Throughout many parts of the world, this last week has seen Carnival and Mardi Gras celebrations timed just before the start of Lent.

Carnival is also a very important celebration in Caribbean nations, although many time their festivities for different parts of the year to give visitors a chance to catch all the fun.

This month we're going to chat with Davian Baxter, who originally hails from Jamaica, and learn more about his life in Taiwan and what carnival means to Caribbean peoples. As a young child Davian moved to the United States with his family, but the Caribbean still played an important role in his development.
