Kadooment!!!!

Monday was Kadooment. Uhm, wow is all I have to say.

There are bands, which are groups of people in colourful costumes, who assemble in the stadium and do a little show and get judged for costumes and choreography. We didn't go to that, but we did go to the parade that follows. After the stadium, the bands hit the street and travel through the streets. Each band has a music truck, one of which had two live singers which was very cool. The better bands had booze truck(s), and the really god ones had port-a-pots as well. For those that weren't fortunate enough, you ducked behind a building and did your business there. Due to the amount of booze, there was an incredibly amount of drunk people (as in being dragged along by your friends).

The dance style that seems to be preferred here can basically be called hard core bump and grind, and I'm not posting some of the more debaucherous (is that a word?) pictures.

Anyways, despite it all, it was lots of fun, great costumes and colours to be had, even if it was raining and we had to keep ducking for cover. (yes my camera survived!)
