Having the sketchbook and speaking Portuguese saved you. Those cartels don't mess around. My bf, a Brazilian from Rio, will not go in those parts. Taxi cab drivers are connected to those places.

It was tense, dramatic, and best of all, not prewitty. Just the facts. I'm Brazilian and I can say those people have not the guilty most of us put on them. It's the way they learn to survive, in an environment totally neglected from the local government since the 70's, that evolved in what we see today. And you were right: those guys have the best view of Rio. Good article. It was tense, dramatic, and best of all, not prewitty. Just the facts.

Gets a bit repative, and there are many more to use which would actually give a better description to the reader.

You were in my head. I'm super jealous that you can sketch what you're seeing and thinking. My notebook is embarrassing. Right the fuck on. I think that this is my favorite thing I’ve read in 2009.
