Carnival in Germany

Carnival (Karneval, called Fasching in southern Germany and Austria) continued several days, held annually the day is not the same, according to certain laws of the Christian goes on. Some German said, sooner or later goes on every year according to the German summer vacation.

The 2000 carnival day on the first Monday in March. Germany is not everywhere to celebrate Mardi Gras, the most popular is the three cities of Dusseldorf, Cologne and the United Heinz. During the Carnival holiday, only several states. In some places such as Munich, a little celebration, northern and in some places simply do not celebrate.

Cologne, Dusseldorf, with many of the Carnival Association. Large and small city in that area every year to elect a prince. Prince is actually spend money on, who out much money, that is who. Prince example, to do in Bonn to 50,000 marks, and to do the prince will have to come up with 250,000 marks in Cologne. Said that this position is also indisputable badly.

Carnival first start from the so-called woman carnival night (Weiberfastnacht) (Thursday). On that day, if you wearing a name brand neckties, may not take to the streets. German girls at night after the droves in the street holding the scissors turn, push push squeeze put the man in the tie to the cut. Day of Cologne in the vicinity of airports everywhere hung with cut tie. But there are also many men deliberately buy break even tie made of paper to take to the streets to pick up the taste of a collar and Christina girls flirt.

Saturday, some of the town began to parade. Sunday parade set to medium-sized cities such as Bonn, took to the streets. Carnival day - Rose Monday (Rosenmontag) and then concentrated to Cologne, Dusseldorf and the United States Heinz a few large centers. Center parade to walk about four hours, very, very busy . Millions of viewers shouting Kamelle (to me sugar)! Hellau! Ahoi!, Competition for the parade thrown chocolate, a long queue behind the band, dance, horses and so on and so forth, in the last waiting to pick up the pieces of garbage sweeper.

University city of Heidelberg, the original rich thief.
I come to Germany only met twice warrant offenders are actually Heidelberg after committing the crime linger over. The first is the small robbers, grab a small savings bank in that village children have 20k Europe, so wanted. This is a handsome guy recidivist or children in that village, shoes skirt instrument of notebook mobile phone camera watch key jacket stolen in the student dormitory, according to police uncle is now toward the Men Tuen. So these days every time the elevator had to look around to see if there are no suspicious guy lurking nearby.

IP, and the IC, the IQ card, all tell me the password. "

Haben Sie diesen Mann gesehen?
Did you see the this the man?

Card temperatures for two consecutive days above 30 degrees round and round, strong sunlight to go out roasted depressed, the reduction in cars and buses dare not outcrop. Sit at the table, still feel the heat continuously through the window to the Bay over, had let down the curtain for the time being to block a block. Close to dusk, sunlight across the floor to block, I dare to pull the curtain open the window and the door to enjoy a moment to breeze through the housing.

But this rain is that come. The sun completely disappeared in the sky close to ten o'clock, and another 20 minutes the sky was completely turn black - I do not know why here latitude with Beijing is almost the same why there is such a big difference. Close to 10:30 to find food in the kitchen corner of my eye to sweep out the window a light across the upstairs terrace was photographed. But one turned around and the effort has been as big as beans rain beat on the window flap sounds immediately filled with a burst of fragrance in the air atmosphere. Lightning followed by a one to illuminate the clouds, then thunder, heavy rain pouring down. I opened the window, and then take a deep breath, and cool air surrounded by the whole people at once sweet. Downstairs on the lawn of grass sway in the rain, and rain swept the window to draw the trajectory of a Road shining in the dark. Across the floor, the window also began to appear silhouette, this unexpected rain to be a surprise to everyone. Close to summer, most of the exam, students have been leaving their quarters, building the students probably only one-third of the usual, most of the windows are tightly closed, usually bustling dormitory has silent. In addition to the sky occasionally wear to the thunder and the window in the rain outside, the silence.

Procedures run total of three town hall, three banks, a police station, quarters, and the urban areas from the 3 times.
The middle of sporadic rain or cold wind biting, hard to imagine on a hot day last week, just turning 30 several times. German began to lament the fall of.
The team of the competition close to urban areas, the main road to stop all other traffic. Streets packed with people, for the first time reminds me of the home of the lantern festival.
The height of the defects I can not find a settled place to enjoy the game, and even traffic lights above are crawling.
I was holding the camera to find the angle, the ear whiz of the wind flew over the convoy has passed. First insight into the speed of the car and wanted to train much better than this.
The game watching bitterly of the dormitory on the Scottish bagpipes chewing pasta.
Shot less than a car, but fortunately, there is a dog.
