Nicaraguans are very open to make new friends and consider that a good friendship should last forever. Generally, Nicaraguans enjoy taking their visitors to outdoors touristic places, restaurants and parties in which everybody enjoys dancing.
Men greet each other with a hearty handshake, and close friends hug and pat each other on the back.
Between female friends, the usual greeting is a kiss on the cheek and a gentle hug. Visitors are very welcome and Nicaraguans enjoy hospitality. Some people use to exchange business cards at the beginning of a meeting but others use to do it at the end. Touching is accepted just while greeting. Because the recent change of the government to democracy better to avoid politics topics.
