Carnival in Germany!

Today is a special day:
Punctually on the 11th day of the 11th month at 11 hours and 11 minutes the Carnival seasons will start.

After one day it will go to sleep again and will be revived early next year.

I greet you now with one of many Carnival greetings:

Helau! :)

Supposed to mean: Hello - or something.

Now it has started!

Today is Ash Wednesday.
So you think that the Carnival is over?
Not quite.

Next Monday it will start again in a certain city in Switzerland:
