Carnaval vs Stampede

This place reminds me of Stampede in many ways!

1. Noone really works during the party event.
2. You have all sorts of people in town.
3. Things get much more expensive.
4. People like to drink.
5. People like to drink alot.

Big difference is that this city has about 7 million people and people come from all over the world for this big party in Rio.

Another difference is that you need to speak Portuguese to get what you really want.

Pointing to things and smiling/nodding can also help.
