    Today is the last day of the Carnival in Germany.

    I am all for this Carnival - in its Black Forest version: the Fasnacht.

    Germany is divided between Carnival-haters and Carnival-lovers.

    Just got back from Germany yesterday, my first time experiencing carnival. man, they go all out for it. I thought it was good fun, I didn't care much for the music in the tents afterwards but the whole effort and spirit of it was really enjoyable.

    Some North Germans are ignorants - that is true. :)

    it was Fasnet, I was in a town near the border between Baden Wurttemburg and Bavaria, where my girlfriend is from. It was a small enough affair, but I was just impressed by the turnout and effort people made for it. When you consider the tripe you see (outside of the cities) on Paddy's day here, it was impressive how the towns did their parades.
