And I should know what I'm talking about because I was born in one of those hispanic shitholes... unlike most people here who's never seen a latin american slum in their whole lives.
You guys give too much credit to a mere piece of paper...
Pieces of paper are good for... you know what.
I have been to all the above mentioned countries and while they are third world countries they are not the 'shithole' you make them out to be, except Haiti which was a shithole before the quake and will be a shithole until the the end of time.
If it wasn't for the crime going on in Guatemala and Columbia they could be real nice places to visit. I never saw any real crime in Bolivia and have been to all most every major city there. Cochabamba is trip any should take to see the real Andre's people and Santa Cruz and Sucre are typical South American cities with a lot of history. La Pas if it wasn't for the altitude would be another great place to spend some time. Bogota, if it wasn't for the crime and drugs could be a very nice place to visit as there are a lot of great attractions. Same goes for Guatemala and most of the other Central American countries. Costa Rica is the exception and would go back in a New York minute.
