How perfect would that be right now?! Instead, I am stuck here studying. All I can do right now is look at beautiful pictures of mine from Mexico. I would do anything right now to end up there again. As soon as you land at the airport you feel carefree and ten times happier. It is so nice to get away from a noisy city life to somewhere so wonderful and peaceful.

Need a Vacation
University is extremely stressful right now. Looking back at all these carnivals, I realized that I need a vacation. Somewhere hot and tropical, laying on a beach, listening to the sound of waves...

Holland Carnival
The Holland Carnival happens in the south part of Holland. The carnival takes place in February and many people from the northern part of Holland travel to the south.
During that time people in the south party for as long as 3 days during days and nights. The partying happens on the streets where everyone goes out and meets each other. A bunch of drinking happens during these three days. People go from pub to pub dancing and celebrating the old tradition.
The old tradition is that the Carnival celebrations start after the mayor symbolically hands over the key to the city to Prince Carnival. For three days, the Carnival Prince has control of the city and, together with his subjects, celebrates the temporary establishment of their Kingdom of Fools. Merrymakers make their way from pub to pub and greet Prince Carnival with three cheers of “Alaaf”.
I mean, who doesn't want to forget about work for three days and all of the current responsibilities?! That would be awesome! Dressing up in the most colourful and crazy clothes and drinking beer all day and night. Using your dancing skills as your exercise for three days. Life would be heavenly!
Now let's all pack our bags and somehow end up in Holland in February 2014.

Notting Hill Carnival
The Notting Hill Carnival is the biggest carnival in all of Europe! It happens every Bank Holiday in London. The tradition began with Afro-caribbean communities who celebrated their traditional holidays on the streets of London. The holidays were much about being let free from slavery.
The carnival has many traditional caribbean foods that anyone can enjoy.
I love Caribbean culture and always wanted to learn more about it. I feel like making a trip to this carnival will be a huge learning experience that I would remember for a lifetime! Being a part of Caribbean culture for couple days will be a dream come true. The people are so welcoming and nice that it is impossible not to fall in love with them and their culture.
This is another carnival that is on my bucket list that I want to visit!
