Alaaaaaaaaaaaaaaf! It's November 11 at 11:00 and the season for merrymaking has
officially started. It's Carnival season in this region. If you're new to the
city, don't be surprised that everyone is coming to work in crazy costumes for
the day. Old city would be full to the last street, and the main station would
be converted to a huge dancing hall.
This season of dancing, drinking and orchestrated jokes telling will
last until Ash Wednesday next year culminating on the so-called Rosenmontag
or Rose Monday.
So either you join the fun, get crazily dressed or leave the city
and be a so-called Carnival refugee and spend your holiday somewhere
starting the weekend of Weiberfastnacht(Thursday)until Tuesday before
Ash Wednesday.
Beer will flow, romance will fill the air and some loud Germans become
even louder during this season. Alaaaaaaaaf!
