GendoTheGreat Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 In less than a weeks time I'm off on a last minute holiday to the beutiful capital of El Salvador; San Salvador. The purpose of this thread is for people to post and tell me anything they know about San Salvador. Absolutely anything, no matter how trivial it may seem. I've searched the internet but I haven't found anything really useful, some personal experiences would be a great help. You could also email me at chooeychunks@yahoo.com.

MeddlingMonk Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 The best way to impress the locals is to step off the plane wearing a Ronald Reagan mask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GendoTheGreat Posted November 1, 2002 Author Share Posted November 1, 2002 Actually the last part of the trip will be by boat, but I'll bear it in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Eggplant Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 here are some sites Gendo which will give you some insight into El Salvador. The World Fact Book on El Salvador or this one: Lonely Planet guide to El Salvador or there is this one: U.S Consular Affairs El Salvador or you could try this one: Embassy of El Salvador Washington D.C now this one looks cool: El Salvador in Panarama 360 degrees and finally this site too. Gayscape Exposes El Salvador these sites should give you an idea of climate location, history both past and present, economy, tourism, population, political climate, etc. so brush up a bit before you go. no likes an accidental tourist.

Darth Eggplant Posted November 3, 2002 Share Posted November 3, 2002 oh oh oh! very important very scientific. remember Bart's Australian phone call? before you go watch the water swirl down your toilet bowl, then in Central America watch the water swirl down the bowl. I scientifically know they swirl in different directions, but you will be able to see it first hand. also if you can stay in the airplanes washroom the entire flight and keep flushing until you see the water change direction. have with you in inventory one of those global positioning devices and report back when you have the imperical data. I bet there would be a Nobel prize in it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GendoTheGreat Posted November 3, 2002 Author Share Posted November 3, 2002 I appreciate the effort, but most of it seems to be stuff I've already found out. I don't know exactly what you think I'm going to be doing there, but the last link doesn't help much at all. Though I suppose I could go dancing.

GendoTheGreat Posted November 11, 2002 Author Share Posted November 11, 2002 It looks as though my trip has been delayed for at about a week. I don't mind though, as long as I go within the next six months or so I won't have to get my arm filled with holes again. So if anyone else has info on San Salvador, there are still a few days at least to share it with me. C'mon guys, gimme the skinny. Who's been to El Salvador?

Darth Eggplant Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 I told you I have been through not all of central america, but a lot of it. my trip was living and traveling with the locals. lots of metal tin, busses with no shocks, people go to bed in rural places early like 8pm, no night life what-so-ever; AND no monkey business. officials and police believe in payola system and bribes and stuff AND IF YOU GET CAUGHT doing something well let's just say these might be your last posts ever. Central America is fine if you are going for cultural exchange and or for a life experience or if you are going as a 5 star tourist, but if you are going as chowchilla charlie then chowchilla bye 'it's sproutella for you' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
