Tuesday, February 28, 2006
yeap! that's all there is to Fastnacht!..Helau..which means...nothing! hahaz yeap it has absolutely no meaning..just as how the weird get ups..hairdos..make-up and drinking. It's a just a day for everyone to find an excuse to drink from sun rise to sun set, be jolly and make laughter..at the same time..a hell lotta mess too ;p


hordes of ppl from ard lining the streets of the Fastnacht procession

lil' lost tiger at Fastnacht..and Mainz ppl all ready for the occasion


Carnival started at 11.20 and lasted till 4-ish pm..imagine Chingay for 5 hours!! hahaz but no one got bored of it..with all the candies, schkolade, waffles and toys..truckloads of happy things strewn all ard =)

one of the many marching bands...and Big Head monstors come out to haunt!!!


the whole city of Mainz came to a standstill except the jolly ppl streaming to the Brutwurst stands and the Bier and Wein stands which kept everyone warm when it snowed at 1-ish pm..

even the monstors come out to play!


Vanessa and friends we met along the way~

All the crazy folks who pontank school and stood for 5 hrs for the parade!



Party started right after the big duck ended the Fastnacht procession..

Last but not least...Anliz and my poor attempt to camou...

and..it's snowy night!!!

P.S. look at the speckled coat..
