Do any of you know any Cuban doctors in Chinandega or Leon?

Nicaragua: Residency:

Contact Paul Tiffer and he will tell you everything you need to do in detail. I used him and followed his instructions and everything went according to how he said it would. I dropped of everything he told me to bring to his office in Managua, paid him $400 and he called me in about 2 months and I met him at immigration in Managua, paid him another $400 and picked up my residency card. He speaks English. ptiffer@tifferlawfirm.com Paul Tiffer R.

Nicaragua: Sport Fishing:

Does anyone have any information on sport fishing opportunities both salt and freshwater?

Nicaragua: Where to buy fruit trees and ornamental plants:

I am starting a citrus farm in Chinandega and I needed 800 citrus trees, 200 avocado trees and some misc. ornamental shrubs/bushes/flowers. After getting the usual gringo price run around, I finally found a young man named Saul in Catarina who has a very nice nursery near the entrance of Catarina. He delivered all of my order at a price of about 40% less than the bozos and rip off artists who had quoted me prices. The deal went seamlessly and as agreed to. I could not be more pleased. If any of you need fruit trees, ornamentals, or flowers, Saul is your man. He can be reached by Movistar at 7817 7995

Nicaragua: Shipping 40ft. container.:

Nicaragua: Building Costs in SJDS:

I recently bought a farm in the Chinandega area where I am in the process of building a 4000+ sf house. I needed the services of an architect to do some design and draw my house plans. You can imagine what an ordeal this could be if you are not fluent in Spanish and the architect you are dealing with has not a clue of American house plan terms and what Americans want in terms of floor plans, closets, where to put bathrooms and hallways, etc.. I was introduced to a young professional licensed architect named Rodrigo Watson who produced for me a thorough professional set of house plans with dimensions in feet and meters that included everything you would get in the states....floor plan, roof plan, 3D elevations,etc. He speaks fluent English and understands what you want. His fees are quite reasonable and he is honest and a pleasure to deal with. He works the entire country of Nicaragua out of his office in Managua. You can contact him (505)8809 2338 Movistar or rodrigowatson.archstudio@gmail.com Tim Sewell www.NuevaVidaNicaragua.com

Nicaragua: moving to nicaragua:

I personally used Paul Tiffer to get my residency and approval of my household goods to be shipped here to Nicaragua. His fee was $800.00 and $200.00 respectively. His fee was well worth it compared to the experience a few of my friends had using local talent. I made one trip to his ofc. in Managua to give him the documents he told me to bring and a follow up trip to Managua to pick up my residency "cedula" card. His info. is as follows: Paul Tiffer R.

Nicaragua: No Stop Signs:

One topic of conversation that is rarely seen on this forum is the lack of stop signs in many cities, especially Chinandega. I have enjoyed my several years here in Nicaragua, but to me this is totally inexcusable. In Chinandega there are major intersections and minor intersections without stop signs and you are supposed to know who has the right of way. Well, my memory is not that good. I have been told that in case of an accident,at one of these sign-less intersections, the person who ran the nonexistent stop sign is at fault. What does this do for tourism development, out of town visitors and truck deliveries with drivers not from the area? I have had numerous close calls and I have seen very little progress in improving this situation. This fact has to play a huge role in making car rentals so high here which also negatively affects tourism. If the city of Chinandega can install colonial lamp posts, a new Virgin Mary fountain, totally ignored school crossing signs, etc., why cant they put a stop sign at every intersection??
