Oh boy....

I've visited Brazil about 10 times in the past 25 years, with many stops in Rio. The work ethic and quality of craftsmanship is absolutely appalling. Brazilians, especially those in Rio, have zero interest in working. Hanging out at the beach or ripping off tourists are the only priorities. The airport is the same old shoddy place I first flew into 25 years ago. Its a complete mess, and must be an embarrassment to the country. Traffic is insane, and I doubt the metro extension will be completed in time. I have high hopes that they can pull this off, but I'm a bit pessimistic.
