On 18th Feb I went to a Faschingsumzug (a carnival), at a quite small town. But it was a very lively event . I guess the budget for each car's parade not so high. Nevertheless I'm still impressed with some of it. Using their creativity to the fullest with a limited budget was not that easy. I never participate in any parade before but I was once responsible
for decorating a backdrop for an event, so i knew how much works have to be done even for tiny little thing.
I didn't wear any costume, but if i'm going to wear any, I'll probably wear wizard's outfit like gandalf, or at the very least , an elf's ear, like Legolas. I've actually found that accesories, but it's look to me more like an orc's ear. It would be really fun if any otaku attend the event, so I could see someone disguise as naruto or ichigo.
