I've been to Rio. It is a third world cesspool. I imagine it is even worse during carnival.

That video looks so impressive it doesn’t look real.

i've never been but from afar, it seems like rio could legitimately be the best city in the world if you could make crime and safety a non factor

That’s the thing. Rio Carnival floats have waterfalls. They use pumps and recycle the water for the effect. NO has sparklers and beads and trashy shite.

There are so many deaths that the police don’t even count them. The scale of everything is larger. If New Orleans tried to do it that big, it would be shut down.

The floats are bigger and better because they specially built an arena (The Sambadrome) that could handle them and the marchers. I know we couldn't fit these on the street, but Canal Street could handle bigger floats.


Wait until you discover mardi gras in Galveston!

As my deceased father in law’s second Brazilian wife says about Nola Mardi Gras: “it is a joke.”

did you know Mobile was the first Mardi Gras.


It was close, then Mobile stole it. The first one was at 30.634300, -87.676592

Rio does Carnaval big. Hot take: Give me São Paulo for the nightlife.

Is that an arena that has both ends open for the parade to pass through?
