I have to say that what you have shown me with this and Sao Paulo should be pushed more by your government to portray the country in a better light than Rio, which to me is a city of massive contrasts from good to bad, mainly bad.
Thank you, ChrisR. Rio is beautiful too, but is need to stop with druglords and slums. Maybe the UPP (Unidade de Polícia Pacificadora) help with these problems. I waiting. 2016 is close!
Mar 22nd, 2013 - 06:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It didn't take long to destroy 14 years of Chavismo!
