The second day I was there the Notting Hill Carnival was on so I went to see what it was all about. It was amazing It s like a huge street party right in the middle of London. It s basically a celebration of Afro-Caribbean culture but all kinds of different people go there. There are literally hundreds of thousands of people there. Anyway everyone dresses up in outrageous costumes and dances and has a great time. I met some really nice people that day and it really helped broaden my mind. I ve been back every other year since then and always look forward to it. BarnaBy I ve been going to the Glastonbury festival in the west of England for years. It used to be really great but it s become a bit commercial now. It s got too big. Ten years ago it was much smaller and it was easier to make friends and everyone was there for the music. Nowadays everything is much more expensive and it s become ạ place people go in order to drink and take drugs. It s got more aggressive too. Things get stolen from your tent. There are more fights and there are so many people that you can t even see the stages seem to be miles away I only go out of habit now I suppose. RiCARtio Fallas is a big annual festival they hold in my home town Valencia. It s held every spring and it commemorates the patron saint of the city. Lots of people spend the whole year preparing for it. Each area raises money to build their own fallas - huge papier-mâché models - and they all spend ages making them look great. We make funny models of famous politicians footballers local celebrities that kind of thing. The festival runs all through the beginning of March and it s pretty crazy - lots of drinking hundreds of people all throwing fireworks at each other street performers and so on. Anyway on March 19th there s a huge fireworks display and then everyone burns all their models It s mad but really good fun. YasuIío .
