As I mentioned in my last post, the anual youth parade took place, lazy as I am I'm posting about it a week later, sorry!
So about the youth parade, it is a really old celebration which goes back in time of my really old town. In the morning there is a parade of all students, walking through the nostalgic streets, girls all in with with cornflower in their hairs and hands, boys with white shirt and blue trousers. This is like sacred and you MUST stick to the dresscode. It's really weird cause I've walked with that parade for 10 years now and this is the first time I just stood at the edge of the street and watched but I guess I need to get used to that strange feeling.
So in the afternoon there is a battle reconstructed by volunteers. The two parties are Students from the 5th to 9th grade all in blue and the other party consists of different clubs of adults which dress up differently. They march throught the town and then they stage fights and it all ends with a burning castle and the students winning.
You can see this is all really traditional and for those that don't come form here it might seem all weird and strange but I like it really much and it showes the solidarity of the citizen and it just belongs here.
xoxo, Myrtha
