During that time people in the south party for as long as 3 days during days and nights. The partying happens on the streets where everyone goes out and meets each other. A bunch of drinking happens during these three days. People go from pub to pub dancing and celebrating the old tradition.
The old tradition is that the Carnival celebrations start after the mayor symbolically hands over the key to the city to Prince Carnival. For three days, the Carnival Prince has control of the city and, together with his subjects, celebrates the temporary establishment of their Kingdom of Fools. Merrymakers make their way from pub to pub and greet Prince Carnival with three cheers of “Alaaf”.
I mean, who doesn't want to forget about work for three days and all of the current responsibilities?! That would be awesome! Dressing up in the most colourful and crazy clothes and drinking beer all day and night. Using your dancing skills as your exercise for three days. Life would be heavenly!
Now let's all pack our bags and somehow end up in Holland in February 2014.
