Be fun and show your traditions in your country no matter where you guys are from have fun! I know most of you guys are all a fun and multiculteral bunch of sacks, And I just wanted to show you what we do in Brazil in carnivals hehe This year it will be attending on the March .This party has its origins in ancient Greece and Rome celebrations. Later, it was incorporated into the Catholic liturgical calendar and allowed until the Ash Wednesday. By the Catholic Calendar, Carnival is always celebrated seven Sundays before the Sunday of Easter. As this varies from March 22nd to April 25th, the Carnival dates also move.

Carnival in Rio get started after the city mayor hands the key to Rei Momo (king Momo), the lord of Misrule and Revelry, a ceremony hold usually at Friday evening. So if you want to make the most of Rio Carnival you can't miss the first night of this intense party!

These are some photos and creative costume's that we come up with


By the end of this time this thread will be filled with different colours/ colors and traditions please also show me your pictures of your country

Just some advice there isn't usually any need to double post you can just edit the original post.

Anyway back on topic..I probably won't share anything as it will be boring and generic but interesting idea for a thread.

The carnival sounds pretty nice.

The Country is quite beautiful - it's just a shame about all the Scottish people living here.

First up, Egypt is not the only place with piramids;
http://www.samaelgnosis.net/imagenes/antropologia/teotihuacan/PIRAMIDESOL2.jpg
Those are the Sun and Moon pyramids. (So animeish...)
Now, here?s a photo of one of my favorite foods:
http://recetasdecocinablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/enchiladas-mexicanas.jpg
Enchiladas! they are tortillas filled with meat or chicken and dressed with a special sauce, cheese, cream and sometimes lettuce.
If you did not know, in M?xico we do not buy tortillas at the market, we buy them in a small store, and they are not in a box and are not crunchy, they are wrapped in paper and are really soft.
And finally, declared the world?s most beautiful flag! (Really!) The M?xico flag!
http://www.grito-independencia-mexico.com/images/bandera-mexico.gif
More info about M?xico: The Spanish came to M?xico a looooooooong time ago, because of their white skin and blond hair we tougth they were gods...
When we made peace, the Spanish had child with the Mexican, that?s how the mixture was born.
the eagle in the middle is because the gods told the Mexican their place was where they should find an eagle eating a snake on a cactus, and they found it!
The Spanish said: New Spain
The Native said: M?xico.
That?s all! My true colors!

I'm all the colors of the rainbow! The Red White and Blue Stars and Stripes! But anyways, Florida! We have bipolar, indecisive whether anyone could be proud of! One day it's 32 degrees, the next it's 78! It gets so annoying! Are there any other Floridians here? Tampa, FTW! I <3 Disney World, lol! But seriously, I don't know what I hate more, the (in my opinion, seeingas I've lived here all 14 years of my life) freezing weather or the hot weather when I go to the beach every freakin' day! I'm so tired of this! Don't ask me if that whole rainbow thing was a joke, you don't want to know....2011-02-19 03:31:00

Then buy a fighter jet if that's your issue. I recommend the F-22 (http://resistir.info/chossudovsky/imagens/f_22.jpg). You just need to sell your car, your house, your life and your pet to buy it.

If I sold my car that would save a tone of money on gas.
If I sold my house I would have no home to live in. To add to that I won't be able to play LBP.
If I sold my life how would I even be able to fly the F-22?

In a couple years, you might not have to worry about traffic.

some country made a prototype hovercraft that is supposed to be released for sale to the public in 2014. (To replace cars and whatnot)

Then you make those people stuck in traffic look like chumps as you fly away in your hovercraft
Add 10 more years and the skies will be flooded with hovercrafts.

I just found the video, apparently it's for take off in urban areas, used by rescue services, military, etc.

Now police brutality rains from the sky. ;.;


gdn, I don't think any military would allow that just yet. If it is for military use that is.
Yay! I got to ask for one of these to my superiors!
