After seeing this, I really didn't want to write a post complaining about something wrong with the world. This video of the city of Cologne takes me back to my drunken teenage traveling days. This is carnival time in Europe and in Cologne(Koln)it is called Fasching. As a 19-year old I stepped out one morning from the main train station, next to the Cologne Cathedral and found myself surrounded by drinking, food, costumes, games and one hell of a parade.
I've never seen a parade where they hand out full sized Milka chocolate bars. Later, when I had my fill of chocolate and wurst, a friend took me to a local bar where they drink Kolsch, a light colored beer served in tall thin glasses. What a great time, not a memory I think of often but certainly a fond one...
