Fastelovend a.k.a Karneval 2013

It's my third time celebrating Fastelovend a.k.a Karneval in Germany. It might also be the last celebration for me so I thought that I would definitely get dressed up for this crazy and colourful festival. The carnival period started on Thursday (Weiberfastnacht) and ended today (Aschermittwoch). The peak of the festival was on Monday (Rosenmontag).

I've actually posted three articles about the Karneval celebration that my friends and I experienced in Cologne 3 years ago. You can read about the articles by clicking here and here and here. :)

Billy Cullen ke tidokkk?!

Geisterzug
My housemates (Darwin & Adam) and I decided to get dressed up and went to Cologne on Saturday for Karnevalssamstag. We heard that there was gonna be a Geisterzug (Ghost parade) going on that evening. Sadly we got there a bit late and didn't get to catch the parade. So we just walk around in the Innenstadt and enjoy the view of the city which was full of people wearing costumes and doing silly things.It was fun to be part of this crazy night.

Rosenmontag
Rosenmontag was the highlight of the "crazy days" event. On this day, you'll find colourful and exciting parades and the typical goodies which are Kamelle (sweets,candies, chocolates and etc.), and Struessjer ( Flowers). These are the main attractions for the Rosenmontag event where Kamelle and Struessjer are given out for free by the people marching in the parade. Nice huh? We were all dressed up for the Rosenmontag. Fizz and I went earlier to Cologne to get a nice spot to collect Kamelle and watch the parade. Adam, Darwin and Zikri came later to join us.
