Boozy, if I have a look at the pics in your footy, I would say you better match to the carnival, anyway youd have no other choice, the oktober fest will be over soon. If your appearance would be like that, youd win a price at least :lol:
Dont forget, even if its deep wintertime, drinkers sun is shining in every beer hall and pub.
No, seriously, carnival is a great event in Germany. People turn crazy because after a long, cold and boring period of winter, they are seeking something exciting and because its still very cold outside, they have to celebrate inside.
So there are huge dancing halls and almost every pub celebrates its "Hausball".
Over the days of carnival almost each pub will be crowded by beerdrinkers.
At "fat thursday" or also called "old wifes fastnacht" all the women are going out separated from men, they take over to reign, so thats the start of the core time of carnival.
some words of comfort to you: it might be the same people celebrating the carnival as you can see at Oktoberfest, they are not vanished
Cheers mate :icon_cheers:
