If you love carnival but you live in
the countryside, you have to find the right people to celebrate this special event
with honorableness, colorful costumes, a relaxed happy and funny mood, a little
bit of alcohol and for our Dutch friends some wheat and the world changes
completely during these days of freakiness.
Special thanks to Frank who
decorated his apartment affectionately, with passion and turned it into the
castle of carnival for this weekend. The party began civilized and mannered
having a nice dinner. After a while more and more guests showed up, the beer
and other stuff flowed like water, the music got louder, the room hotter, the photos
nutty as a fruitcake and needed to be censored... that's what you call an
awesome successful party!
On the other hand the mornings were
hard, even though Frank provided us with the good morning coffee while the radio
played brass orchestra carnivals songs aloud. 10 people stuffed in the living
room on all place available. I was lucky to get a place on an air mattress in a
room with only four people. I think it's better not going into detail.
Conclusion: great awesome party with
good memories and lots of extraordinary fun with friends from all over the
world: carnival reveled/zany - Frank from NL, Gismo/Bambi/robot - Marie from
UK, Napoleon/knight - Mark from NL, crusader/clown - Daniel from Mexico, scary
geisha/clown/Santa Claus - Milan from Serbia, monk with the holy bible - Marcel
from NL, Bavarian/nun/Russian/geisha - Heike from Oer-Erkenschwick.
By the way, the best and cheapest
costume was THE ROBOT!
Fun for old and young!
