"Expats in Managua often find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to. The language barrier can be a challenge, as Spanish is the primary language spoken in Managua. Additionally, the local customs and traditions can be difficult to understand and navigate. Expats may also find the pace of life in Managua to be slower than what they are used to, as well as the lack of modern amenities and infrastructure. Finally, the political and economic instability in Nicaragua can be a source of stress for expats," said another expat in Managua, Nicaragua.
"Buying things that I perceive as "necessary" like furniture, basic household stuff etc. You can't go to one store like Walmart or Target or Home Depot and get what you need and go home. It takes LOTS of time, effort and savvy to get the basics of living," wrote a member who made the move to Managua, Nicaragua.
