It was very bizarre...while I could expect young men and women dressed up in brightly coloured costumes, it was much more difficult to accept what appeared to be very respectable German businessmen and business ladies wearing these ridiculous outfits.
I don't know how to put this delicately, but this was a very different image of the German people than that which I grew up with, as my dad and other relatives told stories around the dining room table. And these were certainly not the people we saw watching Second World War movies.
But people were singing and dancing and drinking and having a wonderful, wonderful time. The one thing they weren't doing, despite their outfits, was smoking dope. We didn't smell any...although we did see a lot of very drunk people.
As the day wore on, and people got more and more drunk, there was more and more broken glass and garbage strewn about the site. And just as I started to wonder how they would ever clean it all up, there were the workmen...and yes, this is what I have learned to expect from this very industrious people.
But they sure can be fun-loving too. It's called Schlager Move. Here's a very long and somewhat boring video from last year's event. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9jpV5l7mPk But it will give you a better idea of what happens at the end of June on the streets of Hamburg.
