El Salvador used to be a beautiful place, one I would’ve loved to spend the rest of my life in. Things used to be calm, and people lived relatively peaceful lives.
But things change.
Now all the natural beauty’s starting to fade away, crime runs rampant, and more people than ever are living in poverty. People used to work the land and cultivate it, now they destroy it, leaving different species of plants and animals extinct. You can’t go out at night because you’ll get mugged or worse. My grandmother was telling us that they found a couple with their heads cut off and thrown in a creek a couple weeks ago. And because of the change from Colónes to US dollars, the economy has suffered. Couple that with corrupt government officials officials and a poor health system, and you have a smorgasbord of being ****ed.
The US may have its share of issues, but it’s nowhere near as bad as that.
