we welcomed a baby daughter a week ago on early Thursday morning. 50cm of wonder and a healthy 3.3 kg
I abandon the being-25-forever mindset and slide responsibly towards 40

Welcome to Rheinland, happy to have you here!
Karneval, there’s a lot more to it than the public drunkenness downtown
That’s not what I meant when I said there are parts that I like!

And yes, despite everything the locals keep trying to tell themselves, cologne really isn’t special. It’s pretty ugly, has its very own corruption issues (but it’s not called corruption so it’s just a cute culture thing ok???) and prides itself way too much on a half week of compete idiots getting mindlessly drunk.
That somehow sounded way too negative didn’t it? It’s fine, honestly, but don’t let them tell you it’s all that special
What he said!
You might have an easy time settling in because in my experience, it’s a pretty welcoming and accepting (or at least tolerant) part of the country. As for Karneval, there’s a lot more to it than the public drunkenness downtown; even I like some parts of it.
Oh yeah, that is definitely a good thing around here... as calvinhobbes said, everyone's very open and welcoming, mostly. I've always lived here (abouts), so it's just not something that I take notice of, simply because I don't know any different. Only other place I really lived for a while was NZ for half a year, where they take that welcoming and friendly thing to a whole other levelI’ve noticed a calmer, more relaxed attitude to things. I’m more often to hear a „hallo“ or whatever from people walking by on the street than I ever did around freiburg.
The only thing I can think of is the fun kiddie part with the costumes and throwing candy all over the place.
by the wildly excessive drinking and all the crap that comes with it
