Folha TV has an interesting report on the current state of Salvador where they speak of its deterioration and criminality. I’ve heard this time and time again in recent years, from tourists who have gone there, gringos who have lived there, as well as from long-time ‘native’ residents. It really is unfortunate because, if done right, the city could rival Rio de Janeiro, in my opinion.
Skip to minute 6:00 and watch until 11:40 for the report in question (in PT).
E verdade. Eu adoro Salvador, meu coracao ta la, mas nunca poderia morar la com essa perigosa.. Nunca sentiu segura la.
