The city is in a dire state. Violence is rampant and Sergio Cabral (our mayor...) is known to be nothing short of a bandit...But we keep our hopes up. It is such a beatiful city and most of the people is quite nice indeed. But the most important work to be done is actually to elect good people to key posts. And that is somenthing that is not going to happen anytime soon (next election: november 2008)

This article makes Rio sound like a scary place. I wanted to go there on Vacation sometime soon, but I may hold off now until it gets cleaned up...
The wealth they make off of oil should help revitalize the region though... just like we need in the USA
