Aaaaa....my home town!....wonderful man!.....i find it a very good idea to decentralize the Carnival.....promoting the Carnival in the rural areas like that of Brazil and San Raphael eases the major congestion of peoples that exists presently in the urban areas (Port of Spain etc...).....yes, a cool laid back Carnival ........"dat is di dam ting self!"
