Excited by the great weather and all I heard about this big event, I didn't want to miss Berlin's unique "Karneval der Kulturen" on the last pentecost-weekend.
Leaving the metro station on Hermannplatz, I immediately dived into masses of people, who partied the streets of Kreuzberg. More than 4000 artists, representing 80 nations, entertaining over a million visitors - it was quite an impressive picture of Berlin's cultural diversity.
The procession, consisting of hundred different wagons, each representing an own cultural lifestyle, moved from Hermannplatz to Yorckstrasse - separated by dancing people, shaking their bodies to different sounds from all over the world.
It was real fun being among them, especially because of all those nice costumes and colorful appearances.
Never having seen it, i must admit on the downside, that the event also reminded me of the numerous pictures and clips of the famous Love Parade I saw throughout the media. Most people shook to the drum'n bass wagons and big transparents spanning the streets and reminding people to drink water, gave the carneval a special Berlin touch.
Nevertheless, all the artists did their best to show their way to party hilariously on this sunny weekend on the streets.
