Recently, I interviewed the "Bahamianista" Crista Strachan about Carnival and covered many issues like:

How To Budget For Carnival
Crista's Personal budget for Trinidad Carnival
How To Handle Being A Carnival and Soca Junkie

How To Adopt A Soca Junkie Lifestyle
What It Was Like To Trow a Wine On Olympic Champion and World Champion Usain Bolt
Crista's First Carnival Disaster in Trinidad in 2012 and much more
The Savings Plan That Both of Us Use And The EXACT Online Banking System That We Use
The other smaller carnivals that Crista does along with Trinidad Carnival
How To Balance Carnival Life with "Real Life"

I covered all of these things in Part One of her interview with me. 



This is Part Two.... and in Part Two we covered:
  1. The Bahamas Junkanoo Tradition and How Important It Is To Bahamians
  2. Fashion and Making Costumes
  3. Monday Mas Wear, Costume Customization and Her Secret Weapon For Carnival Design iWillDesigns
  4. Boxing Day and New Years In the Bahamas
  5. Her Personal Feelings On The 2015 Bahamas Junkanoo Carnival
  6. What Crista Like Better Trinidad Carnival or Junkanoo Celebrations Like Boxing Day (you'll be surprised by her answer)
  7. Understanding "PACE"

It is the desire of TriniJungleJuice.com and The Carnival Doctor to get a ground level and grassroots approach to Carnival. For us to have you, not only get a feel for Carnival, but also a feel for the people that attend carnival. Behind every picture and video is a story but the story that you make up in your mind is not necessarily the truth.  After all the jumping up, and winin' and bacchanal is done -- we all have real lives to return to. It is our desire for you to know the other people that you share the carnival community with.

Love, Peace and Soca.
