Trinidad Carnival 2018: Things I Learned
Posted by Azalea Hart on
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
Weeks two, three and four get a little crazy…if you want to see what transpired over those weeks. I put it into a Carnivlog. Check it out below!
