San Salvador×San Juan
Three numbers. The ones that decide the meeting.
When the world meets at work.
Read the day in both zones.
Crossing the border. Money, language, plugs.
Currency is one less thing to think about — both run on the United States dollar (USD). Conversations can stay in Spanish, which is official in both countries. Cars drive on the right in both, so rentals feel familiar.
