Never once did I see an attractive person, they all looked like a mix of Gorillas and Cheap Asians. Not only that but there were drunken kids with crack and who knows what the fuck else(In Australia you'd never see that!).Also their soaps are like wannabe Latin Telenovels only with ugly people and cheap sets.
