Things I see everyday in Tegucigalpa

Many things are very similar to other places I have lived. But there are a few things that one sees everyday in Tegucigalpa. They are just part of the scenery.
Like taxis. All taxis in Tegus are white with the yellow registration number. They are all styles, models, ages and conditions but identifiably taxis.
Or power lines. This is a pretty standard display.

Lots of these...(double cabs are particularly popular)
And often like this...

And this, for when your solid metal gate just won't do...

And guys equipped like this...
...outside stores and so forth. That doesn't really bother me that much except that most of them look like they're barely 17 years old.

And these. Two of the major cell phone providers. They are as ubiquitous as Verizon stores are in the states if not more so because most people are on pay as you go plans and every corner store sells minutes.

  2. Laurie,
    I'm glad you are enjoying it. It's fun to have an outlet to express some of the interests and oddities of living in a different culture.
