Yes through Nicaragua . Just one issue was the pollution would affect a lake that provides much of the countries freshwater

Just been to IKEA today. Quite surprising how much is made in China. I bet people think it is all made in Abba land!

The device you are reading this on will be made in china.  The router will be made in china.  If your internet is not Virgin, your DSLAM will likely be Hauwei (currently).
