When in Manaus, the chaotic port area of Manaus Moderna is one of the first places I go. I know the people there and they know me: stevedores, boatmen and fishmongers, homeless people, beautiful freaks and alcoholics.
Despite its name, Porto da Manaus Moderna is a very neglected neighborhood.
I have been coming here for more than twenty-five years, but in all those visits I have not seen much improvement in the living conditions.
