Spanish is the main language here. I have met some people who know English, but it is not very common.
The official currencies are the U.S. Dollar and Bitcoin. El Salvador was the first country in the world to adopt Bitcoin as an official currency.
Depending on where you buy it, it can be anywhere from one quarter to a dollar. In most places, it will cost about 50 cents.
I was invited to a carne asada this weekend with my co-researcher’s family. The meat was so delicious. I am still thinking about it. It was also such a beautiful experience to be able to attend a family event and get to know everyone.
Shakira! Shakira is playing a couple of concerts in San Salvador this week, and everyone is celebrating and preparing for it. We danced to her in my fitness dance class for multiple days. Every store in the mall was playing her music.
