Having lived in the area for a couple of years now, i finally checked out carnival for the first time this year, and found it wholly depressing.
As a local its kinda difficult to watch a million people turn up and trash your neighbourhood then fuck off without a blink of an eyelid. The mountains of litter, rivers of piss running through the gutters and all local business' that arent selling their toilets barricaded up as if a hurricane is on the way, kinda overshadowed the (very few) decent soundsystems I came across. You'd have thought that after all these years they would have developed the infrastructure to deal with the people, but it simply isnt there.
Bleak.
