Favela Rocinha 21.january.2004

Charlie and me went to a little trip to one of the biggest favelas in Rio.

In fact this morning I just wanted to pay the hostel and go to paraty, but, there was the possibility to go to a favela. It was 9.00, I wake up Charlie and told him about that. One hour later we where sitting in a cab with Alexei a friend that will be our guide. We arrived at the bottom of the favela, and jumped on a motorbicycle. The 3 motorbikes bring us to the top of this little city. Everywhere people where working arround. The electric cable where hanging in a chaotic way...
- going up with motorbike
- going by foot.
- enter houses
- meeting kids all arround
- kids and gun
- going down
- police searching us for drugs...
- back alive ...
