The Leicester Caribbean Carnival

Everyday, I walk though the Victoria Park to go to the univ.  The park is a public park of 69 acres (279,000 m²), and have various sports facilities, including tennis, basketball, ultimate Frisbee, bowls, croquet, football, cricket and skate park.  ( http://www.leicester.gov.uk/your-council-services/lc/parks-green-spaces/main-parks/victoria-park/victoriapark/ )We can enjoy taking a walk and watching birds and squirrels on the wide lawn and besides trees.  On the 6th of August, the landscape was changed further because the Caribbean Carnival was held by the city council ( http://www.leicester.gov.uk/your-council-services/lc/events/major-events/leicester-caribbean-carnival/ ).  It had the majority of traveling carnival, and Caribbean food stalls, and we can had a good time to see the parade and music of the Caribbean.  Today, I could understand a little about Leicester as a multicultural city where people from many different backgrounds live here and, for the most part, they get along with each other well.

Thank you for your reading to the end.
