You have a country that celebrates gangsterism, is incredibly corrupt and where a massive amount of its population live in poverty.  A county where shadism is routine and where you have to travel around in your bullet proof car to avoid being ransomed. The economy may have increased in size but go tell that to the people living in the favellas. .  Don't get me wrong... physically beautiful place and wonderful landscapes but I'll take boring Canada and her vistas over corruption and social ills any day. Manda Bala!
