As like every year Belize had its carnival yesterday, many people have their opinions, some like it, some loved it, but other just don't get it anymore. The glamorous costumes, glitters the music, it all supposed to cum together and in a nut shell depict our custom and our tradition. This year was not the exception, the carnival was not short of spectators and the semi naked dancers.
I love carnival, but for the pass few years carnival is not what it use to be. Now its all about showing skin, drunken people are the dancers, people that seems that have no respect for the elderly nor the young audience; now it seems that its all about the robing of the human body against sweaty and smelly people is the new trend.When did our carnival stop bin so fun, when will we see the beauty of it again? I hope that our future festivity has much more to offer than what we presence this year.
Growing up I remember glamorous people, renounce name among the carnival crowd. They might not have bin professional dancers, but they were aware of the fact that there were small children among the spectators. I can remember the handing out of shiny necklaces, the confetti falling from the sky, and all the goodies that as a child I use to love. The costumes that were well craft and that they actually had a meaning; such as the symbol of our flag, the rain-forest, the different ethnic groups representation.
