Karneval arises

The original idea was that today I would talk about the german food, but this country never stops surprising me.
Yesterday I was the whole afternoon in a nearer city with my brother buying our customs for karneval. I never thought this would be so big party. Today at the train station I started to understand what is about (I took a photo of the situation in question, you can see what I am talking about).
Everyone or almost all the people were wearing customs, but no the customs we are accustomed to see: they were great and stylish customs, plenty of colours and brightening things.
I was lucky since I came here because this region is the Karneval region for excellence. There is no person who don't feel the Karnival, they all know Karnival and they seem excited every time they speak about it. I've heard that the Cologne Karneval is one of the most exciting parties in the whole world. I will be able to say if it is true or not in only a few days, what exciting!
During Karnival there are no clases and all the people have to wear customs, everytime, everywhere they go. It is funny because we are not used to see adults with their faces painted or wearing colorful underwear over their trousers haha.
There is some traditional music for Karneval too. They are really catchy rhythms although the lyrics are a bit simple or repetitive. It is the kind of music we would dance if we were drunk and we just wanted to jump and shout for nothing more than having fun. I like it. I find it quite familiar, don't ask me why.


This is truly interesting: everything has been great since I arrived, so I ask myself... How better the things can go from now? I don't want to know it, I will just let myself surprised, as I did until now. Schüss!

Santiago.
