Yes it's true.  While in Tegus, Lidia and I were robbed at gunpoint in a posh part of town.  Sure, I was rather naive walking around with a laptop by my side but I figured all of our hard work was worth enough good karma to keep us safe in the inner city.  Nope.
So we had our marine park laptop stolen with all of our contacts, presentations, laws, regulations etc.  I had my wallet stolen with all i.d. and $300. 
A bit of a bummer.  But we will bounce back with fresh ideas and brand new presentations.  Plus, we've got some good karma on credit now.

No he wasn't nice. It was crackhead etiquette of threatening and pointing and yelling without the normal niceties.
Yes, there are major differences between the islands and the mainland but I think that we would find that social standards are strongly correlated to standards of living.  Honduras has an interesting situation on its hands as the great economic divide broadens between one region of the country and another.  Things are going to get even worse if the Congress accepts the proposal of creating a tax-free zone in the Bay Islands.
Personally, I don't see much social sense in this move.  It's seems like more of a tax break for the rich if you ask me; while we're on the topic of robbery. 
Anyways that's my opinion and not that of the Marine Park in anyway whatsoever.
