Carnival in Rio is the most Exciting place on Earth!

Right now Rio de Janeiro is the most exciting place on the planet bar none. It is the most creative and colorful time of the year during Carnival. NYC has nothing on Rio, period, this from a die hard New Yorican, the huge and most distinct difference is how they celebrate life and art as one and as part of the cultural fabric that binds them where as here in NYC and the US it is a far cry from such celebrations of self expression without it being motivated by self serving interests or money or posturing for a position etc. Its suffice to say that after the birth of Hip Hop the US even Europe has not produced any relevant culture or original idea, this is something I will address at length in the future, this is why we need to look outside of ourselves to renew our enthusiasm for what the purpose of creativity can serve as a collective cultural movement and celebration.
