      What most americans living in USA don't know is that salvadoreans love american people, american culture and the english language. When USA entered WW2, El Salvador also entered WW2 on USA side on the same day. El Salvador wanted to be annexed by USA in 1822 and 1865 and even the salvadorean flag looked like USAs flag for so many years before 1865-1910's. We are not even close on what your neighbor mexicans treatment towards americans who have resentment to this day.

So, I subscribe to Surfshark and I use it to change my ‘virtual’ location when working remotely from various countries - but when you describe using a VPN to “just” protect your device - and your personal data most of all - and you have no particular need to change country or proxy server, which function exactly do you use to just achieve ‘protection’ when not needing a proxy? Hope that question makes sense 😊🔥

    I got mixed up with El Salvador and Ecuador and kept thinking 'Wow, this looks like Ecuador (really El Salvador), and she said it was hot'. Then you mentioned pupusas and knew I was making the mistake. I like pupusas in Guatemala better, it seemed like I got used to them, they're more 'dry' on the outside, and the ones in El Salvador are more 'wet'. They're both good but I noticed a difference.

    If the camera was any closer we'd be viewing your tonsils. There's a reason people hold the camera at arm's length, or, better yet, use selfie sticks. Did you just wake up from a 20 year hibernation? Wide angle lenses (that are used in almost all cameras) are not meant to be used close because they distort the face. Its aggravating to watch this.
