IPHONE DIARY: KARNEVAL DER KULTUREN 2014


Last weekend was the Karneval Der Kulturen in Berlin.
It was by far the hottest day of the year, way too hot to be spending it outside actually. But no one cared, because when it's Karneval der Kulturen in Berlin, there is no other place to be than at the march on Sunday. I wanted to start my day of looking at some of the wagons pass by Südstern with Tissi and Gina, then meet up with my friends but I bumped into my babe Mehtap and a few streets down Carina instead, saw Aminata from Germany's Next Topmodel and lost Nisi in the crowd of the YAM wagon, when it all went to fast. I only had my iPhone camera with me because it was either two bottles of iced water or my DSLR camera in my bag and surviving KDK seemed more important than HQ pictures. I gotta admit though that my iPhone diary has a more personal touch to it. Turns out it wasn't such a bad thing I wasn't out without my camera.

If you don't have enough of money to travel the world to get to know different cultures, the Karneval der Kulturen is a nice alternative. And Berlin's diversity has a lot to offer - so many people to represent the different nations.
Sunday was my first time at the Karneval der Kulturen and I was in for lots of loud music, colors and prints, dancing and a lot of walking all the way from Südstern to Yorkstraße. Well, atleast the Ghana wagon was making it's supporters dance. It was nice to get to know more people from my country living in Berlin, especially the youth.(Funny thing is, you've met these faces years ago at random family celebrations or weddings).
And I was amazed by the massive crowd of supporters for Ghana, lots of Germans feeling at home in the Ghana crowd :)
At some point there were more Germans than Ghanaians dancing behind that wagon! Haha.

Ps.: I see that no post were posted during my stay in Florence. Oh well.. I'll just post them in the following days and the Florence pictures will be up as soon I've sorted them out :)

Wenn man nicht genug Geld hat, um die ganze Welt zu bereisen, um die verschiedenen Kulturen kennen zulernen, ist der Karneval der Kulturen eine schöne Alternative. Und Berlin's Diversität hat viel zu bieten - so viele Menschen, die die verschiedensten Nationen vertreten können.
Sonntag war mein erstes Mal beim Karneval der Kulturen und mich erwartete viel laute Musik, Farben und Prints, tanzen und viel laufen vom Südstern bis zur Yorckstraße. Naja, jedenfalls hat der Ghana-Wagen seine Anhänger zum Tanzen gezwungen :) Es war schön mehr Leute aus meinem Land, die in Berlin leben kennen zu lernen, besonders die Jugendlichen. (Lustige ist, die Gesichter hat man bereits vor Jahren bei irgendwelchen Familienfeiern oder Hochzeiten getroffen).
Und ich war sehr überrascht über die große Zahl an Anhängern für Ghana, viele Deutsche, die sich in der Ghana-Masse zu Hause fühlten. :)
An einem Punkt gab es sogar mehr Deutsche als Ghanaer, die hinter dem Ghana-Wagen tanzten! Haha :D

Ps.: Es wurde keine Posts in meiner Florenzzeit gepostet. Ach die postet ich dann halt in den nächsten Tagen und die Florenzbilder kommen sobald ich sie aussortiert habe :)

Schönen Pfingstmontag noch!
