Dressed up as a cat, Yabla reporter Cettina mingles with the Carnival-goers to show you what this popular event is all about. So in the spirit of the Carnival season - and I do mean 'season', because in some regions of Germany, Carnival is called die 5. Jahreszeit [the fifth season of the year!]... Helau!

Greetings again from Linkenheim! In this second clip, Yabla reporter Cettina returns with more Fasching interviews and asks the oddly-dressed revelers about their diverse and creative costumes. Viel Spaß!

The weather in Mainz was perfect for the celebration of Rosenmontag with a huge parade, which people came from all over the region and the country to see.
