My Carnival vacations…

 

Hi again people!

Well, my Carnival vacations weren't exactly the most "active" ones, but they were fun.

I went to a friend's country house, actually he has a blog too, Philippe, near Juquitiba city. We were 4 friend's there, and we spent all five day there.

We arrived on Friday night, around 20h, so that day we didn't have much time to do anything. We played some ping-pong, had dinner and went to bed. The next day we got up around 13h, had breakfast and went to the pool. We had lunch and played "War". We played some soccer and some football and played "Perfil", a Quiz game. The other days were pretty much the same, except for Tuesday, when we went to the river to swim (I didn't get in because I was tired of swimming already ). On Wednesday, we started our trip back around noon, and we arived at São Paulo around 13h40, on time to watch the second half of the match Brazil x Russia.

For me Carnival doesn't mean much, except 5 days of vacation . On the other hand, for almost all the other Brazilians it is one of the most important holidays. For me it doesn't mean much because I don't see a true meaning behind it, it's not a holiday to spend with your family (as Christmas for example), it's not a holiday to think about your plans (as is New Year's Eve), you don't get any presents … I also think that the parades are boring, they all look alike and they don't have a purpose either, it's just a bunch of people dancing and singing some bad music…

About the pictures: On the left we have the flag of the city of Juquitiba and on the right we have a picture of the parade done by the school "Beija-Flor", one of the most famous ones in Brazil.

Well, that pretty much does it.

See Ya!
