MY CARNIVAL

This year for carnaval, I didn't go out, because I was very ill. But I am going to explain you what I did two years ago.

I went with my friends and my classmates Joan and Bernat to see the different parades that there were. We dressed up as Goku and we went to the Rambla. We stayed there still the parades finished, After we talked a lot with people we knew and stayed there having good time. We said that for us the carnival of 2015 was the best carnival that we have ever seen, all the costumes were very originals. All the people were very pretty and it was a very god experience.

My best carnival

      I am a person who doesn't like very much carnival, but this doesn't mean that I don't have a good memories of one carnival, I had 13 years old (2014), when I went out with Marina, her costume was a chenese woman and my costume was a sheep. I remember that she wore a red lips and a monkey in her head. Her dress was red with a black details. My costume was like a white jumpsuit and a hood with the ears.
     We met in the Pere Martell street and we went to the Rambla, and then we saw Gemma  and Minerva, we were talking when we saw a group of persons dressed like the supernenas and we took a photo with them, it was very funny.
     After it, we didn't know wher Gemma and Minerva went so we continued walking Marina and me.

Carnival... Ajam... Hum... What?

Carnival... Ajam... Hum... What?

 WOW! What colorful and funny carnival my classmates have had!

Jealous? Me? Hum... Of course not!

First af all, no, I didn't see the parades, and I don't regret it.

(What a freak you are...)

Please! I mean... I've seen them... One thousand billion one hundred thousand million and one thousand times! Okay, maybe NOT that much.

(I repeat, What a freak you are...)

Actually, I went to Barcelona, my dear and fantastic city!

(Wow! What a rebel you are! I think you begin be liked by me...)

Oh! Thanks conscience! But I didn't celebrate carnival, anyway.

(What the...hell!! You're disgusting!)

Shut up conscience, let me tell MY carnival!

(...)

Well... I went there with my parents, I've wanted to go there since.... Always! I have some friends there, who I hit it off with. In fact, I went there specially for one of them. He is such my best friend.

(Friends! Friendzone!) 

We went to his house, and chill there, all the day. We did not a big deal. And I had a really good time, more than in any parade I've gone to or that I can remember.

WHAT CAN I SAY? Not everybody likes to watch the same celebration, EVERY YEAR, feel the same pressure (and knucle under it) due to the huge multitude, listen to the same loud and awful noise (also called " carnival music") that ALWAYS sounds through the loudspeakers, and see the same music steps, danced for some bored and exhausted people who just want to stop, lay on the cold and wet road, and just have a nap. I think I prefer to take off my own eyes with a spoon, than see that panorama once again....

My conscience has warned you: I'm such a huge freak!

(I've warned you twice, guys...)

But, I must admit that It's really funny to see the strange and tricky costumes people dress up with, the smiles that hardly everybody has on, and... Well, all the good vibes you can get from the carnival night: HAPINESS WRITTEN IN ALL THE FACES!

(A little spark of normalcy from your part!

So, that's my carnival day, and my point of view about carnival fest. Sort of hoping that You've enjoyed it!

(Oh please, they didn't! You're as boring as a potato!)

Shut your mouth!!!

With love,

Shaila

(And me, her beautiful and funny conscience)

Hi! Two weeks ago it was Carnival. I was in Tarragona and in Tarragona the Carnival is incredible, the floats are so brightless and the costumes have a lot of decorations and details. I saw it from the Rambla it was full of people, allways in Carnival is full of people. There were a lot of floats that impressed me a lot, it was one of avatars, with blue painting and shoes with light, the float of Romeo an Juliet, other with a big unicorn and a girl riding it, etc. Also i saw a lot more costumes from the other people, like people dressed like animals or inspired by movies like Star Wars, Snow White, Superman... But I went early to home because it was so cold outside and then i was watching the TV and after I went to sleep, it was a busy day!

Carnival

Through all my life  I have been on many Carnival days in my city: Tarragona. Some years I went with my family, mom, dad, Robert my brother, my aunts (they weren't coming very often) and also my cousins.
This year I decided to go out with some friends but they weren't able so on Saturday afternoon I stayed home with my family watching movies on the sofa and reading a book I bought days ago.

For sure I can say that this year wasn't one on the best carnival days I have had but I also have good memories from others. Once, I was dressed with a warm and soft dalmata dog costume made by my mom and my brother was dressed up as Peter Pan with red lips.
 I can remember how overhelmed I was with so many consumes, feathers and so loud music around me. That day the weather was cold and for a second I confused the falling confetti with snow and obiously I thought it was snowing. But then I realised that it wasn't and I cried.

 I like Carnival because you can wear the most strange and unusual clothes or whatever you want and no one will care about it. Although, this should happen every day.

(I haven't found the pic of me and my brother on that Carnival day)

CARNIVAL IN VIMBODÍ I POBLET

Hey, good afternoon! We are Bernat and Joan, the twins of the class, and now we are going to explain you about our Carnival, it was the Saturday 13th of 2016. We have to admit that this weekend was amazing! We went to Vimbodí i Poblet, our town, a little village in Conca de Barberà. Our Carnival started in the afternoon, after the lunch. We met with our friends: one is from Lleida, another from Montblanc, one from Tàrrega, from Barcelona... and the other friends, obviously, are from Vimbodí! They are spectacular! First, we went to the bar to play table football and watch a football match in the TV. After, we went to the street two hours more or less. We went to have dinner in the house of a friend, we ate pizza and later we ate a cake to celebrate our birthday that was two weeks before. When we were ready, we put the disguises. We were a banana for a day!

Later, we went to the pavillion, to the party. At first, we danced a song of a BANANA for a competition, it was very very funny! But we didn't win the trophy. Later, a lot of people of around Conca de Barberà were arriving to the town because the party were starting...! We met with our friends of Espluga de Francolí and we went to the party, there were two DJ's for all the night. Also, there were our parents and our little brother in the party! They were characters of STAR WARS! My mother and Marçal Darth Vader, and my father Chewbacca. The party ended at 5 o'clock, our friends and us went to our home to sleep, we were very tired for all this weekend!

See you soon! JOAN and BERNAT

Carnival 2016 Tarragona

In this year I only went to see the carnival one day, in Sunday. I went with two friends: Adrian and Miguel Angel. We met in front of our school at 19:00pm more or less to see the parades of Carnival. We didn't dress up with any costume, we only went to see the parades. There were lots of parades all were very colorful and with loud song for their dances. 

In this day only the best parades that walked the last day could walk another time in Sunday. All were amazing and very cool. 

The King and the Queen of last year walked in the parade of Sunday, too. When all the parades finish the hour was 23:30pm more or less, but for these parades it was worth. 

Carnival

This year for Carnvival, I dressed up of American football player. I went with my friends to see rua carnival in Tarragona, it was very cool. The coach I liked most was one that dressed up of unicorn, it was very original. We saw all the rua and then we went to dinner together. When we finished dinner, we went for a walk and we laugh a lot. This it has been the best carnival I've experienced so far.

CARNIVAL 2016

At Carnival I went with my boyfriend and his friends to buy some things to disguise. Me and my boyfriend didn’t take anything from the shop. We didn’t know what to wear so we decided to search something. We found some cat ears and tails so we dress up in black color to be cats. I bought too a black necklace and a Jingle Bell. At seven o’clock more or less we went to take place to see the parade. Later some of my boyfriend’s friends came with us to see it. It was so beautiful. A lot of people dancing with great costumes and the music was great too. My favorites disguises in the parade were the Unicorns and the Avatars. I love how did they danced and the costumes they wear.

                          

 Later, when the parade finished we were hungry so we walked through the rambla to the final of it, to eat some kebabs. My mother was waiting to me and my friend so we didn’t ate anything. But later when I arrived were my mum was, she take us to a restaurant. We had to dinner a big toast with bacon, loin and cheese. I felt bad so we went home. My friend went to home with me, but I had fever so we went to sleep.

CARNIVAL 2016

This year I went to see the carnival in Tarragona. For the first day in my life it was a really good day. It wasn't so cold or rainy as all the years. I went to Tarragona in bus at 5:30pm with three friends. I was dress up like a cow, I remember when I was 5 or 6 years my costume was like a cow, too. When we arrived, we ran to go to see the parade, there was amazing. There were a lot of people witha lotof differents costumes like Olaf from Frozen, banana, shit and more original costumes. 

It was so spectacular how was the parade. The people from the parade were very happy and funny. 

The costume from the parade that I like so much was "Avatar". I have friends that were at the parade as unicorns. Unicorns were the winners from this year! Later we went to McDonald's and we ate a lot of hamburguers. Suddenly we caught the bus at 22:00pm and we arrived at home at 22:30pm more or less, I think this year was the best carnival I have ever happened, because I could be with my friends!

Carnival.

    This year, I decided to meet with some friends and go out in Carnival. Even though, I wasn't going to dress up like anything because I've never liked costumes. The day after, a Friday, I didn't feel really well. I had a little bit of fever and migraine, but I didn't pay much attention to it. Without realising I fell asleep on the sofa from 7PM to 9PM. That's really strange for me, because I never take a nap. 

    The day after, Saturday (the day I had agreed to meet), I felt much worse.  I had high fever and I thought I could have catched the flu. I woke up at 9, had breakfast, went for a walk and took a picture of the sea. It was really beautiful that day.

    When I returned home, my head was aching really bad, so I went to bed. All of a sudden, I fell asleep. It was 11:30AM, when I woke up it was 2PM. I still felt not okay, so I decided to stay at home. 

    Even this year's carnival was kind of a disaster, I have had some pretty good ones. I have dressed up as Minnie Mouse, a bee, the Sleeping Beauty, princess Sherezade, a musketeer  and a geisha. My mother loves dressing up, she likes it better than me. One year, she dressed up as a pirate. We didn't have any parrrot to put on her shoulder, so she attached a plush toy of Gallo Claudio to the costume. That was a really funny carnival.
