Required elements for a Chiapanecan (Chiapas adjectival form) carnival or feria (fair):
1. Churros, panqueques (pancakes), fried plantains, and taco stands
2. Sunglasses and scarves for sale
3. 20 peso games to win ripoff or even pharmaceutical company stuffed animals
4. Rides that make fair rides in the states look as safe as Six Flags
And, if you're in Chiapa de Corzo, men dressed in traditional women's clothing to commemorate either a) a Spanish woman who brought her sick son to Chiapa de Corzo (I'm missing something) or b) when the men dressed in women's clothing to sneak home from the war.
Pictures to come.
