Two Nicaraguan oddities

1. They point with their lips.  It's really bizarre.  Like, if you ask them where the trash can is, they purse their lips and wiggle them in the direction you should look.  Although this would never happen, as Nicaragua has no trash cans.

2. They're totally OK with singing the same song multiple times at karaoke bars.  Ok, that particular one is hella catchy (wait for the chorus).  But still, the fifth time a tone deaf guy in a Sandino hat belts it out, I personally feel like the novelty wears off.  That said, the group of gringos belting Don't Stop Believing is probably no less annoying.

OK, gotta peace.  Miss Nicaragua is on tonight and it's a big deal, so one of the host family's is having a watching party now.
