Little Slum Inn


How's this for creative marketing.

Rio's slums, or favelas, are infamous for drug and gang violence. But a new hostel called "The Little Slum Inn" is attracting adventurous tourists, mainly from Germany, France and the United States, who dare to live amid the grit and poverty.


Incredible. Bring the kids. Anyway, good luck to them, it seems to be helping the neigborhood get along. Can't fault that. They're using their heads.
