Knicks and knacks… btw, never say chunche to a Nicaraguan… but it is completely transparent for a Costarrican.

In Ecuador you don’t want to use the word chucho for dog. The widely adapted Quechua word chucho is an incredibly derogatory slang word for a particular part of the female anatomy i.e. our equivalent of the C-word.

I'm missing LAG! My wife and I married in La Antigua Guatemala in December 1983 and have always wanted a colonial home there. I check into your site at least once every day without fail....it keeps my dreams alive! —Hugo (El Canche)
