• El Salvador: Surfing El Tunco

    June 15, 2022 in El Salvador ⋅ 🌧 28 °C

    El Salvador has some good and bad reputation around it:
    + It is the first country to declare bitcoin legal tender (they use usd as their innate currency)
    - It has a situation with two rivalling gangs (13 and 18 identifiable by tattoes, which again made the current president incarcerate many tattoed people even completely harmless ones, stirring human rights activism). The 13/18 tattoes are earned by atrocious acts, such as murdering a rival.
    - It has very few indigenous people (or the people have few such roots), as a ruling general in the 30ties outlawed being indigenous and hunted such..
    + The country is beautiful (lots of Mayan ruins and volcanoes) and the people are very welcoming. They just hosted the world surf league too!
