Honduras

Roatan is not a peninsula, but an island; it lies on the Caribbean Sea, in front of the northern shores of Honduras.

Honduras is neighbored by Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Guatemala.

Sudan is in Africa and is the largest country in the region. Honduras is in Central America and known for its beautiful beaches. Angola is also in Africa and has a diverse culture with Portuguese influences. Kenya is in East Africa and famous for its wildlife and safaris in national parks like Maasai Mara.

The largest volcano in Honduras is the Cerro Las Minas, located in the western part of the country near the border with El Salvador. It is part of the Celaque National Park and reaches an elevation of 2,849 meters (9,347 feet) above sea level.

The deadliest hurricane to hit Honduras was Hurricane Fifi. It hit the country in September 1974 as a Category 2 hurricane. It had 110 mile per hour winds which resulted in between 8,000 and 10,000 fatalities.

That would be Nicaragua. According to the CIA World Factbook and the Encyclopedia of the Nations, the border between Honduras and Nicaragua is 922 km long (573 miles).

The five themes of geography in Honduras include location (Central America), place (diverse landscapes such as mountains, rainforests, and Caribbean coastline), human-environment interaction (reliance on agriculture and tourism), movement (migration of people and goods), and region (cultural and linguistic diversity within the country).

Honduras is a country.

No-one has done a reliable survey and much depends on who you count as Catholic. In a poll taken in 2007, 47% said they were Catholic, 36% described themselves as Evangelical Protestant and the rest claimed to be "other" or refused to answer.

As of 2021, the illiteracy rate in Honduras is estimated to be around 13%. The government has been implementing programs to reduce this rate through expanded educational opportunities and literacy campaigns.

According to 2005 estimates, the city of Tegucigalpa has approximately 1.5 million people

As of 2021, the unemployment rate in Honduras is estimated to be around 7%. The country has been experiencing economic challenges which have contributed to this rate, including a high poverty level and the impact of natural disasters. Efforts to improve job creation and economic stability are ongoing.

The scientific name for the Honduran manatee is Trichechus manatus hondurensis.

Some popular folk tales from Honduras include "La Llorona," a ghostly woman who cries for her lost children, "El Cadejo," a supernatural dog that protects travelers, and "El Duende," a mischievous forest spirit. These tales are often passed down through oral tradition and reflect the cultural beliefs and values of the Honduran people.

In Honduras, school starts early in the morning, students would go home for a little bit and then go to school again that evening for a little more time. There's little violence in Honduras schools. Also, students and teachers are said to be very intelligent so education is taken very seriously and it's very helpful. In the U.S lunch is eaten in school but in Honduras you would go home to eat. There's uniforms in Honduras schools.

some of the job consisted of tourism and canal workers

Beans and tortillas, for breakfast lunch and dinner, every single day. This is especially true of Honduran farmers; the ones that have to grow their own food to survive, still live in primitive conditions and use outdated, 19th century farming methods. That is, to plow the fields, a man has to hold the plow steady, while an ox pulls on it. It is an extraordinarily difficult life; one of the things you most commonly hear in Latin America is "the poor are poor because they don't work." You can tell that swine, that most poor people in Latin America work themselves to the bone; they are poor, because of government corruption, more than anything else. The bane of third world countries, is as much government corruption as it is U.S. corporations, although, the blame can not be completely placed on the U.S. For example, Japan is a country, that in all truth, is ruthlessly exploited by the United States, far more than Latin America ever was. Although the Japanese archipelago has little to offer in terms of raw materials, the human raw materials on the other hand, that's something else, people, can be as much a resource as wood or oil, and because Americans view them as "intelligent," the Japanese are to white Americans, basically, "smart slaves." Many xenophobic "militant" Japanese have said for years now, their country is being exploited, and yet for all the money the U.S. syphons off, for all the abuses of the U.S. military, Japan is rich, where most of Latin America is poor. In other words there is more to it than just "Yankee imperalism" some degree of responsibility rests on the shoulders of the countries. So, how is having American bases there exploiting the Japanese? Well for one thing, you think that is U.S. tax dollars paying for those places? No man, no, no, in its infinite turdness, the U.S. government sets it up so that the Japanese basically pay America, for U.S. military basis to be there. In fact, part of the reason the U.S. is so strongly disliked, is because America does not pay for its overseas military bases, the host countries pay for them, and one of the most expensive ones, since they play on the Japanese fear of China, is the one in Japan, or I should say ARE the ones in Japan. U.S. military servicemen get away with rape and murder, and, they are basically untouchable both by Japanese police, and Japanese law, on top of it all, the Japanese government foots the bill for all of it. Despite all this, Japan, barely larger than Honduras geographically, actually not even that, is the 2nd largest economy in the world. Again, yeah, the poor people of Honduras have a tragic tale to tell, nevertheless blame does not rest completely with "yankee imperialism." By no means am I justifying though, abuse of power; people DO need to take responsibility for their lives, but that does not justify the powerful screwing them over at every turn, or tampering with their DNA tests when they are looking for their families while their security staff protects them the way Beyonce is protected either. If a person is unemployed, then, they have time to meditate! SOME responsibility rests on your shoulders, even in a bad situation. Not all of it though; some people were given everything from birth, and those who think themselves successful, in fact did not earn any of it, it was just one lucky break after the next.

Christmas in Honduras is a remarkable holiday. This is the one time of the year where families try to come together. In Catholic families, Christmas is celebrated on December 24th, and traditional families go to Midnight Mass and then get together for what is known as "Cena Navideña" or Christmas Dinner. This meal includes "tamales", roasted pork, roasted turkey and the traditional "torrejas" for dessert. It is a time of rejoicing. Homes are brightly decorated and most families put up a "Nacimiento" or Nativity scene which in smaller towns or very traditional families can take up an entire room.

Food in Daily Life. Beans and corn tortillas are the mainstays of the diet. The beans are usually fried, and the tortillas are small, thick, and usually handmade; ideally, they are eaten warm. A farm worker's lunch may be little more than a large stack of tortillas, a few spoonfuls of beans, and some salt. The ideal meal includes fried plantains, white cheese, rice, fried meat, a kind of thickened semisweet cream called mantequilla, a scrambled egg, a cabbage and tomato salad or a slice of avocado, and a cup of sweet coffee or a bottled soft drink. These meals are served in restaurants and homes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner year-round. Plantains and manioc are important foods in much of the country, especially the north and the Mosquitia. Diners often have a porch or a door open to the street. Dogs, cats, and chickens wander between the tables, and some people toss them bones and other scraps. There are Chinese restaurants owned by recent immigrants. In the early 1990s, North American fast-food restaurants became popular.
