"Have i done it this time? Have i managed to go completely insane?"
This would be a normal thought to have, if one were to unknowingly stumble upon Carnival celebrations.
Obviously, i couldn't help but asking the very same thing in full awareness of the position i was in. Truly refreshing thoughts to have though, to exorcize the mundanity of daily life. Hopefully i'll manage to dispell this boring situation in full carnivalesque spirit!
But back to the core of the discussion, i wanted to ask:
Venice hosts one of the nicest carnivals i have been to in my life, have you ever been there?
It can be great, if it's celebrated in this spirit, but these days it's more like a mass drinking orgy. Everybody is forced to be foolish and they mean singing some strange german songs makes them rebels.
The only carnival outside Germany I approached, was at the canary island Tenerife and it was much like I expect brazilian carneval to be. But I definitely will have to see the Venice carnival and even Mardi Gras one day. Would (at least) be great for some photography posts on Steemit ;-)
