The only words in Kölsch that I'm certain about is "Kölle Alaaf!" which is a typical greeting during the festival. And it means Long live Cologne! So you would hear this phrase being shout out everywhere anywhere all day long.. :)
I've actually posted two articles about the Karneval celebration that my friends and I experienced in Cologne 2 years ago. You can read about the articles by clicking here and here.
5 of us (Fizz, Fuad, Nuzul, Ainul and I) went to Cologne last Monday to experience the Rosenmontag parade. Lots of people got themselves masqueraded and costumed.We got to see beautiful, eye-catching floats going around the city entertaining the visitors. The floats not only try to be beautiful but also represent ironical, political and traditional topics .The best part would be as the floats pass by, Kamelle (sweets, candies, chocolates etc) and Struessjer (Flowers) were being thrown to the crowd while they sing Karneval songs. That was serious fun!
Enjoy the pictures...
