I hate tours... ouesty 31-01-2006, 21:32 i highlyh recommend the brazilian movie "city of god" which focuses of the stories and life in the favelas.. watch it b4 you go...\ it's oneof my favourite movies. digdoi 01-02-2006, 12:22 I would love to, but seems a bit dangerous (specialy with the kids!!)
