2. Why do I live where I live? -I live in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. It's a city that's been labeled by the international media as the most dangerous city in the world, and it definitively has its challenges. Although Honduras is a third world country, it also has a lot to offer; which is why I live where I live. Community: San Pedro Sula is a very small city, you could say that you know most of the people that live here. This is a positive thing because knowing the community around you helps you get around, from getting jobs to feeling safe because you know the people who surround you. Culture: Honduras is definitively rich in culture and has lots of places to explore. Its vast historic places and breathtaking landscapes are a big plus. Job Opportunities: there are a lot of different job possibilities and this also goes hand in hand with knowing the community around you, having connections. Recreation Possibilities: as I mentioned before there a lot to do in Honduras, from sightseeing, hiking, diving and all outdoor activities you can imagine to basic recreational things to do. 3. I would say it meets my ideal livability criteria to a 50% because although it has all of these great things to offer, you also have a negative side to it. The government is extremely unstable and corrupt, this leads to numerous other issues that affect the whole country. Public services are a chaos, you can only get good healthcare in private clinics, and these tend to be very expensive. Education is limited, as well as healthcare you can only get a good education in private schools and these are very expensive as well. 4. If I were to change things where I live, there would be a lot to do. I would start by making public services efficient and available to everyone. I would create more diverse job opportunities for everyone. 5. Madrid: Education, Transportation, Culture, Job Opportunities, Community.
