The video above was filmed last year at some point; I went on a video editing binge from Lima to Los Angeles and I have all sorts of interesting things to share. Also, I went back to Oriental Market aka largest market in C. America today and filmed the insanity.
All islands have a specialty shop and my friends who run a shop like the idea. I brought back lots of spices from South Africa and they were a hit; I figure over time as the demographic of the average visitor changes, so will their tastes. In the meantime it would be nice for current residents to have a little more spice in their life.
This is basically what I’ve bought: 2 x 30 chocolate bar packs, 2 x 12 small Pringles, 2 x 28oz packs of California Trail Mix,1 pack of 52 Quaker flavor variety, 6 pack of Red Bull, 2 x 1lb of peanut butter, 4 x 250g packs of granola, a twin pack of some kashi rip off, 1 x Planters variety 24 pack, 3 small bottles of soya sauce, 1 medium sized, 3 small bottles of extra virgin olive oil and that’s about it. For personal consumption, I just bought a few heads of broccoli.
Chocolate bars & Pringles will have biggest markup and volume.
I couldn’t help but note that the biggest winners would be worst for you.
I was let down when it came to wasabi as I couldn’t find it anywhere. Apparently it’s not a “big thing” down here in Nicaragua. Also, PriceMart aka the Costco of Nicaragua was cool but also a let down as it was built for large families or restaurants; I need things in individual packs. That said, if you’re looking to meet attractive Nicaraguan women, forget the club and get a Pricemart card…
If the items don’t sell they will just sit on the shelves until they do.
In the video, I’m landing on Big Corn Island and that air-strip is basically the entire length of the longest part of the island to give you an idea and that island is 3x the size of the one I am going to called Little Corn. When the plane lands it’s going over some dirt runway; that’s the expansion project for international flights which is moving slowly but… surely(ish).
