Yesterday the Nacional Museum in Rio burned to the ground, and Im not going to be surprised if it was because of a faulty maintenance, due to lack of funding. But wait a minute...didn't we just host the 2016 Olympics and the 2014 World Soccer Cup? There was enough money to be spent on those events but not to properly maintain the oldest museum in Brazil, founded by the emperor Dom Pedro II himself? What does that say about us, Brazilians? Im deeply embarrassed, to say the least.
