I We have our own “Halloween ” : Los gagјazotes I We are easygoing, kinds, friendly, warm people, who really care about other people. We are very welcoming people (hospitality).

For example when you are arriving delayed and someone call you, Nicaragua used to say they are near, almost arriving the place and most of the time they are not even ready to go out. We don’t pronounce the Is/ at the end of the words.

Incas call people by their physical characteristics Including skin color and body shape. If someone is trying to get your attention, he or she is likely to do so by calling you something that refers to your physical characteristics. This is not meant to be offensive, and should not be taken personally. For example, any person with Asian facial characteristics (even if they are Nicaragua) is called Chino or China. African-American students will be called negro/a, Cubans/a, and cosset/a (this refers to the Afro-Caribbean people on the Atlantic coast of Nicaragua).
White people are called Chile/a, and people with brown skin are called Moreno/a. Heavier people are openly called Gordon/a or more affectionately creditor/a.

I I Space and distance: Incas are less conscientious of personal space than others. Incas stand close and touch frequently during conversation. Nicaragua culture doesn’t stress an importance on punctuality in the same way as other cultures may.
