In Spain, the carnival is very typical. We wear fancy dress. We wear funny masks and we eat sweet cakes. There is a king of the carnival called "Carnestoltes''. There is always music and a parade!
I celebrate carnival and mummy makes lovely costumes. I was an astraunat andill moon cheese monster. the costumes are very colourful. I have a carnival party at school every year. I have 3 days off and mummy takes me to the city to see the floats. There will be plenty of music and dance and food.

I celebrate Carnival at school playing in my fancy-dress costume and eating special food. We eat snacks like "Orejas" and pancakes. "Orejas" is a special recipe from Galicia, Spain and you need flour, eggs, water with salt, sugar, butter, aniseed and baking powder. I love "orejas" ! This year I'm wearing a Dark Vader fancy-dress costume. We have three days off school. In my city, in Vigo, we go to the streets and wear our fancy dresses and play with other boys and girls.

Hi Yellow Fairy Ring,
There are lots of parties in Spain. In most cities and towns there is a 'Fiesta mayor' in the summer. This is usually a whole week of concerts and special activities. In my village we have concerts and parties in the square every evening, and in the daytime there are activities for everyone, children, adults and old people. It's good fun!
What do you do to celebrate the Charity Escapade? That sounds like fun, and you raise money too. I like the idea!
Best wishes, Miss Lucky Mouse (website editor)

I'm Gabriela, and I live in Brazil!
My carnival usually is boring (ý) I stay at home watching the Rio de Janeiro carnival! I like Unidos da Tijuca and Grande Rio. This year, who won was Beija Flor, they were very beautiful, talking about "the king", Roberto Carlos.
On the tuesday of carnival, I went to the matinee because I'm not old enough to go on carnival night D: yeah, this is sad!
But still I had fun with my friends. ;]
Kisses for everybody, *o*
