    Im actually Guatemalan and I care about my home country but sometimes, gotta let things run their course. In case you want to know what you can do there, (other than get shot), you can go to the rainforest of petén or go to the Mayan Ruins in the northern regions. You can also visit lake Atitilan and maybe even rediscover the extinct Atitilan Grebe. We have mild cuisine down here but we do have great cuisine and we don’t talk as fast as the Puerto Ricans. We also make great textiles by weaving and looming and we are world renowned for said textiles. We also have a lot of rich history as well. This is your very rare Guatemalan, signing off.

      @@crash_cris7602 Nah it’s fine. In Guatemala, there are so many gangs and Guerrilla fighters that any foreignersand even citizens of Guatemala have a pretty good chance of at least witnessing a shootout. When my mum adopted me, she saw a guy with a giant minigun outside of a pharmacy just so that he could protect himself and his business.
