Carnival

Zürich always seems to have a reason for party. Suits me. This one is called "fasnacht" (or so I think, no need for spelling corrections, ok?) It means that the normally shy Swiss dress up (in gear that must take forever to make) and do make-up. They then go out in groups (5-15 people) and play music. They carry around drum sets, and all sorts of instruments. They play. They laugh. They even drink. Imagine that!

A bit like people going on holiday. Doesn't matter where they're from. People behave differently when on vacation. Like they relax and (mis-)behave more. Compare the Germans with the towels...not entirely sure they are different at home though :)
