Mardi Gras

This year Mardi Gras was teh best! Actually It was my first celebrated Mardi Gras but It was Awesome! It was like cloudy and a chance of raining beads! The rain didn't stop the passion of Lafayette. For those who don't know what Mardi Gras is, let me fill you in real quick.

So basically on 8th March, a parade will be going on where beads and presents are give away when the parade cars pass by. I took a hard hit on my forehead with the beads they thrown, my head felt dizzy and my tears filled up my eyes. It happens when the guy stood next to me grabbed the tail of the beads and the other ends bounce towards me! Still, I get to keep the beads. Yeah!

Oh they also have this delicious King Cake that basically a large piece of doughnut. Choices are original dough, cream cheese and chocolate fills. I'll say go for chocolate-filled King Cake! Somehow, the decorative baby sitting on the cake creeps me out. Whoever that 'ate' the baby had to buy the next King Cake as the tradition goes. (Provided that the person survived the choke!)

The parade was a sight to see, people were dancing to the beats and indulged in every moment of joys. To conclude what Mardi Gras really is, well, It was obviously a plain excuse made up for party and booze. I wish someday I can join the party in New Orleans cuz it was widely celebrate there, which means more party and more booze! LOL.. I had a lot of fun in the parade today, my family and I left the dirty parade routes after 5 hours of craziness and we went home with a big bag of beads and prizes. Of course, a satisfied smile on my face. =)

Will we need a holiday like this? Yes!!!
