Graffiti everywhere (but unlike Amsterdam no dog poo on the sidewalks), totally whitebread dweebs "homies hangin' tuff in da hood", gangsta rap (???) in SwissGerman etc.<br />OK, Cayenne (FG) isn't an innercity getto, but in the mean streets there (favelas included) you had to eat dindin lying down, what with the bullet hail.<br />Haven't seen any crack houses round here, figure the only crack they get to see here is of the butt variety.<br /><br />Oh well, as long as they don't trample the flowerbeds :oPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33053911.post-83474200704283085582007-01-30T09:39:00.000+01:002007-01-30T09:39:00.000+01:00So true.

But it's the best stuff to blog about!swissmisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18148758243391482706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33053911.post-55064600369014315192007-01-30T06:50:00.000+01:002007-01-30T06:50:00.000+01:00Jajajajja!

It's just shown with their pants at their knees. At least you know they are youngsters!
