What is life like as an expat in your area?

When we asked people living abroad what life is like in their areas and how people spend their time, they said...

"Nejapa is in the suburbs of San Salvador. Most the people that have work go to San Salvador around 7 am and return around 7 pm. The town is quite around 9 pm. There are over 30K residents. The large population during the day are the students. School start at 7 am and ends around noon for half the students while the another half of the students start at 1 pm and end around 5:30pm. Cyber cafes are the popular places to hang out. Discos are not encouraged because of drugs and gangs. Pupusas are the favorite meal consumed and eating times are sacred. Soccer is very popular for the men. Softball is popular for the women and the gay population. There is a large church community and a snall farmer's market near the City Hall and Catholic Church," remarked another expat who made the move to Nejapa, El Salvador.

"Life for expats and digital nomads in El Salvador is generally quite pleasant. The country is known for its friendly people, beautiful beaches, and vibrant culture.
