Trinidad Carnival 2018: Things I Learned

March 07, 2018

If you follow me on social media then you would know that while I was in Trinidad for my 29 days of carnival (yes, 29!) I started a nightly ritual.

Something that thousands of people tuned in every night to read. It was “Things I Learned Today”. I had NO idea how successful these mini blog posts would become so now I’m sharing them with you.

I noted things that stuck out during my day; things that I learned. For example: Emergen-C will save your life this carnival.

Simple yet relatable!

If you don’t follow me on Instagram, you should definitely do that! @azaleazoe

Here are some of the things I learned while in Trinidad for Carnival. Enjoy!

Week One:

• People in Vas got more amped when Savannah played over Soca Kingdom
• I don’t like White Oak
• Not to ever assume that I wont eat curry with my hands…even if my nails are nude. That wont stop me.

• I’m on the fence about which song I want for Road March
• I can tolerate White Oak
• It is super easy to walk/jump/skip in 6ft stilts. Or so those men made it seem tonight.
• Not to nap in between parties because I wont want to go anymore
• I might be 19 again because I've REALLY been enjoying rum and coke these days
• I LOVE Hennessy

• Machel performing Soca Kingdom without Super Blue is *eyeroll*
• After hearing Soca Kingdom performed WITH Super Blue…every pore on my body raised
• There’s a switch in my bathroom that’s supposed to give me hot water…it doesnt.
• Men ARE actually asking permission to wine. I like this.
• Murphy’s Law. Anything that can go wrong…will. BUT WE JAMMIN STILL.
• Bacchanal Road was E-P-I-C
• Soca Kingdom vs Savannah IS REAL
• I can tolerate White Oak
• This carnival is going to be AMAZING
