What main languages are spoken here?:

Spanish is the main language spoken here, but there are also a few areas where people speak the native language to El Salvador, náhuatl. Much of the native population has died out, so náhuatl is slowly becoming harder to learn, as not very many people speak the language anymore. 

What type of money is used here?:

They use the U.S. dollar in El Salvador! They used to use the colón, but they switched to the U.S. dollar in 2001, and many have said that this switch was not good for El Salvador's economy. We'll look into this later!  

How much does a bottle of water cost?:

A liter of water costs about 80 cents. How much does a liter of water cost in Brooklyn?

What was the best meal this week?:

Probably the pupusas and atol shucho that I had this week! Have you ever had these foods? If not, that's okay! We'll explore more into what these two things are later during our journey. 

What music did I listen to this week?:

Well, this week was pretty special because I had a solo concert in a church called La Iglesia el Rosario, a jazz night on Thursday, and a show this past saturday with the band that I'm in, called Camelo, which is a pop-funk band. So I listened to classical, jazz and pop-funk!
