It all started in the late 70s early 80s under the Carter administration the start of a bloody civil war that would last more than 10 years... fueled by fear of spreading Communism the US desides to back the corrupt government in there effort to crush the rebelion of students,peasants and labor unions. We the "US" sent millions of dollar in weaponds as well as "specialized" military personal... to supposedly only "train" Salvadorian armed forces. The training they administered included torture and methods of assassination; spreading terror and forcing many to flee the country. This would ensure the cooperation of the ES in future conflicts... not to mention it would keep the in our pockets... forever in debt. bla bla.. so the war ended... the US established their government... which was less the adequate to say the least... and that lead to a decade of social and economic neglect forcing many more to leave the country in search of opportunities else where. Gangs... this is a new concern now... many imigrant who fled during the war settled in the neighborhoods in and around Los Angeles... conflict with Blacks forces them into groups who would later form gangs "many with military training and scare by the horrer of combat; compliment of the US" and establish the MS... so years later the gangs become a problem... and officials diside it's best to simply deport these offenders, establashing MS gangs all over El Salvador. thanks!!! so now Present day... the country has come a long way from the shit whole the CIA made in the 80s... we have a new government, slowingly rebuilding and washing away the blood stains...things looking up... however there is still alot of deep rooted animosity towards Americans. We just don't trust them... sorry... but not all of us feel that way... by nature Salvadorains are very warm, caring and friendly people... and you can't deny... it's a beautiful country... Some advise when visitting... Be respectfull... like Cappy puts it... this is not Disney... if you go in thinking you're going in there and everyone is going kiss your ass... forget it, it's not that type of party. it's not Cancun, Miami, Puerto Vallarta, New Orleans on Mardi Gras... we don't want it to be... go in with an open mind and heart, be homble and take in as many good vibes as you can. don't be con·de·scend·ing and or judgemental... maybe some part do look like sewers but people still have to live there cause they have nowhere else to go... we have bums and slums everywhere in the states too so don't think you're the shit... don't add to the problems but try to become part of the solution... if you do so the people will welcome you and your family back with open arms and a smile time and time again cause you will be part of their family... hope this helps someone... oh yeah if you can as cappy mentioned ... take whatever preventative measures you can... better safe then sorry... ES has a very good medical system; saddly although medical care much less expensive than in the US it's still out of reach for many both in distance and preventative economically.

and you can’t deny… it’s a beautiful country…

Some advise when visitting… Be respectfull… like Cappy puts it… this is not Disney… if you go in thinking you’re going in there and everyone is going kiss your ass… forget it, it’s not that type of party. it’s not Cancun, Miami, Puerto Vallarta, New Orleans on Mardi Gras… we don’t want it to be… go in with an open mind and heart, be homble and take in as many good vibes as you can. don’t be con·de·scend·ing and or judgemental… maybe some part do look like sewers but people still have to live there cause they have nowhere else to go… we have bums and slums everywhere in the states too so don’t think you’re the shit… don’t add to the problems but try to become part of the solution… if you do so the people will welcome you and your family back with open arms and a smile time and time again cause you will be part of their family…

hope this helps someone…

oh yeah if you can as cappy mentioned … take whatever preventative measures you can… better safe then sorry… ES has a very good medical system; saddly although medical care much less expensive than in the US it’s still out of reach for many both in distance and preventative economically.

I can tell you though, as someone who has traveled extensively in Central America, it's a good idea to check with a travel medicine specialist before you head out to these places. Since you're from San Diego, I know that LEI is close by. They're not the only game in town, but I used them once before a four month Central American trip and recommend them. Doctors will prescribe the proper preventative malaria meds and any vaccinations you might need (hep A,B, yellow fever, etc. depending on where you're headed). El Salvador ain't Disneyland. We can't expect the whole world to be coated in Nerf; that's why we take precautions. Sorry about your bad experience.
