Having been there I went to the famous Club Help the next day. I left there when it was closing time as pretty much the last person. The bouncer told me to take a cab as the kids in the street would probably kill me. I was stubborn and drunk though and wanted to take the short walk to where I was staying. Very fast I was surrounded by those glue sniffing kids who started begging for money. I did not want to give them cause getting out my wallet did not seem like the smartest thing. So they started to try to help themselves to my wallet. Being very drunk I just picked up one of those kids, lifted him up and spanked him like the "naughty boy" he was. Oddly enough they left me alone after that.

Its only later in life when you realize the kind of danger you have been in. And that is a good thing cause often not realising it can actually save you.
I don't think you honestly know just how lucky you are to be alive if you wondered into a real (not the one where tourists go) Favala. Non Brazilians usually don't make it out of them alive.
