Sao Paulo, Brazil

- Violence: it is not uncommon to hear a friend that was robbed and it is very common to see news of drug trafficking, murder and other crimes: who lives here is usually afraid of violence;

- Public Healthcare is far from being good, although it is free to use (it is maintained by taxes), waiting list to see a doctor or to do an exam usually takes months. Whoever can afford a health insurance usually does;

- Public Transportation: although expensive, metro is reliable most of the time but buses aren't.

- Housing prices: it is very expensive to live near where you work (if you work on the major business districts);
