Looks like I left the last country just in time.  Some of those riot images are places I was walking through & reading in a couple of weeks ago.  Some interesting goings-on near the end sugggested to the (perhaps overly imaginative) observer that it might not be the best time for an American to be wandering around.  And the rooms were very bad.  But a decent, prosperous, and hospitable country (with reasonably priced Starbucks coffee--like NYC in the early aughts).  And the capital of the old Republic.  Listened to the live Bayreuth stream of Rheingold (from a Sbux) while watching night fall on the legislature's building, and the lights come on.  Bit magical.

Like every country, its problems are its own, and should be sorted by the folks with a legitimate interest in the matter.  #primedirective
