WITHOUT A DOUBT TRINIDAD'S CARNIVAL IS THE WORLD'S BEST

by Phyllis Thorpe

In my opinion Trinidad's Carnival is the best. Trinidad brings something new every year.
Jouvert is different to Tuesday's mas, high class steelband music, the best in soca - both for dancing and social commentary, and the numerous competitions, which are enjoyable beyond measure.
I could go on. The only negatives are 1) there is not enough international coverage, and 2) a permanent structure should be in place for spectators. Other carnivals do not have this variety.
