Settlement

San Salvador is the capital of El Salvador a town where I was born and lived for almost 35 years of my life but now I live in a small town called London in the province of Ontario, Canada. I would like to talk about both cities because the two are very different but these cities have enriched my life, I would like to speak first of San Salvador and then London.

San Salvador, the city where I was born and grew up, is famous for its modern shopping malls, more than any other city in Central America. A selection of the best malls in San Salvador includes Multiplaza, Galerias, Metrocentro, Gran Via and El Paseo shopping center. Ilopango markets east of the city center are the best place in San Salvador to shop for handicrafts and products of local artisans, along with the Artisans Market near the Zone Rosa.

In San Salvador we have a lot of good restaurants serving traditional dishes from our kitchen of origin and other international dishes stand our excellent creole dish pupusas that enchants children and adults. My favorite restaurant in which the Salvadoran cuisine reflects is "MARGOT RESTAURANT" all dishes are prepared with recipes passed down from generation to generation and their food is still very traditional. This restaurant will enjoy the best the El Salvador Restaurant has to offer in terms of traditional food. I would like to mention that here in London I have found an excellent restaurant serving traditional Salvadoran food called "LO NUESTRO". My family and I have visited this restaurant regularly because they serve excellent traditional Salvadoran food.

London is a great place to live, because we have everything necessary to get ahead, it is safe to raise a family, not much crime and if you want to stay away from a big city like Toronto, then you can live here only two hours away from the big city. We are also very close to the US border just an hour you can reach Michigan and western New York in three hours. We are also surrounded by the five Great Lakes. You cannot go much further south in Canada than in London.

There is also one thing about our beautiful city, which is known as the city of forests. London is also known to be home to institutes world-renowned higher education and is regarded as a center of educational excellence. Western University attracts students and teachers around the world. Ivey Business School located in the Western University remains the preeminent business school in Canada and is known worldwide.

Both cities are wonderful to live with their pros and cons. but in this essay I wanted to highlight the good things from both cities. On another occasion at another time I will speak of what I do not like about these cities.
