Carnival: The funniest party around the world!

                Carnival is the most popular parties in Brazil. We, Brazilians, tend to say that "the year doesn't REALLY start until after carnival"!

             It’s a very important period of our calendar, and we have a full week to celebrate and rest (at least for most of us, because some people go back to their jobs on Wednesday). This year Carnival is going to be starting on 02/28. 

But you might be wondering right now: What is carnaval? What kind of party is it and What do people do?

Well, my dears, carnival is possibility one of the most fun & funniest party in the world! People buy costumes, dress up and go out celebrating. 

              In Rio, for example, we have two kinds of parties: one on the street, that we call “Blocos de Rua":

                                                                      Fun, fun, fun!!

On the “Blocos” we have trios elétricos, with a looooooooot of music. GOOD MUSIC, people. You.just.can’t.stand.still. It’s impossible!!

      And the other famous party in Rio is on the “Sapucaí: 

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!

Every year a lot of famous people around the world come to Brazil to enjoy this magical party:

Will Smith

Pamela Anderson

Jennifer Lopez

Madonna

Megan Fox and Rodrigo Santoro

On the Sapucaí, people watch the Samba schools passing through the avenue, and, it’s magical!! So many beautiful clothes, a lot of vibrancy, everything is so glorious!

 And the women, that are in the parade, have bodies that make us want to cry and run to the gym fast!!!! lol

WHERE IS THE NEAREST GYM?!!!!

There are, in other cities of Brazil, differents kinds of Carnival, like in Bahia, Olinda, etc...
   The one in Bahia is absolutely funny!!!! People go crazy!! Singers sing for a thousands of people on the street:

Ivete Sangalo is one of the most popular singer in Brazil! She is a great entertainer!!!

Those cars/trucks are called "Trio Elétrico":

Look at the number of people!!!

Doesn't Carnival sound like an amazing party??

  You know what they say, right? You only live once, and you can't live a life that's full if you've never been in Brazil on Carnival at least once in your life!
