this is a regional celebration for the cologne region. which is my region hahhahaha... it is basically a peaking from now till next monday which will be Rossenmontag where there will be street parades.. but what is it really about??
1. lots of drinking in many places they serve only the locally brewed beer Kölsch..
2. dressing up
3. getting drunk
4. lots of drinking Kölsch..
repeat 3 and 4
last friday i went to a "loss mer singe" event which is local initiative to promote local dialect songs.. imagine a group of people from klang singing hokkien song drinkking beer (yup, if you are from malaysia you will understand) but add that with dressing in silly costume the impact is even more (*.*)
the team go from pub to pub singing and handing out lyric so patrons can sing along.. only one pub per night though.. so it is packeddddddddd..i went to one of them.. hey, there is always a first time.. :P
The event was poorly organised, chaotic, packed and you can hardly move.. if you are drunk, it will be OK.. but if you are nottttt.. mmm...
anyways.. here are some pictures of me as a CAT.. a cat not a bunny!! look at the tail! and my friends as gay smurfsss.. i say gay because the caps are pink.. godness sake PINKKKK.
more to come as the Karneval continuesssss...
