party

while going around mexico, i kind of got the feeling the latin americans were all in this cool fun club and they all knew how to party.
of course i have no facts and figures to back this. it is just that, well, watching them salsa and do all their other many dances, you kind of get the impression they are more relaxed and not so high strung.
i am now in brazil.
i went to the sambadrome last night and finally checked out carnaval.
while it would depend on the school presenting of course, i would say that the floats are by far the most creative and colorful that i have ever seen. the floats in mardi gras (in new orleans) are bland in comparison to the in-your-face color and vivacity of this brazilian version
