Alaaaaf!
Alaaaf! I joined the biggest Carnival of Germany: Cologne!
I went for the “Rosenmontagzug”, it´s a street parade on Canival´s Mondays which lasts for more than 4 hours and with +/- 2 million watchers. Cologne is an impressive city itself, the cathedral is really a heritage and the people are known as “party-people”.
Those are seem as enough reasons to visit it, but I found much more:

- Carnival here is experienced by all generations, from children to the old generation.
- People were costumes everywhere. They specially like clowns (+/-60%), after that we see a wide range of animals (cats, tigers, bears, rabbit’s, kangaroos, etc.), “group ones “ 20 people wearing the same, (on purpose!), nonsense self-made costumes are also common (everything of everything).
- “Kolsch”, the bier from the region is one of my favourites!
