Last night I got caught up in carnival traffic jam, leading up to Ahi bar area. We had decided to park the car and walk up to las carreras to catch a few minutes of carnival de santiago. Right from first sight, it was a complete disappointment. No serious organization, no fancy lechones and no harmony. A float which was pulled by an old car breaks down in the middle of the road, thus causing the back logging of the whole carnival. The car had to be fixed in the middle of the road. Streets were full of chopos and other weird looking people from barrios. There is always an old ugly drunk doing the retarded dance with a cup full of brugal. Fat girls with tires around their bellies jumping to the same old carnival music. Even with kids present, DJ had no problem playing vulgar music on ultra loud industrial speakers "papi me duele mi papola...". I mean, how can a music of such abject vulgarity was allowed to be played in carnival where kids were present? Where were the organizers?
My final impression of carnival de santiago is quite disappointing. All I can say is the carnival is geared towards chopos and streets are owned by tigres.
