Nein............selten sieht man so viele Tiere in der Stadt, Bierflaschen auf Beinen, maskuline Squaws in Pumps, bekommt man an jeder Ecke von wildfremden Menschen so oft Alkohol angeboten (und trinkt gar keinen!), werden so viele Süßigkeiten umsonst unter's Volk geworfen (aber auch Blumen, Haarschmuck, Kondome, Parkscheiben, Taschentücher).
Vielleicht.....immer noch ein seltsamer Brauch für mich als Zugezogene, aufgewachsen in einer nahezu karnevalsfreien Region. Aber verhungern werde ich in den nächsten Tagen nun ganz sicher nicht. Miau!
Yes.............when having a look out of my front door, it was clear: there was no way around it. Apart from leaving in time or barricading the flat. This year, sun was shining, it rained confetti, I went out.
No..............you'll rarely see so many animals in the city, beer bottles on legs, maculine squaws on heels, be offered alcohol by total strangers so often (and I don't drink any!), are so many sweets thrown on the people (but also flowers, hair decoration, condoms, parking discs, handkerchiefs).
Maybe.........it's still a strange tradition for me as a non-native, being born in a region where carnival is nearly unknown. But I won't starve within the next days now, that's for sure. Meow!
