How to Celebrate Carnival in Peru

A month ago, Amanda and I had a conversation that went something like this…

Amanda: It’s the last day of carnival isn’t it?
Eden: Yeah…we should totally go and attack our friends as well as random strangers with water guns.
Amanda: I am in agreement with you.

The day ended with Amanda and I going home with a sense of success that we have never felt before. We guarantee you can feel this same sense of carnivictory if you just follow these 8 Carnival guidelines:

1. Plan your attack on one of the last days of February That way, there will be no time for a victim’s vengeance.


2. Make your own water guns You can save money by attaching the squirt tops of Windex-like containers and attaching them to water bottles.

3. Call the person you are planning on attacking in advance to make sure they are home "Hi Kathy… I was just calling to see if you had my movie 'I am So Going to get you Wet.' I forget who I lent it to."


4. Always have a back up plan Amanda was going to lure Kathy out to the street and then I was going to come out from around the corner and squirt her. But it turns out that Kathy was in her pajamas and Amanda had to yell so I could hear “OH! WHATS THAT KATHY? YOU CAN’T COME OUTSIDE BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT IN DECENT CLOTHING?” So we ended up just breaking into her house and chasing her around with our water guns.


5. Let your prey come to you Oftentimes, unsuspecting students can be lured to a home where they can easily be carnivalled by three of their evil teachers.


6. The back of a combi is a prime location for squirting people From our location, we were able to quite easily attack random people in other vehicles.


7. Don’t squirt people until the stoplight turns green I made the poor decision of squirting a driver when he was stopped at a red light. He laughed and then stared at us until we felt maximum awkwardness and the light turned green again.


8. Know the natural habitat of your prey ICSL students apparently migrate to grassy, shaded areas on weekends. We hit the jackpot when we found over 20 of our secondary students at a nearby park and were able to attack each and every one of them.
