It depends of each one. It's a personal opinion. I don't like carnaval, and I don't now New Orleans' festival very much.

Brazil a very large country and it makes its culture be very variated. I'm not sure if Oktoberfest is so famous in the southern states, maybe in some cities only. But stcatarina must have more informations about it, because I don't live there. The thing I know is that carnival is not the prefered holiday of all Brazilians as well as football is not the prefered sport of all of them. And I think carnaval is more popular in Northern states than in the Southern ones.

Yes, the same way you can't say all americans like american football or fast food. I don't know what is your country, but you know the idea foreigners have about your country is not whole right, isn't it? ;-)

Yes I know. I was just exaggerating because I've seen how Brazilians are passionate about football and I'm just saying that as a country, Brazil loves football. Meaning more Brazilians love it than hate it. :)
