Chile - all ways unpleasantly surprising.
I just wrote about taht in my blog Tomas Bradanovic: El asesinato de ValparaĂso 
Malparaiso didn’t just get a bad review.
Malpo IS a bad review.
Its curious how Chileans nostalgically look back to some sort of “Golden Age” that used to exist in Valpo.
But we visited the place - once - in 1991, and saw similar conditions then as now. The only difference being that the smell of dope was absent, but the omnipresent stink of piss and the abundance of up-to-nogooders, was the same, By all accounts conditions seem to have got much worse since then.
We stayed there for two days and never went back.
The street dogs are now helping to fight crime there!
Perro Matamalos.
