Around the Praca General Osorio and the Ipanema Beach, a lot of parties.

About this traveling
Traveling to Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro 10-17 February 2010 this time, was my second time to Brazil. Visited before October 2007 to many places including both cities, Amazon, Pantanal, Iguazu Falls, and Salvador, this time was only to enjoy the Carnival, the biggest party on earth, they said.
In Sao Paulo, I did my first Couch Surfing (http://www.couchsurfing.com/), i.e. staying in a local place or home stay. Though the Carnival is not that famous as Rio's, the Samba School Parade at the Sambodrome was more enjoyable, since it was easier to get the good seat tickets. The Sambodrome had more space, and I even experienced the rehearsal and visit to one of the school one night before the parade. I went only to the first night of the parade on 12 February 2010.
In Rio, the prices of accommodation was rocket high. Luckily, found someone to share the room at Lonely Planet Thorntree Forum. Spent really fun times with 3 funky friends, Japanese girls live in Qatar. Enjoyed relax time on the beach, dance in the park, dinner in Copacabana. I went to both nights of the parade, on 14 February alone, and on 15 February with the 3 girls.
Here is my selected experience:
1. watching Samba School parade in Sao Paulo Sambodrome, sitting in Sector B Cadeira seat
2. watching Samba School parade in Rio Sambodrome, with the 3 girls, sitting in Sector 4 grand stand seat on 15 February 2010
3. relaxing at Copacabana beach with 3 funky girls
4. joining open parties in beach and park at Ipanema
5. dancing at Rio clubs
