I hear this quite a bit here in Nicaragua. Most of you can guess what it means. It's kind of a polite "take it easy" or "relax."
I've mentioned before in my blog that the pace of life is much slower here.
People take their time to do things. Actually they take their sweet time to do things. (This applies to companies and institutions, too.)
This isn't necessarily a bad thing. Most of the time.
But there are exceptions.
Case in point. This building in Masaya has been on the point of collapse EVER SINCE I GOT HERE. That's like almost three years. People walk under it each and every day.
Tranquilo? No thanks. This time, I'll walk on the other side.
