regular person has control over. People all over the world are just trying to live life and when you talk with them you realize we are all the same and just existing under very different circumstances.
No were not the same, you have the super rich ruling class and then you have the upper class, middle class and peasant slave class. There are those in control who live by their own rules and then you have the one's who are rich enough to buy their way out of trouble and freedom. Then you have the one's born into money and then you have the low IQ people, then you have the talented people, the beautiful and the very smart. So we are nowhere near the same. But there are a lot of peasant class working people just trying to survive and meet their living needs. But greed always wins out in this sick world where the rich never have enough money or power to satisfy their addiction. We are divided by class, race, religion, neighborhoods, countries, political affiliations, parties and beliefs, self interests, gender and ethnicity. So keep pretending we are all in the same boat. People are sick, evil, demented. selfish, greedy, warmongers, with large egos and only strive to get what they want and will settle for no less then getting their own way like a bunch of spoiled brats. Money controls all the dumbed down sheeple of the world period. So you might want to open you eyes and take note or continue to believe whatever your wishful mind wants to believe. War is the biggest business this world thrives on in case you haven't noticed. World War III is knocking on the door but the dumb down sheep were none the wiser.
not really true though is it? Lots of people are using drugs, selling drugs, doing crime. If all these people were wonderful - the world would not be such a shithole.
@@randyborstol2491 They could still be decent people - But when everything has failed (i.e. the corrupt system around you, economy tanking, etc), people turn to other means to make money or to simply forget about the daily struggles in life. Not the same extend in Honduras, but you can see the same thing happening in America due to late stage Capitalism. There's quite a numbers of great studies done on the subject.
@@coryfoster4907 life is a cruel struggle. We are animals in our core. You fight for survival and get through. Western civilization has given people a false sense of entitlement which is not natural. No one deserves anything, no one owes you anything. These people are not fit for survival and are bumming of civilization.

Mr. Lainez! One of my favorite teachers in High school.
Growing up I lived in both areas of Tegucigalpa and you dont really notice it when you are a kid, but when you get older you start to feel the tension on the streets, murders in every front page of the newspapers, its scary, but somehow you kind of just get used to it but you learn what areas to avoid, and to always be alert. It is hard and the people of this country definitely don't deserve it.
So cool that Mr. Lainez was your teacher, he is great man. Very articulate and objective. Thank you for sharing your experience growing up here, that is really valuable for me to read. Hope all is well with you nowadays. Thanks again! Nick
As a person from Tegucigalpa i relate to thi so much, its hard even going outside. If you have yo use public transportation you fear you'll get robbed or harrased and its the same if you have your own vehicle.... Now imagine being a woman here.
as a foreigner, you have to be 'street wise', ms13/18 don't hurt you, as long you are respectfully, not looking for problems, as a local: you're fuc'ked. It is different.. I know. SAD
Mr Percy Leonardo Lainez?
One time I walked up a mountain alone one time, and later I found out someone was murdered in that way a few days later. The scene with the masonic flag on a hill is by where I was robbed once when I was there for the last time in probably forever. I was alone in a place with bridges, and I saw a guy a stone's throw away just leaning on a barrier. I asked him for directions, but as soon as he saw my pants ,he looked at the bulge. I thought he may have been gay in the non-happy way, but he was just looking for something to steal. I was too careless in part because at the time I was the scariest-looking thing around, having a big black beard of several months where I would be asked by Hondurans where I was from. I told them Honduras, but they said "You look like you're from Iraq." Anyway, the thick man got close to me with a concerned expression, and then just slid his hand down, and I was like, in my mind "Is this sexual harassment? Is this actually happening?" But he took out my cell phone. I reached to get it back but he blocked me while looking at it. I was thinking he probably had a gun or a knife, but I hated the injustice, so I stood there thinking of what to do. I then told him that it was a cheap phone anyway, and he smiled, and I walked away without looking back. Silly me. Later I told my aunt: "Now I'm a real Honduran 'cause I got robbed."
Carlos is the representation of what the hondureño is, despite adversity he put his fate in god hands, waiting for better days come to his life.

Not many tourists? Well, when I travel, there's lots of foreigners at the airport :/
Maybe there's not many tourists that go to Tegus' downtown, but to Honduras? There's quite a lot (mostly asians).
But I've met dozens of Hondurans on construction sites and they always seem offended that I'm brown and only speak English. Many treat me differently because of "not" knowing spanish here in America. So I see and hear lots of hate for my country coming from Mexico and below. Please assimilate, and don't segregate we already have enough hate.
This is so interesting coming from a different point of view.
I have been to Honduras 5 times and have spent more than 2 weeks there each time. I have been to Tegucigalpa and other parts around the city and never once have I felt endangered. I am fluent in spanish and have traveled all over with locals. Yes, I took precautions and was very aware of my surroundings all the time. However, I have met lifelong friends in Honduras and Honduras is filled with so many loving and caring people. I hope this country will become safer in the future!!💙🇭🇳

So much going on at TH-cam, but once in a while you stumble on a really interesting channel, and this is one of my favorites.
Always intelligent and thought-provoking.
These are the type of videos that should be shown in the school education systems. They display the real life living in different countries.
That's exactly why they dont show Americans what these places are really like so they can have a false ans naive understanding of the safety and standard of living they enjoy and take for granted
Yes to remind our kids why the US is so much better than these other nations and why millions of people from those other nations come to live here.
agreed
@@johnroberts7018 America is headed this way fast
You do realize this has an agenda? A 30 minute video doesn't speak for the entirety of a country. I lived and worked in a small town outside of La Esperanza, Honduras. I felt safe, there was no illegal activity, and the people were warm and caring.
You want Stockton, Detroit, Cleveland and Baltimore to represent America? Showing America's worst areas doesn't represent the whole of America.
According to my dad who he grew up in Tegucigalpa back in the 80s 90s he often talked about how great, simple and quiet that city used to be, filled with amazing people just like CARLOS HERE THE TEXAS GUY (what a legend) very educated individuals hard working and welcoming! Too bad i never got to experience that and sad to see my people suffering so much!
I don't understand how the youth has become so corrupted, instead of getting better, it became worse somehow, things used to be better in Central America, yeah we used to be even poorer but at least the people were honest and did no harm to each other, now it's full of gangs, violence and drugs and it's all the same from Guatemala all the way to Panama, is just that some of our countries are doing worse than others but overall we're all doing bad, things don't make sense anymore.

Carlos is right, it's interesting how most the central American populations continue to rise, compared to south east European countries are steady decreasing, as well as Japan decreasing substantially
It's not really true for most of them, but Honduras and my dad's country Guatemala are the main exceptions. It's going down little by little but there are definitely poor people who have too many kids
@@hiphipjorge5755 its never going down!!

Because of his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Problems of today wont matter when we face eternity in heaven or hell on judgment day. If you have not been born again, repent of your sins and be saved. Think about your eternity, my guy.

What does you being a muslim have to do with anything? Christianity came long before Islam, and is the main religion in this region. You make it sound as if because you are muslim you usually would not appreciate someone who is a Christian, but that in this case you are making an exception. And, of course you are muslim. You were born into a muslim family who lived/originated in a country where there were mostly muslims. Had you been born into a Honduran family the likelihood of you being a muslim now would have been close to zero. So, what is your point?
@dalchaval94 his wording definitely leaves room for different interpretations of his message. Since you sound like the type of muslim I would want more of in this world I am not going to argue against your point made.
Carlos seems like such a good dude. Also, can confirm as a native Houstonian that is the kind of people we are. All love
He was probing them on the red shirt guy's behalf for he was knowing English.

Being half Honduran I always dreamt of visiting my Fathers native country to explore the culture and what it has to offer but unfortunately I’ve been too scared because of the never ending violence that plagues this beautiful country hopefully one day this changes
Hey you’re me lol. Half Honduran on my fathers side. I want to go too, I’m hoping to connect with my family there, I’ll be visiting the bay islands for a wedding soon. Honestly there are places of the US I would never go too, and some places are worse than others.

my dad is Honduran. He has always told us that it's too dangerous there and I have that fear too of the violence there. He still wants to take my family there, hopefully we are able to go someday.
I just visited Honduras last year after 25 yrs . And the experience was amazing . The first few days I was culture shocked , a lot of people riding motorcycles , walking , or simply just watching the block . People are very generous & humble but you also have to watch out for crime . Rule of thumb is don’t wondered off on your own , nor travel to dangerous places . Overall , there’s so many places to visit and money goes a long way so you will have a blast . I encouraged you to visit one day , you won’t regret it .
I feel this so hard. My family in Honduras is terminally ill, but it's too dangerous for me to visit

I’ve been there twice & I totally agree with you.

Hi, I'm a Taiwanese and have just been to Honduras in the recent two months. It was a wonderful and beautiful trip for me. I've never come across anyone with guns except military and guards. People there are friendly and polite, not too many are going on and they are just living like any other people in the world. Just don't be at the wrong place at the wrong time. But that applies to anywhere, even in Taiwan.
I am from Honduras and I have been living in Taipei for the last 2 years, such a beautiful country ! I’m glad you liked my country and I agree with everything you said. Greetings !
I have a friend from Honduras 🇭🇳 who lives in Spain 🇪🇸 where I live with her Spanish hombre, you are good people, have you met Spanish people in Honduras 🇭🇳 before?
Bro, going as a tourist not the same as living there.... I've relatives living there and trust me, not good place to be, is not about not being at the wrong place at the wrong time, bad things going on there.
Here you have the typical Asian tourist in his natural habitat: The Internet. He has a completely whitewashed view of the world as a whole, thinks it's a beautiful place where bad things rarely happen and where most people are basically good.
I spent some time traveling alone in Tegucigalpa in 2010. No problemo. I think people just like danger porn and want to believe these places are anything different.
It’s so sad to see such a beautiful country with so many beautiful, kind souls that feels such pain from corruption and the acts of a few. To our friends in Honduras, please know your American friends pray for you and hope you find peace in your beautiful, kind country.
Voting for politicians that may actually offer assistance to them will do a whole lot more than prayers. Maybe consider doing that?
@@CNYKnifeNerd there is no need for your nastiness. And the US does give a lot of aid to other countries. Countries that need it. But unfortunately corruption keeps a lot of the people from actually getting the help they need.

I’ve been to Honduras and it was very intense. We had 2 translators with us and 2 security guards with us at all time. We weren’t allowed to have our phones with us, we couldn’t have any jewelry and we couldn’t have our hair done or makeup on because you then become a target in their eyes to get robbed. It’s the first time I saw a dead body. It’s definitely a trip I would never ever forget.
Why’d you go?
@@bhw5184 it was a service trip with my after school program.
@@brittanyblackmon5226what part did you go to?
Im from Honduras, and its honestly devastating to see my country infected by crime and corruption. The country has the resources and a good geographical position to be a prosperous country, but sadly corruption, crime, and things like that prevent Honduras from progressing. I Hope to see a prosperous and happy Honduras in the future. Dios bendiga mi Honduritas.
I learned long ago that if anything is happening, good or bad, it is because the state wants it that way. If it didn't, something would be done. Governments create problems, they never solve them. All over the world some politicians always gain power because of poverty and crime. The more poverty, the more power. So it'll never change then, only get worse. Instead of helping people, you do as the US politicians are doing: constantly talk about the problems but meticulously making them worse and worse instead of solving them.
No way to run a society, but that's our beloved governments. Can't control people if they're free, educated and well off. Easy to control them when they're poor, hungry and desperate. So let's make them poor, hungry and desperate!
Best plan ever here...What could possibly go wrong?
God bless Carlos. So positive, hopeful, smiling, and faithful. When I compare that to how ungrateful and delusional some Americans are, it pains me.

I didn’t notice before how beautiful Honduras’ flag is. Its colors and design would make you think of a peaceful place. It’s a shame that conflicts between other countries still have an effect in this nation.
🤣
Exactly our flag is beautiful and it reflects on the beautiful places, our food, our people. we are proud of our country, but we can’t deny the amount of problems, economic and social situations that doesn’t allow this economy from growing up. I can tell most of hondurans give our best for this country, but the narco government led us to be one the poorest countries in the world
Sadly, our new "president"/dictator has changed the flag, is planning to modify the Constitution, give the Church less power, etc.
I mean I’m from Honduras.. and obviously if you go to the dangerous neighborhoods you OBVIOUSLY will get assaulted and yeah the government SUCKS! Because my beautiful country has a lot of potential! 💖💖 que dios bendiga la bella tierra en la que nací!💖

@@codylarkhart261 I agree, bro. But when the President’s own brother gets indicted for drug trafficking? How do you battle that level of corruption? It’s overwhelming.
My dad is Honduran, his mom (my grandma) and her sisters left Tegucigalpa because it was so dangerous. You can’t even really get any tattoos that symbolize Honduras because a lot of them are demonic or gang affiliated. I ended up getting the name Tegucigalpa tattooed on me since it’s the only thing I could tattoo that’s not directly bad. My grandma says it’s really bad out there and they had to flee to have a better life. I have family out there I’ll probably never get to meet.
I'm Mexican still makes me sad to see my fellow latin american countries in so much suffering
Quien te llamo.
Is it better in Mexico compared to Honduras?
@@YOTTR it depends, i was in mexico and felt at times where it was unsafe, and there are your usual scammers. however mexico is a much bigger country and overall the quality of life is better than what's been shown in the video. i'll be honest though if you go with friends, it's more viable than going with family or by yourself.
@@YOTTR Like that guy said, Mexico's quite big and there's also a ton of variance in quality of life and safety, but in general, life in Mexico is much better than in Honduras, overall.
@@YOTTR both suck. The only great country in the region is Costa Rica, which is at a completely different level in culture, development, and mentality. None of that guerrilla garbage. Way different; its like a bubble separate from all the surrounding crap.
In 2006, I landed in Tegucigalpa airport... that was dangerous enough.
Then my mission team met up with me at the baggage claim.
They said they already had my bags loaded in the bus. I was instructed not to look in anyone's eyes or speak to anyone. Keep my bilfold in my front pocket, and walk rapidly with my group to the bus.
It took us 25 minutes to get to the heavily guarded mission house.
Our bus driver had to be the best driver alive. Ive been driving busses for 26 years, and he amazed me.
He taught me how to drive up a muddy mountain... across a rickety wooden bridge... and finaly to Guinope to visit the orphanage.
The only place that I felt unsafe was near the airport. Once you get to the smaller towns, the people are really kind.
This series is one the best on this channel for sure. Luckily I had the chance to have a glimpse of Honduras back in 2017 but I only stayed in Copán and just went through San Pedro and Tegus quickly. Hope I can visit this country again in the near future. Un abrazo desde Argentina para los hermanos hondureños!
I lived in las vegas since i was 4 years now (Born in honduras). Ive been living in honduras for the last couple months on vacation and what a beautiful country it is. Amo mi pais!

ah, don't worry, most people know whats up. He wasn't even in danger at any moment in this video. USA definitely has WAY more dangerous places than anything he showed here... _Canada_ has more dangerous places than anything in this video, I'm sure Honduras has some janky areas, but what I saw in this video is no different than the Skid Rows of North American cities.
@@JunkBondTrader Canada's more dangerous?! 🤣
@@JunkBondTrader what a load of bs.
And on the same token, you could have just went to a nice place and avoided all the rest of the country that is bad... sure every country has good and bad places but is it worth it to go to a country and risk it? In the US the bad parts of major cities are clearly obvious, everyone will tell you beforehand. Just don't go to those places. In a country like Honduras, could you truly go anywhere without a local guide? And feel safe the entire time? Any part of the USA or Canada is safe to travel without a guide except for like the ghettos of Toronto or Montreal and I mean you'd only run into those if you were walking randomly for miles or you sought them out. Sorry but Honduras is worse than USA and Canada on average, much worse. You can't take your own experience that turned out positive and say that that's the whole country. Did you have a guide, or at least a person with you like a friend who knew the country? I would be surprised if you were in the country, not on a resort, without a guide with you.
@@onelonelypickle exactly. Only a fool would believe the US and Canada are more dangerous than Honduras. You need a freaking guide to travel around, and even then, it's EXTREMELY dangerous. Anything and everything can happen in that country.

My girlfriend is from Honduras came to the states in 2016. She said she misses it but she had to leave it was too dangerous and there weren't opportunities for her at the time. She said in the states she makes more money than she ever did back home. Hopefully the situation changes there I want to go with her back to her home country. It's a beautiful land with amazing culture and food. I've been to a few Honduran birthday parties with her, they've always been very welcoming to me as an outsider.
hey,do you mean that Honduras is getting better now?I’m wondering
Tive a oportunidade de morar um ano em Tegucigalpa em 1993, trabalhando em um projeto de consultoria organizacional na empresa de energia elétrica (ENEE). Naquela época os problemas de insegurança eram mínimos. Infelizmente hoje é um dos países mais perigosos do mundo. O povo hondurenho é hospitaleiro, alegre e trabalhador. Honduras é um país agraciado pela natureza com muitos encantos naturais. Que Deus proteja as pessoas de bem deste País, pois não merecem o que estão vivenciando com a escalada de violência e pobreza, já há um bom tempo. VIVA HONDURAS!
Fico surpreendido com o seu comentário, que bom que sua experiência em TGU foi boa. Eu sou de lá, moro em SP atualmente. Voltarei porque sinto afeição mas sou consciente que Téguz é uma cidade de sensações ásperas, ainda mais para os que crescimos nos bairros pobres.
