Shall blog about Helau in Germany.
I was at the Helau parade last Sunday. It was a sunny afternoon, therefore not so cold (11 degree)
Helau is something like our Chingay in Singapore
Some of the crowds will dress up as characters along the street.
except that they would throw candies, toys and flowers at the crowd (to me, this is the interesting part compared to ur Chingay)
Some of the crowds will dress up as characters along the street.
As the parade goes on, the crowds will scream and shout "HELAU" and will also try to snatch as much candies as they can.
They even bring bags along to hold those candies. Can you imagine pple will be able to snatch two bagful of candies home.
Of course I manage to snatch some candies too, but not too much cos no point holding onto the candies while I cant eat at all (bcos of pregnancy), so I pass some to my hubby's colleagues.
Next year, will bring my baby along and of course bags to fill up the candies.
They are throwing candies down to the crowd
Hubby's colleagues dressed up as witches & clown ?
