Kalter Morgen -
ein Funkenmariechen
wartet auf den Bus


cold morning —
a carnival girl
waits for the bus

(AW)


carnival in Germany (the highlight is Rose Monday, this year on February 4th) — laughter, music and a drink or two or...the nights are long...

thank you, Bill!

i just told Martin about your comment


we loved these vending machines in Kyôto (especially the cold green tea), it was very hot in May 2007 (you can see me on the photo...i`m the woman with the sun umbrella)



tomorrow is Rose Monday -- my husband needs not to go to work (health assurance), banks etc. will be closed, many shops will be closed after lunch time...

on tv will be reports about Cologne, Mainz and the radio (some programs) will play carnival songs the whole day



but on Ash Wednesday...

...all will be over
