Nice, but perhaps turtle should also be accepted? Not just sea turtle?

In German the species is just called "leather turtle". I was taught that turtles live in the sea and tortoises on land, so I did not think to add "sea" since I thought it'd be a pleonasm. Please accept turtle.

The leatherback is just one species of sea turtle and it doesn't necessarily have to have the word sea in it's English name either but it still is a sea turtle (Meeresschildkröte).

Never learned about the Football War until now. Apparently it started at the same time as the World Cup qualifier.

Salvadoran here.

The 1969 war was NOT caused by football.

It was tensions between both countries, including territorial disputes and migration issues.

The blame was just shifted onto the riots of overzealous fans after the football matches that conveniently happened during that moment.

Lots of sources have San Miguel as larger than Santa Ana. It's a bit awkward to ask for the 2nd biggest city and give a clue that it is a Saint when there is some ambiguity. Quite tough for this series

Bitcoin is no longer legal tender in El Salvador as of early 2025.
