What I did for Karneval....

I'm going to sum it up real quick:

Thursday
I was really busy (I know! Weird, huh?) and didn't do anything.

Friday
I was at a really lame birthday party where everyone was stoned, then somebody pulled out a guitar and they played the usual Dylan songs. I left "early," but then spent the night at a friend's flat and he showed me cool photography stuff.
Saturday
It forking snowed!!! Here's a photo:


Then I dressed up as a pirate and high tailed it to Cologne. We pre-gamed on the train:
This is me and I'm a fool.
This is Timo and he's a Bavarian.
That party lasted from about noon 'till 6AM the next day.
Sunday
This day is the most important in Holland. I went to Maastricht to meet couchsurfers, but because of the late night before, I got there late and missed them. Schade. On the upside, the weather was fantastic and the celebration a lot better in comparison to Aachen's parade the following day. The costumes were more unique, there weren't buckets of sweets being thrown into the streets and not so much drinking.
Monday
I met some German friends in the city. It was very cold, windy, and rainy. It even snowed a bit. As aforementioned there was sooooo much candy being thrown into the streets. I mean, you had to watch out or a 3lb box of chocolates would fall into your eye. Or worse, your beer, an indispensible liquid for warmth.

Hey, Rach, You look so cute as a pirate. I could tell by the mustache and t-shirt that you were a pirate, and not just another person on the train.
