(2) Carnival

March 7, 2006

Last week, it was the Carnival holiday. We had a few days to rest. I didn’t travel, but I met my friends, went shopping and indulged in my favorite past-times…
It was cool.

Here in Brasil, Carnival is a time to party. Every Samba school from the city parades with colorful costumes, and music ! Then everybody dances and laughs. For Brazlians, it is one of the best moments of the year .

The Brazilian Carnival has its origins in Portugal. There people used to throw water, eggs and flour on the others. That event had a was linked to freedom, and that feeling is still present in the Brazilian Carnival today.
