Koeln and the Carnival February 22, 2007

interesting manifestation what can i say…

i was in Koln only for 6 hours…but it was enough to get the picture of the Carnival:)

people wearing costumes…i saw a guy wearing a costume of a scrumbled egg and a woman was a brocolli:)))…many nurses, and men in skirts,

Germans laughing and enjoing themselves…and surprise …even kissing on the streets…

well..it was just like any other carnival, but with German specific songs with simple words of course, so you could enjoy them only when you are drunk:) otherwise they seem to be created for kindergarden kids.

Koln is nice, but i guess is like almost any other city in Germany…REBUILT, this meaning it starts at the train station and ends up at the church, (which in Koln are at 100 m distance…so an exception..) with nothing special to see but the cathedral which it looked very impressive.

i managed to spend only 30 euros…which is a record:)…on beers, transportation and a funny hat of course:). i had a great time with all the friends from Frankfurt and afterwords with some Romanians who are having a traineeship in Bonn…whom i never saw before, just talked on the phone and on e-mail…nice transilvanian people…i could feel that they feel i am an Oltanian:)

nice discussions and exchanges of opinions…and also full of learning points for me…because i dont know how come, after so many working/studying/living experiences with all sorts of people i still have a big dose of naivity…and of course sometimes i remember about it because of the people that make me have “aha moments” )…but i think i dont want to lose it after all…i think it is useful even when i shouldnt have it…because i always wake up on time…and people dont manage to take advantage of me (of my time, my brain, work, resources etc.)

well…that was the Koln Carnival…i am still waiting for the photos from the guys who had a camera…but as always the guys who own a camera, are selfish and forget about the others…
