As far as what L posted (hey sistah )... the thing is any city looks great in longshots and lit up at night. To me, anyway.

they arrive, passport taken. money paid a fraction of what they were promised. they can't leave, because they have no money and no passport. they can't get help, because the govt doesn't care. it's disgusting. human trafficking on a grand scale....
and then there are the expats who move there, 'hire' household help, and brag about how great it is to have domestic help....that's paid a pittance, work for long hours, with no days off, beaten, abused and worse.

absolutely disgusting. you put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig.
