1The Greatest Street Party on Earth: The Brazilian CarnivalFety an-dalambe goavana indrindra eto an-tany: Karnavala Breziliana
2A week ago today, Brazilians were waking up to enjoy the country's most celebrated annual festival: the Carnival, or rather, the biggest extravaganza on Earth that draws millions of people onto the streets of the many cities all over the country.Herinandro lasa izay, nifoha mba hankafy ny fety goavana sy manandazan'ny firenena fanao isan-taona ny vahoaka Brezilianina: ny karnavalona izany, na koa hoe, ilay fandaniana goavana eto an-tany izay misintona olona antampitrisany hivoaka an-dalambe an'ny renivotra tsirairay eran'ny firenena.
3It is one of many European imports that having mixed Native, African and European elements, have found their own flavor, colours and fame in Brazil.Anisan'ny kolotsaina Eropeana ifangaroan'ny vako-drazana izy ity, samy nahita ny embony, ny lokony sy ny lazan'I Brezil ny Afrikana sy ny Eropeana.

5The numbers for domestic and international tourism were above expectations and higher than last year's, following the trend for yearly growth.Ambony noho ny vinavina ary avo noho ny tamin'ny taona lasa ny isan'ny olona sy ny mpizaha tany, izay arahan'ny tahan'ny hari-karena isan-taona.
6It was expected that 719,000 international tourists would visit Rio de Janeiro alone (last year, there were 705,000).Novinavinaina fa ho 710 000 ny mpizaha tany mety hamangy an'I Rio de Janeiro fotsiny (tamin'ny taona lasa dia nahitana 705 000).
7And with the dollar on a high, many of the Brazilians who would normally spend their holidays abroad decided to have a carnival at home, traveling within the country.Ary noho ny taham-bola miakatra eo amin'ny vola dollar, dia ho betsaka ireo Breziliana no hanapakevitra hijanona ao an-toerana hanao karnavalo ary hivezivezy ao anatin'ny firenena ihany, raha araka ny tokony ho izy dia matetika no mandany ny fotoanany amin'ny fety any ivelany ry zareo.
8During Carnival, people dress up, indulge themselves or just take the always welcomed opportunity of time off to recharge batteries.Manao fiankanjoana ny olona mandritra ny Karnavalo, manala azy na mamahana angovo avy amin'ilay fotoana izay ekena foana hoe andro tsy fiasana ry zareo.

10It is impossible not to laugh at people's creativity when it comes to making costumes with a pinch of irreverence, sense of humour and an eye for local and international current affairs.Tsy azo antoka ny hisian'ny fihomehezana ireo famoronan-tsehatra ataon'ny olona rehefa eo anatrehan'ireo fiankanjoana tsy maontina, na endrika mahatsikaiky sy ireo jery todika mahakasika ny raharaha ao an-toerana sy iraisam-pirenena.
