Feeling:
1, the scale is only the largest of this kind of carnival art. Not as popular as the Spring Festival parade and the G King Coronation parade, but it is also very lively and spectacular, and it is also worth seeing.
2, the main picture of a dirty wave Dazzle (neutral word). See too many comments such as "heavy taste", "don't wear YF", "L body party", in fact, don't like it can not go ah, there are many choices ah.
Tips:
Arrive at Notting Hill subway station at 10:00 in the morning, follow the "dressed" crowd for a long time, from Notting Hill to North Kensington, when you see the formation of the team, walk quickly from the end of the team to the head of the team, find a fixed point to shoot. It starts around 12:00 and takes two hours to finish.
