Ailie im Wunderland 2 - 5. Kapitel

What I can tell you about summer in Germany is, that people are crazy about sunshine, and they are sooooo eager to stay under the sun, as long as possible. But actually I cannot really stand with the weather of 36°C and around 50% humidity. That's just like somekindof grill. You cannot help yourself from getting tanned -- and I think no (crazy) whitening stuff can help.

So, as they get sick of snowy or rainly weather, they spend the whold summer to have all kinds of celebration, such as the Buergerfest (Citizen Festival) I show this time.

The Middle-Age Market
And they have some middle-aged handicrafts too... look at the shopkeepers. They dressed themselves as middle-age time people...
And you may bump into a parade... Or an astrologist..
I just found myself being in a world of another period..

What's About: Around June and July most cities in Germany (or Bavaria?) have this Buergerfest. Every Buergerfest has different themes, like the one in "my second hometown" Regensburg, they were celebrating the 30 anniversary of it. Here they have the theme of Middle-age market, plus some other regular stuff: rides, sweet stuff, beers -- in short, it is an excuse to boost up the boring life and the sliding down economy. But well, it is always good to have something to celebrate, right?
