I’ve just been today (Monday the 9th of November) in the morning at the government office and got my passport back. My tourist visa got extended until the 15th of December 2009. As I already bought my flight for the 8th of December, it looks like everything will work out perfect! =)
I’m currently couch surfing at my friend’s Javier flat in one of the safest (or THE safest) part of the city San Salvador!
I’ve already had some very nice and interesting conservation with Javier! He started about 1 1/2 years ago his own company, which basically imports and exports in whole Central America materials to build houses.
At the moment my friend Blair from Canada, which I met couple of days ago at Amado’s place, and myself are working to manage our way to Honduras. Blair already travelled a lot around the world and I’m sure, travelling together will be much fun, ! =)
If everything goes right, we will leave tomorrow at 11am with the bus into the direction of Honduras! =D
During the past days it rained a lot over here. I was already close to call it UK-rain, but if I remember back … the UK is still one step extremer! =b
As I read in the news, already 124 death people have been counted in El Salvador by this time. Still they are missing a lot of people and many thousand people lost their homes.
All this only reaches me at the moment over the news. I the city I’ve only seen at some point tiny lakes on couple of street crossings.
Basically the problem is, that El Salvador has a lot of mountains and people build there houses there. When such much rain comes, like it happened during the past days, the earth get flushed down the mountains and takes everything around with it. Combined with the fact, that many houses over here are not very solid constructed. Many times it’s just 4 walls build out of wood or a thin steelplate.
Gladfully it now stopped to rain and hopefully will stay like this!
I will try to keep you up-to-date, which turns out to be now much more complicated, as I’m travelling without any mobile Internet-tool …
Until my way to Finland, I always been able to publish news over my iPhone.
