Carnival in the Netherlands (Dutch: Carnaval; also called "vastenavond" – eve of the fasting or Limburgish: "vastelaovend") is a festival held mainly in the Southern and Eastern regions of the Netherlands with an emphasis on role-reversal and the suspension of social norms, as part of celebrations of Carnival. The feast was assimilated by the Catholic Church, taking elements from ancient pagan spring festivals and is celebrated in the three days preceding the Christian holidays of Ash Wednesday and Lent.
I live in this region of the Netherlands so in these days I see mostly dressed up men and women who celebrate this festival.
As you can see not that much eye candy to look at. I would prefer to see more elegant costumes like they wear in Venice these days.
The challenge now is to wonder (and eventually finding out) who and/or what is behind the mask and costume. So maybe South American Carnival would be "easier" to have a hook-up adventure?
