Thanks to this day I can now say I have visited Binche, Belgium.
{which I am not so sure many people can say}
The biggest Carnival celebration in Belgium is said to be in Binche.
If I must choose one word for these festivities: strange.
In a nutshell - people come out of their homes, wasted drunk, waiting in the cold for hours and hours, for this parade of very bizzare outfitted men moving at the slowest snail-pace you have ever seen, who suddenly start pelting - I mean PELTING - the crowd with oranges ...
Yes. Seriously.
This will certainly go toward my life goal of saying I have seen it all.
Happy Carnival everyone!!
