Today I started to chat with a teacher at a rural school in Barra de Santiago. After about two minutes of conversation he asked me:- So, how's the situation in Sweden at the moment?
- The situation concerning...?
- Well, the political situation?
Situations like this is what almost makes me consider moving to El Salvador for good. Imagine a regular Swede asking a foreigner the same question, after just knowing the person for a couple of minutes! Suddenly, the teacher and I got into a conversation about Swedish social security and the need for sex education in El Salvador. One reason for bringing up sex education is the fact that El Salvador is 20 times smaller than Sweden but has a population of almost the same size. While in Sweden the big proportion of elders will become a serious problem in the near future, in El Salvador the situation is reversed. The Salvadoran people is a young one.
Today, I just love it here. I guess leaving the city and going to the countryside is good for my well-being. I got back to the office a couple of hours ago, but tomorrow morning at 5 (!!) I'll be leaving for the beaches of La Unión, a department situated quite far from Santa Tecla (by car though, not in a bus like the one in the picture). And in the evening, a cool party awaits. Forget about feeling homesick, Valborg is nothing compared to chasing waves in El Salvador!
In my opinion...
... El Salvador has the coolest buses ever.
... there's nothing like a cold milkshake when you're sweating like a monster.
... I will definitely show the Salvadorans that Swedes sure know how to dance!
