go to Carnival in Rio

came so close but it didn’t happen. annoying circumstance but wierdly i’m not as cut as i thought i would be, just because in place of that i got to spend quality time with my cousins (some of my most favourite and far-way people in the world) when we all least expected it. but the offer is there for this year only i’m on the jessup moot team and have to work all summer.

I’ve been to three Carnivals in my life. First ro when i was thirteen, once to Cologne when i was nineteen (don’t bother- it’s rubbish) and one to Notting Hill (okay but not with kids, too hectic).

If you ever get the chance to go to Rio Carnival then do it, but don’t go when you are thirteen like me (we lived there)- it’s an adult thing. Wish i could back now and appreciate it more.

If you love Samba then go and dance all week!

Carnival in Rio is great – but there is carnival in almost places at Brazil. I spent several carnivals in Rio, cause my father born at Rio and I have a lot of family there. I want to spend a carnival in Salvador, Bahia, seems to be much more interesting than Rio cause is a “street carnival” – Rio’s carnival have the famous “parade” but most parties happens in closed places like clubs and not at the streets – and starts in january, not only at the “Mardi Gras” week, like in Rio. Bahia carnival is a non-stop party until the Mardi Gras day.
