fasching is crazy.
Just gonna do a little update, because today was ridiculous.
Right now is "Fasching" or "Karneval" time in Germany, basically an excuse for all the old people to get drunk and wear stupid costumes. I went downtown today to experience the festivities, and honestly it was insanity. Imagine Times Square on New Years Eve and put it smack in the middle of the day on a Tuesday. It was around 3pm and everyone was completely trashed, packed into Marienplatz. There were old drunk German men pissing on the SIDE of the bathroom instead of inside because the line was too long. Literally just in a huge crowd of people pissing on the side of a building...then we saw more drunken guys pissing on a pile of gravel as if it was a urinal, out in a huge crowd of people, no shame.
The best part and what made me want to do a short entry so I don't ever forget it, is the fact that on one of the stages the radio stations had set up there was a guy dressed up as BLADE from the vampire movies doing a choreographed dance to a techno song. Literally of all the things I would have thought I could have seen today, BLADE doing a dance routine...let's just say I would never have believed it if you had told me I would see it. Of course after his routine he proceeded to strip with a bunch of GoGo dancers around him. Of course. He was wearing a sword and had a big fake gun and would periodically wield one or the other at the crowd. Hilarious.
Anytime you feel yourself getting down, just remember, you aren't a BLADE impersonator doing a dance routine in Germany as "Faschingszeit" entertainment.
