Trouble in wonderland

"It is lamentable that this happens when we have a record number of tourists" - Cesar Maia, City Mayor.

Fortunately I was busy enjoying paradise at the time. Incidentally a week ago I visited Cidade de Deus, the slum depicted in the eponymous film. Although I didn't see any heavily armed drug traffickers the place felt just a touch more intimdating and broody that the South African townships I know.
