Yeah and it's enormous, so I can only speak to where I've been. But I was in a small center in 2017 and it seemed quite fine to me as well. Even last year in one smaller city it was different, but it didn't have an oppressive feel about it. I guess it's a little bit backwards and still developing in some areas, but I think that's just the reality of the largest migration in human history (from rural to urban) and the growing pains that come with that.
Although, there was an armoured police vehicle that was prominently placed, so while it felt incredibly safe to me, the long arm of the law was clearly close by.
