the Carnival Season

the Carnival Season
Yesterday, on the 11th day of November - at 11 minutes past 11 o'clock a.m. -  the Carnival Season has officially started in Germany.

What is your general opinion on Carnival?

Have you ever taken part in Carnival somewhere sometime?

Not sure what meaning you assign to Carnival. When I was a kid, it was just the period before Lent when you could indulge in goodies.

Well, I can only say: Carnival is a many-splendoured thing!
One could talk about it for days - and still find no end!

I've never officially been to a carnival. Pretty sure they're extinct here in 'Murica. The closest I have come is the State Fair and amusement parks.

A real Carnival is not "official".

It is a private affair.

We took a squadron of USN ships around South America and just so happened to hit Rio during Carnival.
