It's really amazing how all the standard values are "inversed" during that brief period of time called Carnaval in Brazil.
It's fun to be (or dress up as) outcasts and prostitutes. It's cool to sleep during the day and stay up all night long. (Actually, it's a nonstop party, starting early in the morning with the Street Parades and moving on to the Samba School Parades which goes on till sunrise.)
It's ok to close down otherwise crowded business streets to give room to the Parades. It's nice to talk nonsense all the time and to keep on laughing for 4 days in a row.
It's Carnival!
Carpe Diem,
