my first FAVVVYYY
hey all dear readers of this cyber underworld. I WENT TO MY FIRST FAVELA, it was monumental! There are so many stigmas and other negative ideas surrounding these housing communities, but now i see that its all just a hype, just like when they talk bad about Mexico, dont get me started, how they twist reality. anywho, many of these favelas have been pacified and so they are pretty safe and just like any other place, just filled with poor people trying to survive a day at a time. the only thing that really kinda psyched me out was all the cops at the bottom with machine guns but the residents say that that is the norm and its a way to regulate it and keep it pacified as it has been for more than a year now. The name of the favela is Vidigal and it honestly has the best view of Rio de Janeiro because it stretches up up up almost as if it reaches up to the sky! i went up on a motorcycle taxi which was also an adventure in itself!!! it was soooooo steeeep and it took forever to get to the top like ten to fifteen minutes on the back of this crazy motorcycle, holding on to dear life! i was literally praying the whole time!! we finally reached the top and seeing my friend standing there was such a sigh of relief that I had made it after all!!! we went to the same spot that Kim, Kanye and Will Smith toured and OF COURSE i pulled a Kim and was like "OMG GUYS I JUST FEEL SO BLESSED TO BE HERE" shut up kim omg. But yeah we decided we were gonna make a spoof of that another time and im gonna dress like kim and do it. lolz it was like 2 in the morning and we decided to walk all the way down and omg i was like THIS IS THE WORST CHOICE TO MAKE because we had to go down like a million stairs and my knees dont do well with going DOWN the stairs...ayyyy well NOW I KNOW. my friend is gonna move into Vidigal soon and im so excited to go back actually!!! yayyyy :)
