Favela chic

 
Rio certainly wasn't like this when I went all those years back, may mean its time for a revisit....

  1. so you already visited the city i live in? nice! when whas that?

    this favela was recently "pacified" (meaning that the govern and police finally managed to expel the heavily armed drug dealears from this area). if it was before, this type of iniciative would be very difficult to take place there.

    (just realized how rusty is my english =X)

  2. It was about 6 years ago that I went there. Amazing city, good that there's starting to be some progress on drug crime, I remember so pretty hairy moments when we were there...
