Tim Version: * Changed hostal to Dizzys "El Hostal", got very very comfortable. * Partied in San Salvador, saw ruins, surfed, chilled, got to know and be close to Eve. The version that follows no chronological order - as the name says, its a mush: Its funny moving from one hostel to another, especially right next door! It feels downright treacherous, but damnit I wanted a fridge heh. And man i... Read Full Entry

The hostel and area is surrounded by these hanging vines, awesome fun as they´re strong enough to swing around on

Little cabans for rent! Shabby as hell but cheap and a good location. Doors made for El Salvadorians - about 5ft tool!

An incredible statue in a museum in San Salvador just next to Parque Cuscatlan - small but really really good!

The abandonded building next to the restuarant that I think had squatters in it - look! Stairs to its own private beach and everything! Insanity!

Just to the right of the main abandoned building near the restaurant in La Libertad, that pier was abandoned too, and again, look at the location and previous granduer it would have had!

So many chickens here and Nicaragua have this feature that I thought it was a breed... apparently its just a disease!

is not racism
lol! im a salvadorean girl, born and raised,I was looking at your blog and i'm glad you liked our contry so much! :) Just wanted to make clear that the weird staring on the locals part is not racism AT ALL! believe me, i should know.... people here are just crazy curious and they are not shy about it! a lot of the time people are a bit "surprised" to see tourist so they, well...stare! the same goes with the girl you where holding hands with. It's just very rare to see that here! maybe they where just girls wondering how they're sister got such a hot australian guy ;) lol. Try wearing a less "tourist style" you know, those kind of shorts with bags on the side and worn off shirts with backpacks that tourist always dress with and you'll see how people stare much less.

true true...
Heh the staring part yeh I can often understand. Down at the beach there it is pretty well run and touristy though! It was funny though because Id stopped noticing it but the girl I was with still saw it. Again with the girl, if its rare yeh then thats all fair enough... however there are curious stares i.e. on the bus, then there are stares that make you stop in your tracks. A look you tend to learn to watch for as its the kind the precedes a bar fight kinda deal. They were mostly the latter unfortunately =( It was the guys that were giving more dirty looks than the others... Haha yeh less touristy helps a million, wearing jeans, more plain shoes and a shirt not obviously gringo`ish does wonders! With the colour skin though, fitting in still doesn`t happen... unlike here in Brazil now where I first get asked if I am Brazilian, then if I am Argentinian as my Portuguese is terrible, then I explain I`m Australian. THAT is a beautiful feeling =) With all said and done though, El Salvador is unbelievable and worldwide well and truly one of my favourite places to be and has the most incredible people in Central America I think!
