A journey on a chicken bus (aka, old American school bus) on the way from Marcala, Honduras to Perquin, El Salvador with a broken suspension and an unexpected stop.

  • Took the good bus on this trip, but we've taken lots of the kind in this video too. I gotta say about the people in Central america....they can fix anything. lol

  • @gtaichung I didn't know they offered a "good bus" option for this trip!

  • @umarket Sorry misread your description. We took the Tica bus From San Salvador through Honduras to NIcaragua, it was 30$.

  • @gtaichung I see. No worries. Border crossings are fun no matter where and which one.

  • Hahaha. I had many of those road trips, since I'm from El Salvador. Thanks for checking out my country. Did you guys make it to the city?

  • @Yenypm Cool. We had a couple of meals in San Salvador and poked around, but didn't stay overnight. No need to thank us. We're glad we went. Good people, El Salvador.  By the way, Google "images of today's el salvador". The first entry should be an article that we wrote on our website Uncornered Market about El Salvador. I think you might like it.

  • @umarket *whiteboyvoice* "oh and the rancherass are back on, thats bus fixin music if iver ever heard it" ahahaha ah man i miss my country.

  • @GregLA818 Glad you enjoyed it. The whole situation was simple, yet incredible. Everyday sort of breakdown, then tying up the suspension with chunks of wood and chains. Fortunately, most of the buses we took in Central America, while crumbling, didn't actually break down.

  • Like it how the guys were able to fix the bus right on the road without having to take it to a mechanic or something. Overall enjoyed the video, thanks for posting. It truly gives me the feel of how people in Central America cope with every day situations they encounter.

  • @MARIOlS23 Glad you liked it! It was quite a journey.
