German carnivals

It is difficult to explain the reason for such a sharp increase in the number of carnivals in Germany. Perhaps it is the desire not to let its people in South America, where the carnival tradition is much older than in Germany.

Or maybe just a desire to arrange a holiday for those who can not physically attend all in the same America. In terms of policy, the Germans always everything was in order with humor. And none of the leaders even would never resented derision. The main star of the event, of course, became chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel. Although recently retired president of the country also got. Chancellor is generally demonstrated with Nicolas Sarkozy as a sweet couple. In general, Germans have shown all their concerns in the original playful form and it's just wonderful. But it is not the policy, as they say, a single. In the streets of the cities have been clowns, mythical creatures and God knows who. Including singers, dancers and musicians :) Such parades were held in Frankfurt, Cologne, Mainz, Koblenz and several other cities.
