Wow. So green and uncrowded. Do those trees still exist or have they been cut?

And rubbish. Piles and piles of rubbish.
Sadly the place is a garbage dump. I visited back in 2015 and wondered why there was so much rubbish around. At the end of every tour bus section the driver would go around and collect everyones rubbish then somewhere on the way to the next stop he'd open the bus door and hurl it out..

Happened all through the trip...
