El Salvador 3/14/2013

---

As Vietnam, El Salvador had a civil war which lasted 12 years (1980-1992). Peace Accords were signed in Mexico on January 16, 1992. Since 1981 the U.S. President Reagan pumped about $500 Million a year to help the Salvadoran army to spare El Salvador from socialist as in Nicaragua. It has used the US dollar as its main currency since 2001. It has a total of 21 Volcanoes and it frequently hit by earthquakes, the last big one being on January 13, 2001. Earthquake was marked at 7.6 on the Richter Scale.

Is it safe to go to El Salvador? I think so. Many El Salvadorans advised me not to go in the capital of Tegucigalpa because of a high crime area. However, I did and felt secure and warm. The world has become unsafe in the last few years as many cities that I went by recently compared with a time I were there before because a main reason is the people is poorer therefore a crime increases accordingly. Why? The cost of gasoline is high everywhere so people is hard to make a living. The gasoline went up resulted from 2 wars: Iraq and Afghanistan then making the world unsafe.
