A short one

Ok, this entry will be short because I just arrived from my first karnival party and I am really exhausted, but I can't go to bed without telling my experience today. I have got that annoying sound you have in your ears after being in somewhere with loud music... You know, it is like a piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, and I have to say it is making me crazy. Please don't laught seeing the photo. It is really normal here to dress and comb as you can see in it.
There are two things I want to remark. The first one, the security. I accompanied my brother because he had catched a job in this party as the lighting engineer. We got to the place at four o'clock in the afternoon because he had to pre-set the patterns he would use during the night. We stayed there for almost 12 hours!!!! The party started at seven, but before the doors opening, a gang of firemen arrived on the scene and controlled every detail you can imagine just for the safety of the party. We were at the stage so I could take a walk around the scenes and I found an elevator for almost 40 people, to be used in case of an emergency. I thought: wow... I have another reason for consider Germany as a first world country.
The second thing that caught my attention was the age of the people: the most of them were adults, around 30 or even more. However, they behaved as I behave normally in a disco of my country. I was fascinated. They all were disguised, with wonderful fancy dresses, and they danced and jumped and shouted until the music stopped. I was impressed... how different can be the people from different countries? Why that is not so common in my country and someone of there might see it ridiculous?
I will try to find the answer this year, here, far from my first bed, but surrounded by people interested in my wellness, I am sure about that.
