Botafogo es el barrio donde he estado viviendo mis primeros días en esta ciudad. También es donde se encuentra mi trabajo y, por lo tanto, donde voy a pasar una parte importante de mi tiempo aquí. Lo primero que pensé cuando aterricé aquí es que esto es una mezcla entre La Habana y el Bronx de Nueva York, aunque reconozco que le estoy cogiendo el punto y no me importaría instalarme aquí.
De hecho, no me importaría instalarme en cualquier sitio, ya que dentro de cinco días me puedo convertir en un homeless en Río de Janeiro, y la verdad que la idea no resulta demasiado apetecible, para que engañarnos....
Presidiendo el barrio, la Praia de Botafogo y, al fondo, el mítico Pao de Açucar....

Details of the Last Hours: At around 2 am, while the martyr’s father was entering his house, Israeli f-16 aircrafts aimed at their house with a raid of 3 missiles. This totally destroyed the house that tumbled over the heads of its inhabitants. The martyr – 2 years old – died with 13 members of the family that was comprised of a father, four wives, and seven brother and sisters. Only three brothers, who were not at the house during the raid, survived the bombing. The martyr and his family were picked up from under the rubble. Dr. Mu`awiya Hassanein said that most of the family members were in fragments due to the violence of the raid. More than ten thousand people joined the funeral of the martyr and his family the following day.
