KARNEVAL!!!!!!!!

February 3, 2008

Karneval is one big PAR-TAY!!!! What's the background of such a celebration? Who knows! The only thing I do know (and ONLY need to know) is that everyone gets dressed up and drinks ALL night looooooooooong!


Amsterdam: getting prepped at F. Do's apartment....




Heart Ties = 1EUR, Heart Earrings = 2EUR, F.Do & LT = Priceless!



Matching Earrings... check. Matching Ties... check. Matching Boots... check. Matching Jackets... check. Matching Crazianess... CHECK!!!!



Ahhhh, good ol' Amsterdam and the ability to drink as you please on the train without judgment... how I miss the freedom...



To ensure a full 'fro, you must tease, tease, tease!!!



"Don't mess biatches!"



No lie, his mom not only made his costume but also a group of his friends costumes as well!!!



After taking a short detour (who knew the train split into 2 after a certain point! Good thing for the kind Dutchmen who directed us to our destination!), we finally arrived in Maastricht!



Beer, beer, beer....



Long Schlongs?


Ohhh, a ginormous batch of caramelized onions...



Everyone wanted to take a picture with F.Do and myself... can't decide if it was because we were Asian or because our costumes were so darn AWESOME, or maybe the combination of the two?



Hee Hee, even the dogs were dressed up... and perhaps also drinking beer???



Eating something which I can't recall exactly what... though goodness I'm sure...





ummmm....


OMG, he has friends!!!


urmmm..... no comment?


.... and then the fun stopped.... they were finally told by police to cover up....



Now with the naked boys gone, it was time to find other entertainment.... yay! Chickens!


Chicken revealed and a priest?


A boy dressed as a girl and kids who should be at home sleeping, not out getting their groove on... hopefully that boy/girl isn't their dad/mom...



We were quite popular...



Beer? Beer? Beer? Beer!!!!!




"How you Do-ing????"



"Hey! Hey! Heeeeyyyy!"



F.Do's shoulders say it all. (Side note: check out that guy's pants to the left!)



Love, love, love this picture!!!





Time to EAT!!!!


.... or pose like crazy women....




F.Do literally had a wheel of melted brie... not just a slab, but a FULL wheel!!!


oh yeah! lambchops!!!



F.Do likes to open her mouth wide....


... See, I don't lie... wide open once again....


So how did the night end? Let's just say we didn't have a place booked that night since we didn't think about this event a year ago to book. Yes, it seems that's how far in advance one would need to book to ensure a room. Fortunately for us, clubs were open all night long. It certainly was an interesting evening. Again, we were reminded that we are no longer spring chickens.... But damn can we party with the best of them... until our bedtime that is.
