In the south -where I lived- people don't care about carnival, it's like being in a completely different country- so I can't tell you from my own experience
Anyway, I wouldn't get close to Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro or Salvador during carnival (the three cities where things really happen), I would be really afraid to walk there, especially being tourist, you rarely find someone who speaks English and all. A group of friends from my father went to Rio de Janero and loved it, I just watched through the TV, and it's really beautiful, I muss confess ^^
sheesh, illiterate people.
