It's Kingston Carnival!
Jamaica?
Surrey...
Hmm. No wonder it looks so lame.
We missed the real Notting Hill Carnival last week so had to make do with this suburban alternative. It wasn't all that bad actually. Was really nice to see Kingston's diverse inhabitants get together to parade and share their many cultural customs.
Such as?
We had flamboyant costumes, g-strings, Samba and jiggling cellulite from Brazil. The Chinese did a lovely ribbon dance. There was live music from Senegal on the main stage. Bhangra and Bollywood style entertainment from the Punjabi quarter. Reggae soundsystems from the Jamaicans. Our favourites though were the Fortaleza dancers of Kingston's Bolivian community group. Their costumes were fantastic. Also, food. So much tasty food.

Great. Thanks. Bye.
