1) The armed security guards come from the era when El Salvador was considered a very dangerous country, the same people that were in charge of keeping the country safe (certain politicians), were the same people helping crime grow because they owned or still own armed security guard companies. 2) I’ve always thrown toilet paper down the toilet, the toilet has never clogged, I guess it just depends on the amount of the paper. 3) The maid room was designed that way because the of the classist mentality some Salvadorians grew up with, not all. They believed that the “help” was just that, the help, that mentality comes from certain upper class Salvadorians that have always treated everyone as less than human, so that way of thinking trickles down to the middle class and certain working class. 4) The whole barbed wire thing comes from the civil war era, not the gang or crime era. It was a way to deter petty thieves and whenever a home owner could not afford barbed wire, they use broken bottles.
This is my first time a hear that about de maid person in El Salvador. My family was living there a lot time ago, and never had de maid person that bad way.
The thing about the maid in the laundry room is true, back in the 80s I had an aunt that worked for a wealthy family in Colonia Escalon, one time my mom and I went to drop something off to her and went into the house. They had a laundry room in the back garden separate from the house and my aunt's bed was inside it, I didn't think much of it at the time.
Good take. When I visit, my wife and I are thankful when we see armed protection, military etc. We even thank them for their service because it makes us feel safe. We don't thank US soldiers that are out in other countries bullying in the name of greed for a few and don't do anything for us.
Daniel, I'm Juliana's husband. Thanks for watching and yes, the country is safe right now and the military help the population keeping the gang members away... at least the ones that they haven't caught yet. 💪
Normal homes, even middle-class homes have a dedicated maid room with bathroom, it's usually small: just bed, TV and room for a closet, this is because they just sleep there and nothing else, they usually go to their homes over the weekends so they don't usually need a lot of commodities just to sleep Using the laundry room as the maid room, especially if it didn't had windows... that sounds like something someone without a proper room did to accommodate the person, but that sound like a trash-like person to do something like that definitely not something in our culture
juliana you and your husband whole family bien bebidos a nuestro país ahora ustedes son salvadorenos felicidades a Dios. or forget don't worry guys before it was very violent country no more with the new government things going goods
People started using barbed wire after the deportation of thousands of gangs banger from the US back in the 90's, the Salvadorian government just release them into society without any type measure to keep them under control. the security guards are like ornament, they don't really do much to stop crime or to keep a business safe, many time they are the target themselves by criminals.
Es la primera vez, que escucho decir, que las muchachas de servicio en El Salvador siempre tienen su cuarto en. La lavandería, nunca antes vi escuche tal cosa, mi familia y yo vivíamos en el Salvador, hace aproximadamente 40 años atrás, y siempre la joven de servicio de la casa tenía su cuarto normal como el los dueños de la casa. Quizá deba chequear en qué partes o departamento en El Salvador, existe tal discriminación, pues obviamente eso no es correcto, a mi manera de ver, a la persona que te ayuda o que te sirve en tu casa.
A principio de los 80 yo visite a una tia que trabajaba en la Colonia Escalon y su cama estava en el cuarto de la lavanderia, por lo menos tenia ventana.
Pero que dices? Si acá los estadounidense comen tanta azúcar en los desayunos, en las bebidas (qué solo son gaseosas en su mayoría) y lo peor es que ni es azúcar natural es más jarabe de maíz 😅.
In El Salvador nannies and maids are the upper class, nannies and maids are poorly paid and most of the time they are assigned to live in the laundry room, it is inhumane treatment for somebody who cares for you and your family .
Some are treated badly also, I had an aunt who worked as a cook for a family and she wasn't allowed to eat the food she prepared for them, she could only eat basic stuff like rice and beans and the lady checked to make sure she didn't take more than she was supposed to, they also checked her purse and bags when she was going out on her day off. She eventually went to work for a wealthy family and they enjoyed her food so much that when they left ES at the beginning of the civil war they took her with them. She ended up in Los Angeles and thanks to her most of the family now lives here.
nah.....the toilet paper is wrong, If you live in San Salvador, toilet paper goes in the toilet, perhaps you don't live in the capital and live in a rural area. Geez all these wrong generalizations, the maid room wasn't the laundry where i live, it was just a simple little room with A DOOR AND A WINDOW.........you're so wrong for generalizing when you're just arrived in a country and have experineced a tiny part of the country. How many houses did you check in san salvador, did they all have a maid's room in the laundry? Disliked this channel straigh away.
Hey, Rob! Thank you for watching. I'm Juliana's husband and we are just sharing our experience. We have toured at least 2 dozen houses (probably more) and couple of fincas, and we have lived in 4. From $3,000 high rise luxury condos in San Benito to $500 townhomes with almost no window in the suburb of Santa Tecla. Of those places only a couple had a decent maid's room. 🤷♂ And in all except the newest ones (from what they told us only houses built in the last couple of years but I don't know if that's true) you could not throw paper down the drain. I didn't want to believe it and indeed clogged 2 different houses, and we had to buy a plunger 😅 I don't know if they ask you to throw toilette paper in the basket instead of the toilette just to be safe, but I've learned not to take chances anymore 🤣 And this is not an El Salvador thing, we learned it's all Central and South America. We live in a beautiful 12 years old house now and we still cannot throw toilette paper down the drain 🤷♂ El Salvador and Salvadorans are amazing and I'm trying to have my family and friend from Italy to move here with us. ❤🇸🇻
Roberto, I'm Salvadoran. Once, I visited an aunt who worked at Colonia Escalon and her bed was in the laundry room, at least she had a window. Perhaps that's how they built houses back in the day and the newer ones are more conscious of how bad that is?
Great pointers Juliana - we found the barb wire and the toilet paper a big shock!! Also the sugar, even the bread is sweet here.
I had a watermelon juice a while ago and they put sugar in it! It's literally water and sugar already 😂

@@mariasegura8479 Well it all depends, not everyone thinks the same.

Thanks!
It depends on the amount of paper. The steps, you are right. I have never pay attention to that. 😂

@@Moneydelics Right on!
In El Salvador if you throw the toilet paper inside the toilet, it will end up in a river and then into the ocean. there are not treatment plants
Great video! True stuff 😊
Thanks for watching!
