    I am from El Salvador, but I have lived in Canada for 40 years and this year when I went to El Salvador for a two-month trip and the first time I went to the supermarket I had the same experience as you; I had not weighed neither the fruits nor the vegetables; but the cashier didn't complain, instead, he took everything and went back to the produce section and weighed everything for me. As you, I didn't know that I had to do that beforehand. That was so kind!!

    Hey there! Great content!
    I'll definitely check out more of your videos!
    One quick thing about the "salvadorean timezone": Although this could seem funny or just something peculiar, it could actually be a rather serious concern for those moving to El Salvador and doing business for example. Part of the salvadorean timezone is a total lack of sense of urgency and respect for other people's time and that is a big problem I have experienced personally when conducting even basic transactions there. It is a common thing to bump into people that simply don't show up as agreed, ridiculously late or simply don't show up at all without the courtesy to let you know they won't be able to make it.
    This is unfortunately a reality that foreigners or even Salvadoreans living abroad and moving to El Salvador need to be aware of and kind of ready to expect or it will drive you nuts for a couple of years until you learn to accept that is just how they are.

      Hey, Victoria! We have been on the beach in San Blas, in a condo called Paseo Del Prado in Apopa, and now we are in the city.
      All three locations offer very different climates, lifestyles, costs, perks, challenges, and pros and cons. It all depends on what’s important to you and what trade-offs you are willing to make.
