Yeah. Our family moved here when I was a kid though and I haven't been back since I was 10 in the 90s, but I still remember quite a bit, and obviously hear a lot from relatives. I would like to visit again as an adult, but have been putting it off for 10 years now.
It's interesting to hear how the country has changed. Car guards weren't very common when we lived there for example. Nor were electric fences. Crime was very high back then as well, but back then people had more basic security systems, and just risked it a bit more when they went out.
