So Fasnacht is part Karnival, part traditional swiss festival to scare away the evil winter spirits. In the Canton of Zürich, where I live (in case anyone missed that memo), which is a protestant canton, it is basically an excuse to be loud and get very drunk. And dress up like a crazy person. Here is a video to demonstrate some Fasnacht activities. :)
Here are my pictures from Fasnacht:
Me showing off my super awesome makeup...
And super awesome hair....
Eating a pretzel before getting a train to Zürich...
The restaurant where we ate, complete with crazy saxophone band....
Traditional Swiss Rösti with Spiegeleier (fried eggs)
Looking cute on the train home.... believe it or not, he was totally willing to be seen in public with me... =)
I'm Kathryn, an almost grown up university student who lives for music and likes to write. I'm currently studying for a masters in music pedagogy in Zürich, Switzerland. Old instruments are a particular interest of mine, and I love the research that comes with them. This is the blog where I sometimes remember to write about my lovely adventures.
