Honduras

Nobody rightfully "owns" Honduras (except the Hondurans, I guess).

The president of Honduras (in case that's what you want to know) is Porfirio Lobo Sosa (starting 27 January 2010).

Used to be owned by Spain, but gained it's independence (along with Mexico) in 1821.

Cuba is one of the many Spanish speaking nations in the western hemisphere. The word for goodbye or bye is 'adios'.

No. A Honduran is from Honduras while a Mexican is from Mexico.

Average temperature- 70 degrees F, Maximum temperature- 90 degrees F, Minimum temperature- 60 degrees F

4 famous landmarks in Honduras are Copan, Comagua, basilica de Suyapa.

While passing someone on the street, one says Adiós. The word usually means "Good-bye," but in this case it is meant as a general greeting.

I'm from Honduras, I live in the nation's capital city Tegucigalpa.

To talk about poverty should not be a subjective matter but rather a pragmatic one. It all gets stripped down to analyzing the actual economic system we possess. By nature, by influence and due to other motives, we are divided in very iconic social classes.

People are rarely dying of hunger, it's not as drastic as you think, but indeed, we do have lots of poverty; this just means people will be able to eat in necessary amounts to keep them alive.

On the contrary, we have a couple of families with ferraris, range rovers, Audis of any sort, Mercedes Benz, you name the brand. It's capitalism at its best. We're also filled with drug money due to the recent strong presence of drug related operations within the country and in relation to foreign drug producing countries. The middle class is still noticeable, definitely a very segredated economy.

In short terms, Honduras is generally a poor country, but at the same time, it's a very filthy rich country where the very rich are easily comparable to the rich of the US.

yes they do along with other hispanic countries

In order of Largest - Smallest: Mexico,Nicaragua,Belize

Honduras is located in Central America. It borders the Caribbean Sea, between Guatemala and Nicaragua. Honduras also borders the Gulf of Fonseca, between El Salvador and Nicaragua.

See the related link below for a map of the area.

The nation that lies between Honduras and Costa Rica is Nicaragua. Nicaragua is also the largest country in Central America. Its capital city is Managua.

Ricardo Alvarez is the Minister of Government for Honduras.

Although you can hardly compare them to the Rockies, Andes, or Himalayas, Honduran topography is generally so mountainous, the capital of Tegucigalpa is not built like a traditional Spanish city like other capitals in Latin America, since the terrain simply did not allow for it. Like cities in Spain, and the Arab world, most Latin American cities follow a city plan that dates all the way back to ancient Babylon; where the city, would be built around a central plaza that had a sort of garden in it, and said plaza, would have the city's temple, or, in the Arab world's case a Mosque, in Spain and Latin America's case, a Catholic cathedral. Tegucigalpa has no "central plaza" in the true sense of the word to speak of as a result. Not only that, most of the country is in fact an extremely dangerous jungle, so dangerous, that American special forces soldiers simply LOVE it. They love to train there, that is why, even though the pressence is relatively minimal now, for all intents and purposes Honduras appears to have a permanent U.S. military pressence. There are also a lot of CIA dogs there by the way, who use the country's prisons for torture to extract information from people. Hey, as a kid I heard stories..... In fact, it would not surprise me if some of our good friends the Arabs, captured by the CIA, were held in Honduran prisons at nondescript locations somewhere in those jungles. Trust me on this, and I say this as a former cub scout, even if they escaped, they would not make it to a town or city. They would likely get eaten by a jaguar, viciously assaulted by monkeys, or, bitten by a very dangerous viper nicnamed "barba amarilla" (yellow beard) whose poison will kill a man in the space of two hours. Not just Honduras; Central America has some of the most dangerous jungles in the world. When I asked my troop leader, a boy scout leader in his 20's, why we only camped in pine forests just outside the capital, and not the jungles, he told me all about it, he said, the jungles were too dangerous for kids our age, most of us were int he 2nd or 3rd grade. Most of the country, is a mountanous, sweltering jungle, where travel is extremely difficult, and extremely hazardous, even today, in fact, to get to some of the remote towns, you have to travel there by foot, after getting off the bus in a dirt road somewhere, well, by foot or burro (donkey) if one is available.

The Banana Rebublic because it grows and exports a lot of bananas.

5,000 miles

Much less. Costa Rica is the only country in between. I drove it in one day. May 400 miles.

1. It is said that on Christopher Columbus' last voyage to America he exclaimed: 'Thank God, we are safely out of these depths!' when he came across the offshore islands of Honduras. In Spanish Honduras means depths, giving the country it's name, or so the story goes.

3. Hurricane Mitch, which hit Honduras in 1998, caused more than 2 billion dollars worth of damage.

6. The Honduras independence day is on the 15th September and is the only national holiday.

7. On 10th September, children are celebrated and receive gifts. This special day is called 'the day of Honduran child'.

Corn, coffee, bananas and many familiar fruits and vegetables like tomatoes and bell peppers are grown in Honduras. Tropical fruits like lychees, passionfruit, star fruit and nances are plentiful. Many families keep chickens and cows and cattle are also raised on large ranches. Shrimp are raised in plantations in the Golfo de Fonseca and many fish and shellfish, including conch, are found in the waters of the north coast.

== == it looks like wood

== == It may look like wood in the villages, but not in the capital. My family lives there and they have a perfectly modern home. Bricks, A/C, running water, all that good stuff. The only thing it is lacking is in the roof. It leaks all the time when it rains.

Guatemalans go to school Monday through Friday just like Americans do.

The country that is located south of Honduras and north of Costa Rica would be Nicaragua. Nicaragua is the largest country located in Central America.
