17/05 Mannheim, Germany

Today, we went to Mannheim's Holi Festival !!!, which was a india's festival. Initially I did not want to go because it was quite expensive which was 23 Euro. But, everyone was going to there and I felt a bit boring after having lunch alone in my room. Suddenly I had a thought that perhaps this would be the last party we all could be together to have loads of fun in Mannheim and I could not even experience this festival when I came back to HK. And I only had exact two months left in Germany. Why not go to an outdoor party I had never tried in HK!!!!!!

The event started at 1200. Around 1530, I asked Saiyam if it was too late to go there now and he said it was not late cuz at that time they were just going to Luissenpark. Then I immediately went to buy online ticket and washed dishes and changed to a white T-shirt. There was a kind of dress code in this Holi Festival that we need to wear white shirts cuz the color can be more vivid. This Holi Festival is about throwing paint bags of different colors to others and at the same time listening to music and party in an outdoor area.

Around 1715, I arrived at the Lucisenpartk. On my right to the venue, I could already listen to the party music and saw many people with many colors on their shirts. I showed my e-ticket to them but they could not be able to scan it. I did not know why. However, they finally let me in and give me a ticket with 6 paint bags !! HAH, the ticket I bought only included 1 bags but I did not know why they give me this bag ticket. The ticket for 6 bags must be more expensive. Yeah, I got more bags to throw to them!!!

Finally I located where they were. I grabbed six bags from the booth. When I went back, they grabbed my paint bags and got 1 left-.- Never mind. And we threw bags to the others to their hair, shirts and face. The music there was really good. It was so awesome to listen great music and dance in an outdoor area and could throw paint bags to others and color up ourselves. This was probably the most happinest party I had ever in Mannheim. I took a lot of photos them. I really had a lot of fun there. Look at them !!

























The Festival ended at 2200. And we had danced for at least 5 hours LOL. We were all very tired. We took the tram back to Haupbahnhof first. Some went to eat doner and Santi, lucie, saiyam, margot went back to our dorms. Santi and me had dinner at 0030-.- Afterthat, I took shower and my hair was all filled with yellow color!!
