    I’m sure you will have a great time in El Salvador. My brother in law is from there. Things weren’t good there when he came to the US as a kid. I hear it’s improved tremendously. You must have really loved Guatemala if you stayed there for two months. 👍24

    Those fireworks must somehow be related to the Spanish past: same thing in Southern Italy, a former Spanish colony. But what a trip, 2 months in Guatemala or anywhere else overseas is quite a luxury

    Happy Holidays, Matt!
    I am sorry that you experienced fewer hrs of sleep.
    Hmm..Who spend money to shoot fireworks?
    I guess it is one of diversity we may not comprehend/get used to..
    If there is not much entertainment, it will the result for their boredom ? Or frustration for stacking this city? I am not sure about it behind their dark eyes.
    The town seems exhausted as you leaving Guatemala even though you may enjoy spending time with local individuals.
    How was the internet situation at Guatemala City?
    I was mesmerized by the bus driver's guidance. So true, so kind.
    Wow...I would be scared crossing borders. A family friend of mine, a successful prosthetist from Ecuador, he mention about kidnappings. He only takes his team with black hair and black eyes to avoid that kind of incidents.
    Well done. Matt. Happy Holidays. I am proud of you and your channel's success through the year and more prosperity to come..
    Wish me luck not getting sick at Costa Rica even for a short journey. Apologies for my belated comment for your next film. I will be off-grid.

    Great video Matt, I see that was a confortable trip on bus. Very good recommendations from the bus driver to people for crossing into El Salvador. The discoverer of America is not Cristobal Colón or Christopher Columbus, the real name according to his country of birth (Italy) was Cristoforo Colombo, but since he provided services for Spain, the kings called him Cristobal Colón, It was easier to call him that way in Spanish. Stop eating junk food hahaha, you should eat a good steak . Greetings from Argentina , have a wonderful week

    • @no_soy_rubio
      @no_soy_rubio  5 часов назад

      @SergioElCoyote-Futbol actually his name is believed by more historians now to have been Cristoffa Corombo, as per his native language Genovese, not Italian. But Cristobal Colón in Spanish. Hahha yes unfortunately this is not Argentina with good steak and wine everywhere 🤣

    From what I’ve seen it’s not the cheapest place to visit and mostly Americans that visit which up your video backed up. However I’m sure you’ll find interesting things to to. I’m off to Thailand for a few weeks very soon, the weather has beaten me 🙃🍄

      San Salvador and the popular beaches (El Tunco) aren't cheap but the rest of the country is. I got a great deal on a hotel in Suchitoto - great location, a/c, smart TV with all the sports channels, hot shower, decent breakfast, for only $20 p/n! Haaha enjoy Thailand and all the delicious food! 🍄

    What a nice bus driver!! Bukele I read has worked wonders dismantling the gang culture - although one wonders if it’s still lurking. He’s clearly someone who thinks outside of the box. Be interesting to hear what Salvadorians make of his impact and whether his adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender has generated the miracle dividends for the Salvadoran economy.

    • @no_soy_rubio
      @no_soy_rubio  14 часов назад

      Yes, definitely a nicer bus driver than most! From the Salvadorans I've spoken to, the vast majority are in favour of Bukele (and in the comments of other videos I've made) although I've spoken to one or two who have said some negative things about innocent prisoners and human rights abuses. As for Bitcoin I don't know, it all seems to have gone a bit quiet on that front!
