        Except on a few neighborhoods (I’m pretty sure it’s the wealthy ones) there is not so much poop anymore. 15 years ago it was actually very anoying, you couldn’t walk without co stantly scanning the floor, which would be extremely anoying now that people what to use their phone while walking.

      It really isn’t lol. It might be the dirtiest capital city I’ve been to. Although I won’t claim to be the most travelled man in the world.

      Still a pretty place, mind you. But the shit and the rats let the place down a bit.

      Supposedly they’re actually working on upgrading the system

      So it should be improving soon even if it isn’t already
