Carneval of the Cultures
On Friday the 13th carneval of the cultures got started, and this night it will end(better lets say thuesday morning). More than one million visitors where estimatet. Now I know, that 1.3 million was there.
And it is great, I really can tell you. On friday afternoon Peter and I went to the Blücherplatz where the big street festival is, with Latainrock, Turkish music, reggae, salsa and all the other things which makes you dance, let your legs go crazy and your hips swing. Wizards, curiosity marketeers and culinary delights invide visitors to stay. And we really had fun there. Peter even meet an old friend there which he hasn't seen since about 10 years.
On Sunday the big Street Parade started at 12:30 p.m. with 4500 participants from 80 nations, colorfull like always, but this year with warm and sunny weather. Music from all parts of the world, Sambagroups, devilish looking creatures from Cameron, colourful dancers from Bolivia, and an Indonesian gamelan orchestra touts for the grace of the audience. And it didn't end at 9 p.m., no, the people where making more party's at the Blücherplatz and in the bars. With lots of beer, mochitos and caipirinha. Like last year. Like this last video.
