Jesus, no wonder about our image around there, you see videos of kids robbing people at class? its NOT that bad, seriously, I live here 24/7, I should know. You are talking about getting mugged, and you can get get mugged even in New York or Washington if you are in the wrong neighbourhood at the wrong time, thats a problem of big cities, not of southamerica. This attitude is exactly why I hate movies like City of God, they gave you the worst possible impression of the countries.
oh yes, geek on video... is not even funny :|
